Thailand in 1992: in search of a democratic order
Article Abstract:
Nineteen ninety two introduced a new political order in Thailand. The general elections held in Sep, 1992 that instituted Democrat Party leader Chuan Leekpai to power also marked the end of the military regime in the country. However, Thai economy remains at its fragile state as strained trade relations with the US, drought in the coming dry season and development of a mass transit sytem in Bangkok could weaken government stability. Regional security also continues to be a primary problem for Thailand. Evidently, the path towards democratization may prove to be difficult.
