SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. The Deep Constitution: Militant Constitutional Identity and the Afterlife of Martial Law in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:In Thailand\, since the adoption of the widely-celebrated 1997 Constitution\, all elected governments have been overthrown by the Constitutional Court\, the military\, or both in the name of democracy. By understanding the 1997 Constitution as a fully liberal-democratic constitution breaking with the country’s military past\, most of the academic literature overlooked the resilient continuities and interdependence between military and civilian rule that form\, under the patronage of the king\, the core of Thailand’s constitutional order. Using historical institutional analysis\, this paper documents the inner workings of the Thai Deep Constitution\, defined as the legal-operational playbook of Thai democracy’s tutelary powers (the “Deep State”) linked to its Constitutional Identity defined as “Democracy with the King as Head of State.”\n   \nBeyond the Thai case study\, this paper argues that the constitutional model for any tutelary democracy aims to enshrine\, in the name of militant democracy\, veto powers of the army and the judiciary over electoral politics in the unamendable part of the constitution\, conceptualized as the Deep Constitution.\n   \nEugénie Mérieau is currently a visiting postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Global Law and Policy\, Harvard Law School. Prior to this\, she held academic positions at Sciences Po (France)\, the University of Göttingen (Germany) and Thammasat University (Thailand). Fluent in Thai\, she worked for four years at the King Prajadhipok's Institute under the Thai Parliament as a full-time researcher. Her most recent publications on Thailand have appeared in Asian Journal of Comparative Law\, Journal of Contemporary Asia\, Southeast Asian Affairs\, Buddhism\, Law and Society\, along more popular venues such as The Atlantic or the New York Times. Her first English-language monograph is forthcoming in 2020 with Hart Publishing under the title \"Constitutional Bricolage : Thailand's Sacred King versus the Rule of Law\".\n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Graduate Student Workshop: Scaling Time and Space
DESCRIPTION:How do fluctuations in scale impact the way we look at the past? Ruth Mostern’s research spans millennia and examines how local practices and political agendas influenced the ecology of the Yellow River. This panel will explore the ways in which spaces are created\, managed\, and contested over time. Shifting between scales\, speakers will discuss the interconnections and conflicts between the local and the universal\, with case studies ranging from the localized spaces of the workroom and kitchen to the expanses of empire and imagined nationhood. \n\nFeaturing: \n\nErin Johnson (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nShohei Kawamata (Graduate Student\, International and Regional Studies\, University of Michigan)\nFusheng Luo (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nJian Zhang (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nAlexander Clayton (chair\; Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nRuth Mostern (respondent\; Associate Professor\, History\, University of Pittsburgh) \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
