“This study is valuable because it provides essential texts for understanding the political standpoints and ideologies of royalism, constitutionalism, democracy, the military, the judiciary, and civil society in Thailand. In addition, the articles in this book shine light on the period since 1983 when they were written—an era which has seen increasing attempts by Thais to widen political space and participate in civil engagement—despite the 2006 and 2014 coups, while the monarchy has tried to revive its relevance.”
