Looking Forward at Thai Democracy (KPI Yearbook 2016)

Description

Currently, the democratic countries in both Western and Eastern hemisphere are facing extreme conditions known as "democracy in retreat". The conditions can be seen in many countries which have been recognized as those with the highest achievements in the development of democracy resulting in the decline of confidence toward democracy. Particularly, many countries in the process of building democracy have found democracy irrelevant to the development of their countries. Even the case of a country Thailand between 2015 and 2016, the social and political reform is raising the draft of Constitution. The King Prajadhipok's Institute, an academic institute of politics, means to promote the awareness of democracy through the KPI YEARBOOK 2016: "Looking Forward at Thai Democracy". The book has included many phenomena and events of "democracy" synthesized in the context of Thailand to share and create as many values and meanings of democracy as possible. Promoting, developing, and driving quality of democracy in Thailand is for the stability of the country. The institute has collected a total of eight academic articles with the scholars' perspectives in the field of political science, law, public administration, social sciences, and economics. Their interests, expertise, and experience are contributed to this KPI YEARBOOK 2016 with incitement. ISBN:9789744499615
