| Abstract | The national security policy of Thailand has changed in response to the complex global context. From a state-centric security approach, it has evolved to comprehensive political, economic, social, environmental, and cyber dimensions. This article uses five-step policy analysis to study Thai national security policy, identifying problems as well as policy determinants, environment, options, and recommendations. The evolving security paradigm in Thailand’s has been influenced by internal and external factors, including geopolitical change, economic security, cyber threats, and integration of international cooperation. Current national security policy emphasizes five dimensions: 1) Maintaining domestic peace; 2) Preventing and resolving security problems; 3) Developing security potential; 4) Promoting security cooperation; and 5) Enhancing security management mechanisms. Policy recommendations are also offered, stressing the need to create a threat analysis scenario, allow Parliament to oversee policy, and adjust Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) strategy. These measures and policy guidelines should be implemented for Thailand to effectively and sustainably cope with complex, uncertain 21st century threats and beyond. |
