Úıı Abstract Dynamics of Thai Politics Borwornsak Uwanno Associate Fellow of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, The Royal Institute, Thailand The dynamics of Thai politics is determined by two important factors: the formal structure set by the Constitution and the informal structure shaped by the political culture which has been influenced by the economic and social structure. Reform that addresses only at the formal structure would encounter the same problem as found in the 1997 Constitution. The challenge , therefore , is whether we can concurrently reform both formal and informal structures in order to achieve the balance in the relations among the four constituent groups of the Thai society and ensure sustained stability and efficiency for the Thai politics. Key words : Thai politics , constitution , four constituent groups
