Abstract:
|
In late 2004, as Thailand gets ready for its next elections, Prime Minister,
Thaksin Shinawatra's Thai Rak Thai party looks poised for victory. Thaksin has
survived a complete parliamentary term. Thaksin's government has claimed several
economic achievements since it took office in 2001. But many opposition
politicians believe that these achievements are transitory and economic policy
decisions have been taken more in the interests of his family firm and other big
businesses than of the nation as a whole.
The press also questions Thaksin's commitment to democracy.

|
He is complaining about having to answer to unelected judges and once even argued that restraints on his authority are unnecessary, as his wife is enough to keep him in line!
In appointing his cousin supreme commander of the armed forces, and his
brother-in-law assistant chief of the national police, Thaksin seems to have
chosen to ignore public opinion. During Thaksin's tenure, Thailand's various
watchdog agencies have lost much of their vigor and independence. The Senate has
selected two former members of his staff to serve on the Constitutional Court.
Other friends and associates have joined the National Counter Corruption
Commission.
The local media, too, has lost much of its vibrancy over the past four years.
Will Thailand be able to leave behind its past and emerge as a vibrant,
prosperous democracy?
