| Abstract | The National Statistical Office of Thailand (NSO) reported that the Internet penetration in Thailand increased from around twenty-nine percent in 2013 to almost fifty percent in 2016, which means that half of the population in Thailand now have access to the Internet. Following the rapid use of cyberspace, the Internet is now treated as a space for social and economic activities. It now plays a key role in the expansion of digital economy in the digital society. However, it also potentially poses a threat to cyberspace. As a consequence of higher Internet penetration in Thailand, the government regards cyberspace as a territory that needs to be protected due to cyber threats which can cause a cascading effect ranging from individual, society and the government to the international level. In fact, the Thai Government has intensified its efforts in controlling information available on the Internet. This paper presents the theoretical framework for analysis of Securitization from a constructivist's point of view in seeing how the conception of cybersecurity itself is constructed or given meaning in Thailand. |
