My PhD dissertation examined Thai Constitutionalism (legal doctrines, texts, case-law, and overall ‘constitutional culture’) in a historical and comparative perspective, deconstructing the bricolage of Thailand’s concept and practice of royal sovereignty. In 2018, the original dissertation was awarded the “Prix de l’Institut Varenne” (Democratization/Comparative Constitutional Law) and “Prix Lévy-Ullmann” (Law & Politics) of the Universities of Paris.
Initially written in the French language, it was published or is currently under publication in French, English and Thai as shown below :
