?:abstract
  • Thailand so far has curbed the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, but it faces a severe economic shock that will deepen existing inequalities and is likely to fan smoldering political tensions The economic strategy that lifted Thailand to upper middle-income status by 2011 has faltered over the past decade, leading to severe inequality and rising poverty, and the pandemic has now slowed the growth model\'s twin engines - exports and tourism Already facing questions about its legitimacy following a 2019 election marred by irregularities, the military-backed Thai government will be hard pressed to meet the needs of a population facing massive unemployment, loss of income and rising debt The fundamental problem is political: the reforms necessary to upgrade Thailand\'s economy run counter to the interests of the country\'s elite What is needed is a new constitution that allows for articulation of popular interests through elected representatives and accountable institutions The coronavirus, auguring the biggest economic shock since the 1997-1998 financial crisis, could hasten a social, economic and political reckoning
