Citizen Politics in Checking of the State Power for Equitable Allocation of Resources Thais have their duties to check the state’s use of power. Veera Somkwamkid secretary-general of the People’s Network against Corruption Abstract According to a study conducted on Thailand’s political data only for the years 2008 and 2009, the term “political legitimacy” has been found to be used in two main instances: one is when the term is used to explain to the society that one has a legitimacy and another is when the term is used to explain that a certain individual or organization lacks political legitimacy. In addition to this data, if the writer conducts research back to the year of 1932 when changes in Thai government occurred, the writer believes that the use of the term “political legitimacy” must have existed at a certain level, more or less depending upon the political conditions during that certain period. In pursuing this line of thought, the research has come up with a number if issues: “What is political legitimacy?” “What are the indicators?” “Who is likely to use the term? (in Thai politics)”, “Should the term “political legitimacy” be used only with 163
164 KPI Congress XI governments as it has always been used?” and “What recommendations should there be to promote the body of knowledge on “political legitimacy” to Thai people in a creative way that agrees with a national democratic government under constitutional monarchy and to help push Thai politics into a better direction. With these issues in mind, the writer conducted a literature review on various literature and researches to find answers for the aforementioned issues. The writer proposes a new perspective on political legitimacy in that it should broadly cover every sector and every part of the term “politics”. “Political legitimacy” should not be the term used only to stimulate creative political conscience with governments, but should also be used with the opposition, senators, judicial organizations, statutory free organizations, media, private development organizations, academic professionals and society as individuals and other sectors raise the level of “Thai political development” so political legitimacy genuinely occurs in terms of content and process which will eventually lead to desired political stability. Finally, the writer recommends that there be a process for promoting the body of knowledge on “political legitimacy” and other important bodies of knowledge such as overall bodies of knowledge on “politics” and on “democracy” to the public, who can be divided into 2 major groups: 1. The youth studying from kindergarten to high school and those who are studying at the college level as well, and 2. The general public who has already left educational facilities since adolescence, middle age and senior adulthood. The author believes that a clear and tangible method that can effectively create the aforementioned processes in the two sectors of people is the creation of a curriculum of at least three years’ duration and the process must not be thought by memorization, but it utilize “child centers”, “citizen dialogue” and “facilitators” as core processes because these bodies of knowledge are not about memorization, but they are about asking questions and collectively finding the answers wherein the facilitator is the one who gradually takes the two sectors of public toward the goal in order for the knowledge, realization, responsibility and conscience of citizenship to occur genuinely.
