พลวัตทางความคิดเชิงอุดมการณ์ทางการเมืองไทยหลังการเลือกตั้ง พ.ศ. 2562: มุมมองคนรุ่นใหม่กับการลดความขัดแย้งทางการเมือง

Abstract

This study aimed to study the dynamics of Thai political ideologies following the general election in 2019 and to understand the viewpoints of the younger generation towards the reduction of political conflict. The research method is qualitative via in-depth interviews with key informants such as politicians, scholars, the leaders of political movements, and the younger generation. The study found that, firstly, the dynamics of Thai political ideologies following the 2019 general election was a legacy from the coup d’état in 2014. People have had no rights, freedom of expression, or political representation throughout the five years that the National Council for Peace and Order were in power. Thai ideologies can be divided into two wings from 2019 to 2022, which are authoritarianism and democratism. Secondly, from the younger generation’s perspectives towards the reduction of political conflict, the conflict has long been established since the 2005 election, along with the coup d’états, which were not the solutions for conflict, in 2006 and 2014. To reduce political disputes, it is significant to utilise the long-standing legal tools by encouraging the usage of amnesty and purge bills or establishing organisations to eliminate conflicts and unravel any issues in the future.
