| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Thai monarchy, in partnership with the powerful military, has faced an unprecedented challenge from protesters aiming to rein in its unchecked informal authority through specific reforms in adherence with the country's Constitution. For decades, the two institutions had forged a solid partnership, which has stridently dominated the Thai political landscape, leaving a little room for contest from the opposition. But the monarchy under King Maha Vajiralongkorn faces a new crisis of legitimacy, as shown by the manifest evidence of the ten-point demands articulated by the protesters, as well as my independent investigation into the feasibility of open dialogue on the status of the monarchy. |
