Reflections on the Fifteenth Anniversary of Suppressed Dissent: The Internal Security Operations Command’s 2009–2010 Crackdown on Thailand’s Red Shirts
The 2009–2010 crackdown on the Red Shirts, a Thai political movement opposed to authoritarianism, resulted in a profoundly tragic event. In 2010, the Thai government engaged in a full-scale undeclared war that led to over 100 fatalities and thousands of injuries—an event that marks its 15th anniversary in 2025. While the military crackdown has been extensively researched, this article primarily examines the suppression carried out by the Internal…

Institutionalized, it becomes regime policy, exemplified in the extreme by the German Nazi regime’s demonization of Jews. Dehumanized imagery is used to distinguish ‘others’, i.e. social, cultural, political, and/or economic out-groups, from ‘normal’ members of society and to support the power and control ambitions of those who hold or seek to hold domina…
Subversion of transitional justice in Thailand: Transitional injustice in the case of the ‘Red Shirts’
The concept of transitional justice (TJ) was widely discussed in Thailand following the massacre of ‘Red Shirt’ protesters in 2010. While TJ is generally conceptualised as a set of internationally recognised and promoted approaches to overcome intra-societal conflict and pursue reconciliation, the current article builds on recent research that finds TJ can be subverted by holders of institutional power to become transitional injustice (TiJ) [Cyan…

The authors analyse the military draft from a nonkilling global political science perspective and present a n…
