Youth Charter on Youth Participation in Thailand’s Social Protection System

Next Steps to Advance Social Justice and Bring About Opportunities for Country Prosperity

The final output from the project “Youth Deliberation Hackathon: Shaping Their Role in Social Protection Systems” in the format of a Youth Charter is now here, under the cooperation between the Faculty of Political Science of Thammasat University and KAS Thailand. The Charter, compiled from the pitched ideas and recommendations presented and discussed in the two-day hackathon activity in November 2025, portrayed collective demands and proposals that synthesise agenda priorities, prototype solutions, and pathways for embedding youth voices across Thailand’s welfare governance system. It also frames youth’s contributions within a broader deliberative system, aligning with theory on systemic deliberative democracy while offering practical insights for reforming Thailand’s participatory governance.

Navigating the Nexus

European and Southeast Asian Views on Current Geopolitical Shifts amid Great Power Rivalries

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Office Thailand, in cooperation with the Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration at Chiang Mai University, hosted a roundtable discussion titled "Navigating the Nexus: European and Southeast Asian Views on Current Geopolitical Shifts amid Great Power Rivalries." This event took place at the Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration, Chiang Mai University, on August 7, 2024. The roundtable explored the relationship between the EU and the Mekong Subregion across multiple dimensions. The Mekong Subregion in Southeast Asia has emerged as a significant focal point in global geopolitics, heavily influenced by international political dynamics and major power rivalries. As strategic interests in the region have intensified, the EU has navigated this complex landscape, balancing economic competition with cooperation to enhance its presence in Southeast Asia and its subregions. The discussion addressed three critical questions that shaped the EU's engagement in the Mekong Subregion and Southeast Asia's response to the increasing interest. These key topics included 1) strategic partnerships and opportunities for cooperation, 2) trade cooperation and economic security, and 3) future scenarios with policy recommendations. The dialogue featured perspectives from both Thailand and the EU, encompassing views from government, community-based organizations, and academia.
