泰国:2011～2012年回顾与展望

2011年7月,泰国提前举行大选,为泰党赢得选举并联合小党派组建联合政府。前总理他信的妹妹、为泰党候选人英拉·西那瓦当选泰国第28任总理,也是泰国历史上首位女总理。由于特大洪灾的影响,2011年泰国经济增长速度低于预期,新政府执政能力也经受考验。外交方面,泰柬边境冲突成为泰国本年度重要的外交事件,但两国关系随着英拉政府上台而开始出现缓和。

Thailand:Retrospect of 2011and Prospect of 2012

Thailand’s national parliamentary election was held ahead of regular schedule in July 2011. A 53% majority was favored to the Pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai Party that enables its establishment of a coalition government with small parties. Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin’s young sister, became the 28th Prime Minister of Thailand as well as the first female PM in the history of the country. However, the economic increase during 2011 was lower than expected and the administration of the new government was challenged, due to Thailand’s worst floods. In terms of foreign relations, the territorial disputes with Cambodia became an important foreign affair, while it showed a tendency of less tension between the two countries after Yingluck coming into power.
