    Moscow can offer more

    News, Editorial, Published on 24/05/2016

    » It is a positive development that Russia has pledged closer cooperation in the anti-drug, anti-terrorism problems. However, the truth is that Moscow and Bangkok have little to offer each other in these areas. Information sharing and frequent contacts are always welcome. But Thailand's huge problems of drug abuse and trafficking are regional, and almost never touch Russia, even indirectly.

    Obama must be realistic

    News, Editorial, Published on 25/05/2016

    » US President Barack Obama is in Asia once again. His 10th trip takes him to Vietnam and, later this week, to Japan. The focus of the US leader is to continue his agonisingly slow "pivot" to Asia of US security policy. There is far more on the agenda than upgrading Vietnam ties.

    Thailand's reversal of  fortune with Vietnam

    News, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 27/05/2016

    » First, it was Myanmar that took over the democratic space which Thailand used to occupy. Now, it is Vietnam that has eclipsed Thailand as a major regional player in regional trade and geopolitics. It is not a lot of fun for Thais to be counting the costs of their country's sagging political fortunes and sliding economic prospects but doing so is necessary to remind Thailand's ruling generals that we are in bad shape and that they are not quite up to scratch in coming up with what we want to do and where we need to go.

    The free market reality isn't always the answer

    News, Published on 02/05/2016

    » Neoliberalism is a common word in Europe that is slowly making its way across the Atlantic.
