Political legitimacy in Thailand
- Abstract:
- On May 22, 2014, as this collection was in the early stages of production, Army Commander General Prayuth Chan-Ocha seized power, staging the twelfth successful military coup in Thailand since 1932 and the second in the last eight years. The junta presented the coup as a solution to the wheel of crisis that has gripped the country since 2005. However, rather than stopping the wheel from turning, the Army simply dusted off an old political strategy of direct intervention that deepened the crisis in 2006 and will likely do so once again.
