  • The Search for Order: Constitutions and Human Rights in Thai Political History
    The Search for Order: Constitutions and Human Rights in Thai Political History Thanet Aphornsuvan, Ph.D Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Bangkok Thailand. In 1997 Parliament passed the new Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2540(AD.1997). The new Constitution reflected the crystallization of 67 years of Thai democracy. In this sense, the promulgation of the latest constitution was not simply another amendment to the previous constitutions, but it was a political reform that involved the majority of the people from the very beginning of its drafting. The whole process of constitution writing was also unprecedented in the history of modern Thai politics. Unlike most of the previous constitutions that came into being because those in power needed legitimacy, the Constitution of 1997 was initiated and called for by the citizens who wanted a true and democratic regime transplanted on to Thai soil. This popular demand, fueled by the latest uprising in May 1992 against the military- controlled government, led to the election of the Constitution Drafting Assembly to rewrite the new constitution according to the wishes of the people. To make this Constitution closer to the wishes and aspirations of the people, the Constitution Drafting Assembly organized public hearings to enable concerned citizens and groups to air their opinions on a variety of topics and subjects crucial to the working and efficiency of the Constitution. Finally the new and first popular Constitution was submitted to Parliament with strong support from people of all walks. Its submission was followed by long debates and objections from certain leading members of the House who feared it was overly liberal in its strong support of human rights and liberties of the people.

It examines its underlying concept and mechanisms for conveying political power and social practice, along with the national and cultural identity that operates under an ideological framework. The study consists of two major parts. First, it investigates the monument as a political form of architecture: a symbolic device for the state to manifest, legitimize, and maintain power. The focus then shifts to an architectural form of politics: the ways in which ordinary citizens re-appropriated the Democracy Monument through semantic subversions to perform their social and political activities as well as to form their modern identities. Via the discourse theory, the analytical and critical discussions further reveal complexity, incongruity, and contradiction of meanings in the design of the monument in addition to paradoxical relationships with its setting, Rajadamnoen Avenue, which resulted from changes in the country’s socio-political situations. บทคดยั อ่ งานวิจัยชิ้นนี้ศึกษากระบวนการสื่อผ่านอำนาจอนุสาวรีย์ประชาธิปไตย

  • Framing the Violence in Southern Thailand: Three Waves Of
    FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Sara A. Jones June 2007 This thesis entitled FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM by SARA A. JONES has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Elizabeth Fuller Collins Associate Professor of Classics and World Religions Drew O. McDaniel Interim Director, Center for International Studies Abstract JONES, SARA A., M.A., June 2007, Southeast Asian Studies FRAMING THE VIOLENCE IN SOUTHERN THAILAND: THREE WAVES OF MALAY-MUSLIM SEPARATISM (130 pp.) Director of Thesis: Elizabeth Fuller Collins This thesis examines how the Thai newspaper, The Nation (an English-language daily), portrays the violence in the Malay-Muslim South through the use of agenda- setting concepts and framing analyses in articles published about four events in 2004. Two of the events are examples of state aggression against southern insurgents whereas the other two are instances in which southern insurgents were the primary aggressors against the state and/or citizens. The history of the Malay-Muslim dominant provinces is reviewed, showing how the separatist movement has evolved into three distinct waves. The original secessionist movements focused on ethnic Malay identity; over time elements of Islamist ideology were introduced such that the current movement is not recognizably a separatist or Islamist movement. This thesis also includes a short analysis of articles published in Matichon sutsapd, a Thai-language weekly, and shows how Malay-Muslim Thais in the South demand justice.

  • Income Inequality Political Instability and the Thai Democratic Struggle
    The Paris School of Economics Masters in Analysis and Policy in Economics (APE) Income Inequality, Political Instability, and the Thai Democratic Struggle Master Thesis of: Thanasak Jenmana Thesis Supervisors: Referee: Facundo Alvaredo Thomas Piketty September 6, 2018 For every woman and man who has fought against or suered from reducible injustice in Thailand, and all over the world. Abstract This thesis re-examines the dynamics of income inequality in Thailand between 2001 and 2016. The main motivation lies in the lack of information on the richest citizens in household surveys, which can lead to a signicant underestimation of the inequality level and to a false representation of the historical trend. We combined household surveys, scal data, and national accounts to create a more consistent inequality series. Our results indicate that income inequality is much higher than what past surveys have suggested, specically when looking at the reduction in inequality, which turns to be much more conservative. The top 10% income share went from 52.62% of national income in 2001 to 51.49% in 2016, and the bottom 50% share increased from 11.30% to 13.90%. Within the same time frame, the Gini coecient decreased by only 0.04, reaching 0.60 in 2016. These observed dynamics can be put into perspective using recent political conicts in Thailand, where a strong anti-democratic sentiment has been arsing within the middle and upper social classes. The growth incidence curve shows that, the bottom half have been growing faster than the average since 2001, while the middle class has been growing at a rate below the national average.

  • Examining the Link Between Democracy and Inclusive Economic Growth in Southeast Asia (A Comparative Study of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines)
    Examining the Link between Democracy and Inclusive Economic Growth in Southeast Asia (A comparative study of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines) - - FADILLAHPUTRA i Examining the Link between Democracy and Inclusive Economic Growth in Southeast Asia (A comparative study of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines) FADILLAH PUTRA Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2017 School of Social and Political Science University of Melbourne ii Abstract Embedded in all our assumptions and hopes for democracy is the belief that a democratic system will make life better, economically and socially, for its citizens. Given this almost universal assumption it is surprising how little we really know about the impact of democratisation upon the welfare of citizens and the variables linking the two. This thesis investigates the impact of democracy on Inclusive Economic Growth, and mainly questioning: “Does democracy matter in the delivery of larger and more effective social policies that improve inclusive economic growth? ”The four cases selected to empirically analyse the relationship among the three variables (democracy, social policy, and inclusive economic growth) are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The finding is social policy is one of the potential variables linking the two; especially when the development of democratic institution run stably and the vast majority of the people support it. In other words, social policy becomes an important variable to test the link between democracy and inclusive economic growth. iii Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due to acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive tables, maps, bibliography and appendices.

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.
