Thailand as we knew it is now at an end
News, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 17/10/2016
» When it comes to public readership, I was taught more than 30 years ago to write invariably in the third person. The time has come for change and exception because there is no better way for me to describe what has just happened in Thailand. What was once unimaginable when I was a schoolboy eventually became inevitable, and now is undeniable in my midlife.

The man, his maps, and his people
News, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 17/10/2016
» The King rarely smiled -- that was the broad perception of many people about the late monarch, presumably gained from his appearance in news photos or video footage. "The King never smiles" is the perception of a Western writer who scripted a controversial book about him. But for millions of Thais, his solemn face did not matter. The presence of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, or even a thought about of him, brought smiles to their own faces.

Sound economic policies founder on toxic politics
News, Mohamed A El-Erian, Published on 17/10/2016

This trend must be reversed, before it structurally cripples the advanced world and sweeps up the emerging economies, too.

A King for all ages
Life, Sasiwimon Boonruang, Published on 17/10/2016
» Last Thursday was the saddest day for Thai people. It was late evening when I was driving home with my two children who were asleep in the back seat. As soon as the radio anchor announced the passing of our beloved King, tears began pouring down my face.

Building up the BRICS
Asia focus, Jim O'Neill, Published on 17/10/2016
» This year marks the 15th anniversary of the BRICS, the term I coined to refer to the major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (the latter was added in 2010). Recently, my brief tenure in the British government came to an end, following the completion of a review on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that I chaired. As I ponder what to do next, I can't help but return to the subject of the anniversary. Have those large and promising emerging economies fulfilled expectations?
