Thailand Quo Vadis? The Kingdom Six Months after the Military Coup

Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, 2007, vol. 26, issue 2, 67-78

Abstract: Six months have passed since the Thai military has ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and taken over power. The situation in the country has not eased since then. The military-installed government has proven to be unable to restore peace in the south and to bring the economy back on track. It faced severe problems in providing evidence on Thaksin s alleged corruption. Rumours about the rulers intention to reduce the scope of public participation perpetuated the public’s growing feeling of mistrust. With a down-spiralling economy and a security situation worse than before the coup uncertainty took hold of the Thai citizens and pressed on the government to deliver its ambitious promises timely.
