Language list English Language of Material English, Thai Context Historical Note During the Red Shirt street protests at the Ratchaprasong intersection (Bangkok, Thailand) in April- May 2010, a sort of message-board was created where people could leave notes with messages to the Red Shirt leaders. On top of the message board a sign was posted ‘Say Hi to the Leaders’ (in English); the construction consisted of a wooden frame with plastic boards nailed onto it and a small wooden shelf beneath it to write on; pens and post-it notes were provided; the notes were attached to the plastic board with pins. It was situated (but maybe not all the time) against the tourist booth on the corner of Thanon Ratchadamri and Thanon Phloen Chit near the Gaysorn mall. All together there are 1098 messages in this collection, the total collection was bigger but some messages were lost during transport. Also, we don’t know the date when the board went up and if it has been emptied in between to show the messages to the leaders. The exact number of messages will never be known, but this collection gives an indication of the sentiments amongst the protesters. The great majority of the messages is in Thai, some are directly written in English either by Thai people or foreign visitors, and some are in other languages. The collection was donated to the Institute by a visitor of Bangkok at the time who was able to secure this collection on May 20, 2010, the day following the violent dispersal of the Red Shirt protesters by the Thai Army. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช (ชชชชชชช, ชชชชชชชชช) ชชชชชชช ชชชชชช - ชชชชชชช 2553, ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ‘Say Hi to Leaders’ (‘ชชชชชชชชชชช’ – ชชชชชช); ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ช; ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช- ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช(ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช) ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชช ชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชช ช ชชช ชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช 1,098 ชชชช, ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชช,ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช, ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช, ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ช. ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช 20 ชช ชชช, 2553, ชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชชช.

  • An Analysis of the Links Between the Alberta New Democrats and Organized Labour
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE LINKS BETWEEN THE ALBERTA NEW DEMOCRATS AND ORGANIZED LABOUR CHRISTOPHER CHARLTON Bachelor of Arts, Trinity Western University, 2006 A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Of the University of Lethbridge In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS, POLITICAL SCIENCE Department of Political Science University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Christopher Charlton, 2009 Abstract Like its counterparts in other provinces, the Alberta New Democratic Party has a formal relationship with organized labour. This thesis will examine the logic of the underlying relationship that persists between the two parties despite the difficult political and economic environment in Alberta. This thesis will discuss the complex and changing relationship between labour and the NDP in Alberta, making use of data from a variety of sources, but will rely heavily on data gathered from a series of interviews conducted with union and party officials in 2008. The thesis will deal particularly with the increasing fragmentation of the union movement in Alberta and the increasing independence of labour union campaigns during elections as challenges for the Alberta NDP in the future. iii Table of Contents Introduction Page 1 Chapter 2: Theoretical Context for Union and Party relations Page 7 Chapter 3: The Historical Interaction of Labour and Political Parties in Alberta 1901-1971 Page 42 Chapter 4: The Modern Context for Union Party Relations 1971- 2008 Page 75 Chapter 5: The Union-Party Relationship

Whelan & Orawan Yafa Layout by Pongsak Chanon Design by Suthida Buasukkasem Photos without credits are courtesy of mission observers ISBN: 978-616-90144-2-3 Book cover design by Akanit Srisuttiwong Printed in Bangkok, Thailand FOREWORD ANFREL was established in 1997 as Asia’s first regional network of civil society organisations promoting democratization. It has a strong network of over 20 partner organisations within Asia from whom it draws experienced election observers to take part in its various missions. ANFREL has significant experience coordinating international election observation missions in Thailand, receiving international funding to observe the 2001, 2005, and 2007 general elections. Through our work and the work of Thai election observation organizations such as the Open Forum for Democracy Foundation (PollWatch) and the People’s Network for Elections in Thailand (P-NET), I believe that election observers made a significant contribution towards not just the fairness of this election, but towards strengthening Thailand’s democracy in the long-term. This report is the product of information and analysis from the ANFREL observers and Secretariat. It covers the pre and post election periods as well as Election Day itself.

I declare that my thesis consists of 97,959 words 2 Abstract Since the early 1990s, the prominent role of ‘Octobrists’ – former left wing student activists from the 1970s – has become increasingly evident in parliamentary and extra-parliamentary politics. Some Octobrists have played leading or supporting roles in key moments of political transition, such as the 1992 urban middle-class movement for democracy, various social movements throughout the mid-1990s, the political reform process of the late 1990s, and the rise of the Thais Love Thais (Thai Rak Thai) government under Thaksin Shinawatra in 2001.
