Prof. M. L. Pinitbhand Paribatra, Ph.D. Academic Years 2017 ABSTRACT According to Thai constitutions, parliament has legal duty and power to engage in foreign policy, but it was not until 2007 that Thai parliament could play much of an assertive role in the foreign policy process. Parliamentarians amended section 224 of the constitution of 1997 in order to control and check the cabinet and government in the matter of negotiations with other states and international organizations and to allow itself to engage in the process of foreign policy making. Through adding more stages in conduct of negotiation, parliament could be a part of consideration and approval of negotiation framework and final agreed text, not merely acknowledgment.

  • Thailand's Moment of Truth — Royal Succession After the King Passes Away.” - U.S
    THAILAND’S MOMENT OF TRUTH A SECRET HISTORY OF 21ST CENTURY SIAM #THAISTORY | VERSION 1.0 | 241011 ANDREW MACGREGOR MARSHALL MAIL | TWITTER | BLOG | FACEBOOK | GOOGLE+ This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. This story is dedicated to the people of Thailand and to the memory of my colleague Hiroyuki Muramoto, killed in Bangkok on April 10, 2010. Many people provided wonderful support and inspiration as I wrote it. In particular I would like to thank three whose faith and love made all the difference: my father and mother, and the brave girl who got banned from Burma. ABOUT ME I’m a freelance journalist based in Asia and writing mainly about Asian politics, human rights, political risk and media ethics. For 17 years I worked for Reuters, including long spells as correspondent in Jakarta in 1998-2000, deputy bureau chief in Bangkok in 2000-2002, Baghdad bureau chief in 2003-2005, and managing editor for the Middle East in 2006-2008. In 2008 I moved to Singapore as chief correspondent for political risk, and in late 2010 I became deputy editor for emerging and frontier Asia. I resigned in June 2011, over this story. I’ve reported from more than three dozen countries, on every continent except South America. I’ve covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories and East Timor; and political upheaval in Israel, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and Burma. Of all the leading world figures I’ve interviewed, the three I most enjoyed talking to were Aung San Suu Kyi, Xanana Gusmao, and the Dalai Lama.

  • A Short Account of the Rise and Fall of the Thai Technocracy
    A Short Account of the Rise and Fall of the Thai Technocracy Pasuk Phongpaichit* and Chris Baker** Thailand’s sustained growth from the 1960s to 1990s was often attributed to a strong technocracy relatively free of political influence. Members of the first cadre of technocrats, which emerged in the 1950s, were mostly educated in Europe. In the “American” era, more were educated in the United States and believed the role of government was to provide a safe and liberal environment for capital, mostly through a fixed exchange rate and balanced budget. After 1975 the technocrats had to manage a more complex environment because of internal political conflicts and external shocks. They became more powerful because their skills were in demand and because they had strong backing from international institutions. During the boom that began in the mid 1980s, their grip on policy diminished. After the finan- cial crisis of 1997, the technocrats were blamed for not adjusting to changes in the domestic and international economy. Keywords: Thailand, technocrat, development policy, financial crisis In the 1990s, it became conventional to attribute the extraordinary success of the Thai economy to careful and conservative management by technocrats. After World War II, Thailand had been one of the most backward economies in Asia, lacking even basic insti- tutions implanted elsewhere by colonial governments. For the next half century, the economy grew at a cumulative average rate of over 7% a year, without once coming even close to a year of the negative growth experienced by most other Southeast Asian coun- tries during the oil shocks.

  • The Rise and Fall of Siamese Civic Nationalism
    15 September 2011 Department of Politics Birkbeck, University of London The Rise and Fall of Siamese Civic Nationalism Student Number: 12700940 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the MSc in Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict. Word count: 15,499 12700940 Acknowledgement I would like to thank my Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict course director Eric Kaufmann for introducing me to the concept of civic-ethnic nationalisms during one of his lectures at Birkbeck College, and guiding me to many helpful materials in writing this dissertation. My interest in the relation between nationalism and royalism in Thailand’s political history is owed to Thongchai Winichakul. Furthermore, I am in enormous debt to Somsak Jeamteerasakul who has not only written extensively on the subjects of history and democracy in Thailand but also personally inspired me to critically investigate the revolution of 24th June 1932 and its contested meanings. Last of all, this dissertation is dedicated to those who lost their lives in Thailand’s political crisis of April-May 2010. 12700940 Contents Acknowledgement Abstract Part I Civic and Ethnic Nationalism Part II Historical Background Part III Three Waves of Siamese Nationalisms Pre-24th June 1932 Ethnic Nationalism 24th June 1932 Civic Nationalism Post-24th June 1932 Civic-Ethnic Hybrid Nationalism Part VI Interpreting and Assessing Civic Nationalism Why the need for Civic Nationalism? Does it succeed? Why does Siamese Civic Nationalism fail? Conclusion Appendices Bibliography 12700940 Abstract This dissertation attempts to interpret the 24th June 1932 Revolution in Thailand, known as Siam at the time, and the events that followed with the perspective of Civic-Ethnic Nationalisms dichotomy, a concept chiefly developed by historian Hans Kohn.
