Paradox of Thailand's 1997 people's constitution: be careful what you wish for
/ Kuhonta, Erik Martinez
Kuhonta, Erik Martinez
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2008.
Summary/Abstract
Thailand's adoption of a new constitution in 1997 was meant to advance far-reaching reforms in the country's democratic development. A decade later, it is clear that these constitutional reforms failed. The Constitution unintentionally consolidated Prime Minister Thaksin's grip on power and indirectly precipitated the conditions for the 2006 coup. This article argues that the drafters' search for a more stable democratic government helped produce an electoral authoritarian regime that triggered the military to intervene
