Democracy in Myanmar was only 5 years old, it had to end in the early morning of February 1, 2021, another coup seized power. Because the 2008 constitution was drafted by the Myanmar military government Open the box to be able to do so On the occasion of the announcement of the state of emergency of “Min Aung Hye”, the commander-in-chief Claiming to maintain the security of the state Of the latest electoral corruption of November 2020
Outstanding news
The case of politics in Myanmar and Thailand Are there similarities or differences? Of the aftermath of the written military constitution Between the Constitution of Myanmar in 2008 and that of Thailand in 2017 “Adjunct Professor Dr. Yuthaporn Isarachai” Faculty of Political Science Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University Clearly stated to “The news team criticized the issue of Thairath Online” that the structure of the Thai Constitution of 2017 and the Constitution of Myanmar of 2008 are due to the productivity of “Knock” All for the case of Thailand After the 2014 coup, it was found that the provisional constitution The constitutional framework for 2017 has been established, which includes favorable rules for the NCPO to become a democracy, for example, 250 senators, provided for in the provisions transitional periods of the first 5 years, they can vote for the Prime Minister. Include sitting positions in accordance with the National Strategy and Reform Plan

While Myanmar’s 2008 constitution also comes from the military. Through a longer seizure of power than Thailand Since the first coup in 1962, it has never been a democracy. And then governed by the Council for the Restoration of State Law and Order, or Slough, until 1997 it became the Council for Peace and National Development. O SPDC It was the takeover of power by the military as before. Causing concentration in Myanmar’s constitution Different from Thai Myanmar has a transitional arrangement to inherit the power of the armed forces. To determine the seat in the House, 25% must belong to the military. From the appointment by the commander in chief OR solving problems with minorities, border issues or national security. Must belong to the army
In addition, the Constitution of Myanmar also empowered the military Able to seize power through the constitution If there is a state of irregularity Able to attract the executive, legislative and judicial power to the commander-in-chief Able to declare a state of emergency for at least 1 year or can continue It can be seen that the power of Myanmar’s military constitution is very high and believe that later “Min Aung Hlaing” Take the power to strike. It won’t extend the emergency declaration for long. Because it will affect the economy of the Myanmar army. And natural resources
As for the Thai constitution of 2017, power is shared between political parties. Through electoral mechanisms Through the eccentric system of choice of formulas And the Senate voted for the Prime Minister With political parties But the constitution of Myanmar was written The president is prohibited from marrying a foreigner. This is clearly a deprivation. “Aung San Suu Kyi” And in the past, the army and Suu Kyi have dealt with the minority that is a security problem. Through the power struggle between Suu Kyi’s NLD party With the USDP of the military Who cannot share power May have to amend the constitution Before the elections The mechanism should be designed to allow the military to gain greater control . Especially minority problems that are chronic for a long time. Therefore it needs a disciplined democracy. And I want politics under the leadership of the military. It may be the background of this coup.
Also, Suu Kyi’s NLD party received the election vote in November 2020 overwhelmingly. USDP’s military party Get fewer seats in the House of Commons, giving Myanmar’s military a chance to settle power Less often AND affect Suu Kyi’s party interests With the military used to depend on each other to change Even in the past, the Myanmar army Always trying to transfer power But the situation was unfavorable Until finally turning into a turning point with a coup
“This coup On the interests in which the Myanmar army is involved Reflecting a multidimensional image Between the democratic side and the military Between minority and army And the international dimension of the attitude of each country like Singapore, Malaysia, showing concern And you will see the role between China and the United States, especially China, which went into trade to establish a military base in Myanmar. Thailand and Cambodia Goes well with China Therefore, it does not get involved in Myanmar business. Or indonesia Even as a model of democracy in the ASEAN region It is not yet clear to show an attitude on this matter “
From what happened in Myanmar It shows the weakness of democracy AND the exhaustion of individuals like Aung San Suu Kyi and former student leader. Who joined the NLD party Who is now older AND open society in Myanmar May make the new generation not have the strength to move, making the five years that Myanmar was a democracy, especially in 2015, the longest democratic. It can be hard to go back
Or until democracy took a long time to “Coup in Myanmar” Last time you can see the future “Aung San Suu Kyi” and the NLD. Building a big mafia in Myanmar But you can’t stagnate Making Suzy’s future You can end up with old age and fatigue. He has also been heavily criticized for the Rohingya issue, as well as “Min Aung Hlaing” as the Rohingya assassin in Rakhine State in 2019, possibly Myanmar’s next dictatorial leader.
