Talk Title: The Geopolitics of Instability: the Impact of Military Coups on Thailand and Myanmar's Economic Relations with Global Powers
Date: Wednesday 25th June 2025
Time: 14:15-15:30
Venue: E0.23, Social Sciences Building

When a military stages a coup, the effects are far-reaching – not just for the country itself, but for its place in the world. This presentation examines the real-world consequences, focusing on the recent experiences of Thailand in 2014 and Myanmar in 2021, two critical cases within the dynamic context of Southeast Asia. Through a side-by-side comparison, Dr. Thawatchai Worrakittimalee, a visiting research fellow at Warwick from Khon Kaen University in Thailand, has explored how these dramatic events forced them to reconsider their ties with major global powers and how their economies have been fundamentally reshaped.
