Buddhism and nationalism
In parallel with the increased political polarization, the long-running campaign to make Buddhism the national religion of Thailand has intensified since 2005. Nourished by the conflict in southern Thailand between Muslim insurgents and the central state—and the subsequent growing unease between Thai Muslims and Buddhists—but also by the political divisions within the monkhood, this campaign advocates a reinforcement of the links between the mona…
Conclusion
This book has argued that the long-standing subservience of Buddhism to the central state in Thailand, and its use for nation-building purposes, has been the main factor behind the weakening of the religion. The disconnect between the leadership of the Thai sangha and the lives of common people, as well as the increasing political polarization within the sangha in the last two decades, has aggravated this state of deliquescence. The monastic comm…

Many of the journalists, both Thai and Foreign, were present and Khun Roong and the other staff at the bar were working non-stop, dropping pizza here and glasse…
Armée du Peuple, Armée du Roi
À quoi doit servir l’armée dans les grands pays d’Asie du Sud-Est ? Pendant de longues années, la réponse donnée par l'Indonésie comme par la Thaïlande a été claire. Les militaires contrôlaient la vie politique, l'activité économique, et s’efforçaient d'assurer leur emprise à tous les niveaux de la société. Depuis 1992 à Bangkok et 1998 à Jakarta, les uniformes semblent de nouveau cantonnés à leur tâche traditionnelle de défense nationale. Mais c…
