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. -

The World Factbook
The World Factbook East & Southeast Asia :: Thailand Introduction :: Thailand Background: A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US treaty ally in 1954 after sending troops to Korea and later fighting alongside the United States in Vietnam. Thailand since 2005 has experienced several rounds of political turmoil including a military coup in 2006 that ousted then Prime Minister THAKSIN Chinnawat, followed by large-scale street protests by competing political factions in 2008, 2009, and 2010. Demonstrations in 2010 culminated with clashes between security forces and pro-THAKSIN protesters, elements of which were armed, and resulted in at least 92 deaths and an estimated $1.5 billion in arson-related property losses. THAKSIN's youngest sister, YINGLAK Chinnawat, in 2011 led the Puea Thai Party to an electoral win and assumed control of the government. YINGLAK's leadership was almost immediately challenged by historic flooding in late 2011 that had large swathes of the country underwater and threatened to inundate Bangkok itself. Throughout 2012 the Puea Thai-led government struggled with the opposition Democrat Party to fulfill some of its main election promises, including constitutional reform and political reconciliation. Since January 2004, thousands have been killed -

Catalogue Des Éditions Gope (Avril 2020)
Catalogue 2020 LITTÉRATURE - DOCUMENTAIRE - BD Reflets d’Asie du Sud-Est Notre ligne éditoriale Créée en 2009, Gope est une maison d’édition indépendante ayant pour vocation de faire découvrir l’Asie du Sud-Est (Thaïlande, Hong Kong, Malaisie, Cambodge, Indonésie…) par le livre et plus particu- lièrement le texte. Loin de tout exotisme bon marché, nos livres ne vendent pas une destination mais permettent de découvrir, comprendre, apprécier ces terra qui sont pour beaucoup incognita, et leurs habitants. C’est pourquoi nous privilégions les auteurs, expatriés ou natifs, qui sont à cheval entre deux cultures, occidentale et orientale. Cette ligne éditoriale nous conduit ainsi à publier des traductions (langues sources : anglais, thaï, chinois). Nos livres s’adressent, bien sûr, aux personnes ayant un intérêt pour l’Asie en général, et notamment pour l’Asie du Sud-Est, mais nombre d’entre eux peuvent toucher un public plus large de lecteurs désirant découvrir de nouvelles contrées et/ou de nouvelles voix. L’éditeur : David Magliocco Né le 9 février 1966, en Haute-Savoie. Fait des études universitaires puis travaille dans l’industrie électronique, d’abord à des postes techniques pour ensuite, à partir de 1998, occu- per des postes d’encadrement impliquant des voyages réguliers en Chine. De 2008 à 2014, exerce en tant que consultant indépendant. En ce qui concerne les métiers du livre, David Magliocco sortait donc d’absolument nulle part lorsqu’il a créé les éditions Gope ! Toutefois, gros lecteur, il avait aiguisé sa plume, pour son plaisir, dans diffé- rentes expériences d’écriture et de traduction. -
