All quiet on the Thai-Cambodian front
That Thai-Cambodian relations are stable and peaceful after Thailand’s most recent military coup in 2014 is counterintuitive and inconsistent with recent trends and dynamics. When governments loyal to Thaksin Shinawatra took power over the past decade, bilateral relations were cordial and constructive. Conversely, when anti-Thaksin governments were in office, Thai-Cambodian relations became unstable and adversarial. But this has not been the case…
Roundtable
The accession of Donald Trump to the US presidency has triggered serious discussions within Australia’s policy community over the future of Australia-US security relations and Australia’s role in Southeast Asia. The United States’ withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has led to questions about Washington’s commitment to maintain a viable economic and strategic presence in the Asia-Pacific. Intensified tensions between China and the…
An Unaligned Alliance
U.S.‐Thai security relations are “underperforming” due to major shifts in Thailand's and the United States' relations at the interactive domestic, regional, and international levels. The recent predominance of the military in Thailand's domestic politics has clashed with Washington's interpretation of the Shinawatra family's prior ascent to power through electoral processes. China's rise and its efforts to court the current Thai government by sta…
Southeast Asia
In 2011, Thais reelected a party backed by deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Although Thaksin himself was banned from actually appearing on the ballot, he emerged as the big winner when a new electoral vehicle known as the Pheu Thai Party (PTP, or "For Thais") gained a decisive victory with his younger sister Yingluck at its head. As of early 2012, however, no other reformist groups or individuals had appeared on the scene possessing any…
Thailand Since the Coup
The 2006 overthrow of Thaksin Shinawatra’s government at the hands of the Royal Thai Army signaled a major step backward for Thai democracy. The country’s 1997 Constitution—designed to promote the transparency and accountability of the political system and the stability and effectiveness of government—permitted Thaksin to convert his populist TRT party into an unstoppable political machine, one which would eventually fall victim to allegations of…

Thaksin ́ s Political Zenith and Nadir
Thaksin ́ s Political Zenith and Nadir
The year 2005 is likely to be remembered as extraordinary, even peculiar, in the history of Thailand's evolving democracy since 1932. Within the year Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra soared to unprecedented political heights and then descended steeply into a political abyss. His Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party secured a thumping victory in the February 2005 General Election. Yet less than a year later, he faced a virulent Bangkok-based insurrection th…
Conflict and Terrorism in Southern Thailand
Thailand
Introduction On the face of it, 2002 should be seen ? in the parlance of political science ? as the year of intensification of Thailand's democratic consolidation. The promulgation of a new Constitution in October 1997 had been the culmination of five years of political reforms designed to exorcise the ghosts of frequent military coups, patronage, money politics, and vote-buying that long plagued the country's politics of representation. Less tha…
