Emerging Ideology of Commercial State in Thailand

The Beacon: Journal for Studying Ideologies and Mental Dimensions, 2021

In the 2017 Constitution of Kingdom of Thailand there was a call to create a National Strategy of the country’s development. The 20-year National Strategy was adopted in October 2018 by the National Council for Peace and Order. A major part of this strategy deals with the problem of Thai provinces’ separatist movements and increasing Bangkok’s political and social control. To achieve these goals, a new ideology of “commercial nation” was created that contrasts with the more traditional “community democracy” approach. While the ideology of commercial state may be a useful vehicle for urbanising Thai provinces in the future, conquering separatist trends and articulating new priorities for the Thai population, it is still pure ideology and it cannot be applied practically in the form in which it was formulated. However, the “commercial state” ideology may be an instructive example of new techniques for social unifying people in developing countries.

构建白领类服务离岸外移的模型——从比较优势理论到贸易和FDI的新理论

2013

笔者一向认为贸易理论由一系列模型构成[ 作者的这一观点得自Tjalling Koopmans(1957)的“Three Essays on the State of Economic Science(三篇关于经济科学状况的文章)”,该文献在今日仍颇具价值。Koopman使用了“模型序列(sequence of models)”的术语。]。由于贸易背后存在众多的潜在原因和动机,也许最富有成效的研究方法是采用一系列模型且每次只取其中若干加以分析,而非建立一个无所不包的试图囊括贸易的所有可能成因模型。另外一种极端的方法则要求为每一个行业、每一对贸易伙伴国甚至每一个跨国公司都专门造一个模型。这时,理论变成了案例分析,我们无法得到任何具有一般性的结论。科学合理的目标也许应该是一套经过谨慎选择且数量有限的模型,其中元素的个数介于1和1000之间。译者单位:厦门大学国际经济与贸易系(361005
