泰國塔信（Thaksin Shinawatra）政權的治理─政策與實踐

本文擬探討經由選舉產生具國會多數席次的塔信政權，似乎讓泰國民主化過程乍現曙光；然而塔信政權自崛起後並推行政策治國，卻最後仍以政變收場。這是泰國民主化過程中的「失落」，抑或以民粹政治為本的塔信政權抵觸泰國政治根本利益必遭致的「宿命」？本文試圖自政策面檢討塔信政權的治理模式與政策實踐，分析塔信政權對泰國政治變遷與民主發展的意義。

This study aims to explore the Thaksin Shinawatra government after winning the majority of elected seats in parliament and examine how it gives hope to the democratization process in Thailand. However, despite the Thaksin Shinawatra government’s rise to power and implementation of the policy governance, a military coup took place. Could this mean Thailand’s democratization process has failed? Or is it preordained fate of the populist politics-oriented Thaksin Shinawatra government that has stricken the fundamental interests of politics in Thailand? In this paper, the Thaksin Shinawatra government’s governance model and policy practice from the policy perspectives are reviewed to analyze the significance of the Thaksin Shinawatra government in terms of Thailand’s political transition and democratic development.
