CONCLUSION: REFLECTIONS ON THE THAI
CONSTITUTIONAL LANDSCAPE
251
Glossary
259
Index
263
This book assesses the attempt to establish a modern system of
democratic government in Thailand against the background of
Thai politics and culture. The fact that since
1932,
when it became
a constitutional monarchy, Thailand has had
18
constitutions speaks
of an unstable political system which has seen rapid and repeated
fluctuations between military rule and elected government. The
main focus of this study is a critical discussion of the institutional
frameworks which have been established under recent constitutions.
Individual chapters deal with: Thai history and context, including the
rote of the monarchy and the military; and of constitutional drafting
processes; parliament and elections; the executive branch of
government, including the role of ministers, the civil service, of a
contracting state and of anti-corruption initiatives; the structure and
challenges of local government, including discussion of the southern
insurgency; the Constitutional Court and constitutional enforcement;
the constitutional role of administrative law and of the administrative
courts; the constitutional protection of human rights, with freedom
of speech as a particular case study.
