The products should be extended to decorations and art such as fashioning the earthen pottery into lamp bases, clocks, aroma therapy burners and tableware products, 3) Community pottery producers should form a group and network with exporters in determining fair trade agreements and reasonable pricing so that the business and cooperation is sustainable by all sides, 4) Pottery products should be distributed and dispersed to markets in other provinces. The products should always be displayed and ready for export at national and foreign product exhibitions. Earthen pottery producers should work with other producers of similar products such as porcelain and ceramic producers and display their products together and 5) Promote the advantages and benefits of earthen Mon pottery.

Established in 1934, the university was originally named “The University of Moral Science and Politics”, offering academic programs in law and politics. The history of political development in Thailand can be understood from the signiicant role that Thammasat University and its students have played from the beginning until now. On many occasions, mass demonstra- tions on Thammasat’s main campus at Tha Prachan triggered events that eventually led to landmark achievements in the progress of democracy in Thailand.

    Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood

    Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood Yoshifumi TAMADA INTRODUCTION Floods involve not only technical issues such as identifying the causes, developing and implementing disaster control measures, and water resource management; they also involve issues of profit and loss distribution, with decisions related to when and how sacrifices, compensation, and relief are assigned to whom (Kasian 2011). The 2011 Thailand floods involved not only a people’s fight against water, but also involved many cases of conflict among people. Amid the floods, people sought scapegoats for the causes of the floods, claiming that the disaster was beyond imagination to evade blame. They argued about which communities should face the force of the river overflow. Fierce conflicts related to guidance of the flood flows to one community or another erupted particularly between Bangkok and neighboring provinces, and within Bangkok, between the left and right banks of the Chao Phraya River and on the left bank between the Phra Nakhon Area and the eastern area. Heated arguments arose in relation to short-, medium-, and long-term flood control measures, involving issues such as whether to build a dam in an upstream area or not, where in a midstream area to place a retarding 1 basin, whether to build a ring levee around entire industrial estates and urban areas to prevent water inflow in the downstream delta area or not, and who is responsible for undertaking their design and construction. Regarding the issue of aid for flood victims, community neighbors disputed who should receive ex gratia and compensatory payments. Disputes associated with the floods in various aspects intensified while involving political conflicts.
