What did the 2006 military coup show us? It demonstrated that the
crux of the Thai crisis is far more serious and much wider in scope
than had previously been thought. The monarchy is surely not a
victim in the protracted conflict, but the root cause and
continuing factor that has eroded Thai politics. The coup set in
motion more prejudicial uses of the lese-majeste law, and in the
process, has led to more political prisoners. It has also shredded
the military into several segments, turning generals into desperate
royalists who continue to live off the monarchy in order to
survive. Issues of violence in the Thai south and the
Thai-Cambodian dispute became greatly intensified in the age of
militarised politics. The coup also produced unique colour-coded
politics and created crises of legitamacy. This book is a
collection of essays that reflect developments in Thai politics in
the post-coup period.
