Thearticleincludes:dialoguein-depthinterviews withnationalandlocalpolitician's,academician ofuniversityandindependentacademician.Theresultof theresearchshows thatThaipolitics is characterizedbydemocracyalternating withdictatorshiporelectionsalternating withacoup.The militaryusuallybegins with maintainingsecurityandsustainingthegovernment. But if the military thinks that the government has retarded the dignity of the country, reduced military budgets, becomeafailedadministration,or causes severesocial conflicts, the militaryand military leaders seize the opportunity to become governors themselves through a coup and create new military politics. In addition, they try to erase the image of a military dictator with various strategies.The political inequality in Thailand tends to continually reproduce itself because of: unequal power in society, the use of military power by leaders in a coup, and creating new laws that benefit their own groups and large self interest groups. Thai political inequality will continue to occur in various dimensions with the added dimension of attempting to create an offense that appears to be legitimate. The offence includes enacting different forms of law, using populist policies and morally benefiting their own groups. As for the rich, they will become richer, and the poor will become poorer If the Thai political culture remains in the same cycle. |
