  • 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.

  • Who Is Thaksin Shinawatra?
    THE THAKSINIZATION OF THAILAND Ukrist Pathmanand Duncan McCargo Duncan McCargo and Ukrist Pathmanand For decades, Thailand was economically dynamic, yet politically shambolic. 1997 changed all that: the Asian economic crisis, closely followed by the promulgation of a new liberal constitution in Thailand, paved the way for the political rise of Thaksin Shinawatra, a fabulously wealthy telecommuni- cations magnate often compared with Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi. Although presenting itself as a national, transformative party, at heart Thaksin’s ruling Thai Rak Thai Party was little more than a vehicle for the OF THAILAND THE THAKSINIZATION interests and ambitions of its founder-leader. After winning a landslide election victory in 2001, Prime Minister Thaksin exercised an extraordinary degree of personal dominance over the Thai political scene. He was re- elected in 2005, the first Thai premier to do so. Though toppled by a military coup in 2006, Thaksin continues to exert a powerful influence on Thai poli- tics today, both in terms of his legacy and ongoing political activities. This book – by two leading scholars in the field – is an analysis of Thaksin at the height of his power. It examines Thaksin’s background, his business activities, the emergence of Thai Rak Thai, his relationship with the military, Thaksin’s use of rhetoric through media such as radio, his wider political economy networks, and what this all meant for the future. The result is essential reading for students, academics, journalists, dip- lomats, investors – and anyone else who needs to understand the Thaksin phenomenon in present-day Thailand. Winner of the 2009 Bernard Schwartz Book Award for his Tearing Apart the Land, Duncan McCargo is professor of Southeast East Asian politics at the University of Leeds.

  • Industrialisation and Inequality in Thailand*
    1 Industrialisation and Inequality in Thailand* Somboon Siriprachai** Introduction Although Thailand has of late been regarded as a newly industrialising economy (NIE) by international organisations such as the World Bank (1993), the Thai people face acute problems that are rarely seriously discussed. Indeed, it might be too early to cite Thailand as an NIE. Thailand's economic development over the last three decades has obviously not been successful in the areas of human development and income distribution (in contrast, it might have failed in enhancing the quality of life as a whole) in the rural areas. Economic growth in particular seems to be impressive, but income inequality is rising. In fact the uneven development can invariably be seen as a trade-off between the agricultural and industrial sectors or between the rural and urban sectors or between Bangkok and the provinces. For years, the rural poor have been trying to solve their present difficulties by persistent migration from rural areas to seek work in Bangkok and other big cities, principally in the so-called "informal sectors". However, the picture of Thailand painted by some international organisations, namely the World Bank and the IMF, seems to be blurred by high economic growth. The severe effects and externalities of the industrialisation process have been paid less attention. The terrible fire at the Kader factory, in May 1993, in which nearly 200 workers were killed and --------------------------------------- * The shorter version of this paper was published in the title “Inconsistencies and Inequalities in Thai Industrialisation,” in Johannes D.

  • Coalition Politics and Reform Dynamics in Thailand
    GRIPS Discussion Paper 13-26 Coalition Politics and Reform Dynamics in Thailand Veerayooth Kanchoochat 【Emerging State Project】 February 2014 National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies 7-22-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan 106-8677 Coalition Politics and Reform Dynamics in Thailand Veerayooth Kanchoochat National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Tokyo, Japan [email protected] This draft: 11 February 2014 ABSTRACT This article provides an explanation for Thailand’s long-term policymaking patterns from 1980 to 2011, with particular reference to macroeconomic and industrial policies. It develops a typology of reform orientations in Thailand, conditioned by government type (strong or fragmented) and ruling- coalition type (unelected or elected elites). When under strong leadership, reform was substantively implemented; its orientation was forged into fiscal tightening and “exclusive industrial policy” when ruled by unelected elites (Prem, Anand, and Surayud), but into an expansionary budget and “inclusive industrial policy” when ruled by elected elites (Chatichai and Thaksin). In contrast, when under multi-party governments, political leaders were less capable of pursuing meaningful reform and ended up with either internationally dominant discourses (Chuan and Abhisit) or pork-barrel projects (Banharn and Chavalit). It is further argued that government type hinges upon constitutional design while the two-elite struggle has resulted from the political turmoil of the prior decade. The assessment of reform outcomes requires a rethinking of the relationship between inflation, macroeconomic stability, and growth; and of institutional prerequisites for industrial policymaking. Policy suggestions entail constitutional redesign and the redressing of macroeconomic and industrial balance. * This study has been financially supported by the Emerging State Project (Comparative History Approach: Shiraishi Group) under the Grant-in-Aid research project No.25101004 of the Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences.

  • Technocracy and Thaksinocracy in Thailand: Reforms of the Public Sector and the Budget System Under the Thaksin Government
    Technocracy and Thaksinocracy in Thailand: Reforms of the Public Sector and the Budget System under the Thaksin Government Suehiro Akira* Thaksin Shinawatra seized power in 2001 and then was exiled from Thailand after the military coup d’etat in September 2006. He himself is still the focal point of serious political conflict taking place in contemporary Thailand. He has always been attacked by anti-Thaksin groups on account of the following reasons: extreme power concentration, the political style of Thaksinocracy, nepotism, corruption, and popu- lism in favor of rural people. However, very few scholars have focused on his political and social reforms which aimed at modernizing the Kingdom of Thailand in order to reorganize the country into a strong state. This article seeks to clarify the characteristics of the Thaksin government as a “destructive creator” of existing power structure and traditional bureaucracy. The article offers a brief discussion of Thaksin’s populist policies such as village funds, 30 baht medical services, and one tambon one product (OTOP) project, and then explores the background of, the process behind, and the policy results of two major reforms undertaken by the Thaksin government in the public sector (bureaucracy) and the budget system. These reforms appear to have transformed Thailand from a traditional bureaucratic polity into a modern state in conjunction with an emerging middle-income country in the global capitalism. But Thaksin’s ambitious reforms ultimately collapsed because they were too radical and too speedy for all the people, including royalists, the military, government officers, as well as conservatives. Keywords: Thailand, Thaksinocracy, political reform, public sector, the budget system, bureaucracy, populism, strong state Introduction In September 2006, a military coup d’etat toppled Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra’s five-and-a-half-year-old government.
