Group Discussion 2: Establishing Political Stability for Bridging

the Inequality Gap

A stable political system is an important component for the quality of
democracy. If the political system is not stable with no thorough and fair
involvement from various sectors, there will be a tendency of extreme social
inequality, which is a major obstacle to the embedding of democracy in the society.

Group Discussion 2 is founded on the belief that a stable and consistent
political system supports various sectors to negotiate fair allocation of resources.
The discussion involves qualified persons in the field sharing their academic
knowledge and practice to be applied to the analysis of the mechanisms in the
political system, especially under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand 2017.
The analysis is to seek the view on allocating power to various sectors and
mechanisms to resolve political inequality. Policy recommendations should be made
for Thai politics for all Thai people. Mechanisms of political institutions and political
monitoring organizations, bureaucracy, political culture, political behaviors, and other
related elements will be analyzed to contribute suggestions to the political system
for bridging the inequality gap and creating justice for Thai society.

various democratic countries will result in the problem of “economic inequality”,
which occurs around the world and continues to intensify in terms of inequality
