Description

Virtual Roundtable #19 will be based on the book “Constitutional Bricolage: Thailand’s Sacred Monarchy vs. The Rule of Law” by Eugénie Mérieau (Hart, 2021).

The Panel will discuss the book’s analysis of the unique constitutional system in operation in Thailand as a continuous process of bricolage between various Western constitutional models and Buddhist doctrines of Kingship and its investigation of the hybridised semi-authoritarian, semi-liberal monarchy that exists in Thailand.

Speakers:

• Dr Dian Shah, National University of Singapore (Moderator)
• Dr Eugenie Merieau, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Author)
• Professor Andrew Harding, National University of Singapore
• Professor Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago
• Dr Khemthong Tonsakulrungruang, Chulalongkorn University
• Professor Thongchai Winichakul, University of Wisconsin–Madison
