Nicholas Farrelly, Peter Jackson, Andrew Walker and Peter Warr take part in Thailand on the Verge, a forum at The Australian National University on Wednesday 21 April 2010. For more Thai politics analysis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2liXe3dIYIA

Thailand is on the verge: of crisis, of a different future, of the reconsolidation of the old order. Borders open and then rapidly contract. There is unending insurgency and counterinsurgency in southern Thailand. Red and yellow shirt protestors are in the streets. The question of royal succession looms. Violence against migrants grows. Human rights are sliding by the wayside. Law is constantly dismembered and redefined.

The event was introduced by Professor Paul Hutchcroft and moderated by Dr Tyrell Haberkorn.

A podcast of the full forum is available at http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/podcasts/20100421_Thailand-on-the-verge.mp3

    He was wrong about the Head-band

    im pretty sure he can't read Thai

    It actually said "Not-hired, come by heart" (ไม่ต้องจ้าง กูมาเอง)

    not "มึงทำอะไรก็ถู กูทำอะไรก็ผิด"

  • the forum is very interesting..

  • Malays are not so into politics...

  • pretty cool!

  • Very superficial. 

  • Now our country, "thailand". No, our government is very bad. Please see the failure of this government. Thank you.

    **me so very bad to Eng, if haven't 15 yearold

  • What really is democracy? What really is dictatorship? Mostly Thai people misunderstand.

  • Good job

  • @keano455 Why don't you get up and talk or post a video responding to your thoughts.

  • Help yourselves before helping others. We don't need your suggestions. You said you are from the University but you did research based on Google?. What kind of research is that? Do you know that most of Thai people are poor. Some even never touch the computer. Many cannot read English. So how can you assume some information from weak evidence like that?

    And Bangkok is not Thailand. If you said you were in Bangkok then you assume that Oh, I know Thailand very well. You are totally wrong.
