Corruption has long troubled Thailand, halting economic growth and the development of democratic regimes. Attempts at fighting corruption from civil society and governmental procedure have done little to stymie corrupt exchange and have facilitated a culture of corruption across branches of Thai society. With aid from various local and international organisations, the Thai private sector appeared as the unique champion to fight corruption via the Thai Collective Action Against Corruption (Thai CAC) – a movement designed to unite Thai businesses and consolidate a foundation and framework for an actionable anti-corruption narrative.
In this episode of Collectively Combating Kleptocracy, the Thai Institute of Directors Executive Director and Thai CAC representative Pana Ratanabanangkoon joins CIPE’s ACGC Program Manager Izabela Chmielewska to discuss the mobilization, emergence, tipping points and subsequent success of the Thai CAC. Ratanabanangkoon outlines the nature of operation while exploring the specific objectives and unique characteristics of the Thai CAC. He also discusses if the Thai CAC reached its desired outcomes, as envisioned at the start of its journey, providing further discussion on what lessons have been learned and how the Thai CAC’s formulation process can be reflected in alternative contexts to promote further collective action against corruption in the private sector.
