Politics and the Rule of Law in Thailand - Prof Duncan McCargo

Interview with event speaker, Prof Duncan McCargo (Professor of Southeast Asian Politics, University of Leads)

Prof McCargo analyses the prospects for the 2011 elections in Thailand, including the role of the military and the monarchical 'network' therein. Could the Democrat Party win power through elections? Could 'pro-Thaksin' parties regain the momentum to win a decisive victory at the polls? Or could other players - maverick coalition-makers or fledgling parties -- play a crucial role?
