TRENDS OF DEMOCRACY IN THAI SOCIETY

Abstract

A paradigm shifts in security and democratic growth resulted from the Thai state's problem-state throughout the period of change beginning in 1932, when it transitioned from absolute monarchy to democracy with the monarchy established by the Kingdom of Thailand's constitution.

As a result, the Thai government transitioned to a semi-democracy, which was acknowledged as a structure that established both legal and informal frameworks for performers to explicitly fulfill their social roles. Due to the instability of the Thai state's political institutions, politicians, bureaucrats, interest groups, and capitalist organizations have taken on the role of power in ruling the nation. Political power is related to the military or specific organizations only because of things that politicians do and political disputes that they get involved in. In the past, democratic movements in Thai society have frequently been influenced by politics, with coups leading to the collapse of the constitution and democracy, although only up until recently. The "vicious circle," which will lead to greater deterioration, is so named.

Therefore, for the Thai state to evolve democratically, individuals must become more educated, more critical of state authority, more technically advanced, and more conscious of their own rights and freedoms. In order to achieve equality, peace, and well-being that bring happiness with sustainability, the country's supreme power must reside with the people, in a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, or in the political participation of the people as the owners of constitutional sovereign rights.
