Abstract

Thailand's political impasse in the past decade is partly attributable to the royalist dominance of the parliamentary system, a dominance developed and strengthened under the cultural condition of hyper-royalism. Hyper-royalism is the politico-cultural condition in which royalism is intensified and exaggerated in public and everyday life. It is sanctioned by legislation that controls expressions about the monarchy in the public sphere. Hyper-royalism began in the mid-1970s as a measure to counteract perceived communist threats. Despite the fact that these threats had disappeared by the early 1980s, hyper-royalism persisted and was strengthened to support royalist democracy. Hyper-royalism generates the concept of the ideology of modern monarchy -- a charismatic king who is sacred, righteous and cares for his people, and who is indispensable to Thailand -- and the belief that royalist democracy is best for Thailand. Hyper-royalism also generates the illusion that the monarchy is divine, thanks to visual performances and objects, especially through television and majestic pageantry. Accordingly, the ideal monarch is found in King Bhumibol. Given the mortality of Bhumibol, however, future prospects of hyper-royalism and royalist-guided democracy are grim. Thailand's political future is highly uncertain.

This compilation of biographical data on the military officers in the National Administrative Reform Assembly (1976-77), the National Legislative Assembly, and/or the Senate (1979 to the present) is meant to provide base-line data for further study of military intervention in Thai politics. It also provides the officers' social background, military rank and position at the time they were appointed to their political positions.

Abstract

This book presents the very first analysis of male homosexuality in modern rural Thailand that is based on sociological/anthropological research directly with 25 young same-sex attracted men. It explores changes in the way men view and describe their sexuality over time by interviewing them three times over a period of around 18 months. The men are followed during an important transition in their lives: the end of their high school years and the end (in most cases) of their life as a child with parents or extended family at a rural home. Nearly all decided to move to a city to continue their education or to find work. Some also had stints with sex work in one of Thailand's well-known centers for prostitution. For nearly all men, this transition brought them into contact with new ideas about gender and sexuality, and many experienced an abrupt increase in their opportunities to have sex, leading to a readjustment of their moral universes. The book presents significant new insights about the Thai sex/gender system, particularly on how it is affected by processes of globalization and the ascent of the Internet and mobile phones as tools for dating and romance.

Abstract

Despite rapid industrialization in Thailand, the contribution of agriculture to GDP remains unusually high. The share of agricultural employment in total employment has also remained high, relative to the country's income level, as has the share of the rural population relative to the total population. Agribusiness has grown significantly, and there has been a rise in the number of large and strongly financed commercial farms that are less labour intensive. Contract farming has also been developing. The introduction of a rice premium by the government obstructed the modernization of the agricultural rice sector and caused the rice share in GDP to steadily decline, while that for upland crops such as cassava, maize, sugarcane, and oil palm increased. However, rice remains the most important crop. The high proportion of the population still living in rural areas and working in the agricultural sector attests to the resilience of that sector in the face of industrialization.

Abstract

While Thailand's health system has fared relatively well through the COVID-19 pandemic, the country's economy faced significant strains and likely a harsher downturn than other economies in Southeast Asia. In particular, the services sector-heavily reliant on international tourism-suffered, and debt levels worsened substantially during the pandemic. Thailand's economy has steadily recovered following the peak of the pandemic in 2020, with greater optimism coming from the growing trade in goods and growing investments from China and Japan. The tourism sector has also steadily regained strength since the worst points of the pandemic. Despite these recent positive turns, Thailand still faces daunting long-term economic and societal challenges, many of which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This text examines these important topics.

Abstract

Remplis qu’ils sont de pirogues circulant à travers les diverses espaces des deux, d’esprits ailés et de messagers des dieux disposant de l’arc-en-ciel pour leurs déplacements terrestres ou intersidéraux, les récits légendaires de la Polynésie française avaient assez bien préparé leurs auditeurs aux exploits de la navigation aérienne des envahisseurs blancs. Nous avons réuni ici quelques documents d’histoire. Ils permettent de fixer les différentes étapes qui jalonnèrent la route malaisée et cahotante de l’implantation d’un réseau aérien en Polynésie française. Route qui s’est soudain trouvée ouverte et dégagée lors de l’installation des colons de Mururoa – à quelque chose malheur est bon ! – et plaise aux dieux que la Polynésie connaisse de nombreuses retombées aussi bénéfiques ! Hormis donc l’éventualité de perturbations politiques, il est certain que les choses vont maintenant aller plus vite. La lecture de ce petit ouvrage ne manquera sans doute pas de faire sourire celui qui aurait la curiosité d’en tourner les pages aux alentours de l’an 2000.
