“…The determinants can be divided into internal and external ones. Internal determinants include inter alia, identity and nation-building history, elite perception, threat perception, leadership turnover, and domestic political system (Phuangkasem, 1980;Phuangkasem, 1984;Suthiwart-Narueput, 1980;Viraphol, 1985;Wattanayagorn, 1998;Yensabai, 2019), whereas external determinants include constantly changing regional balance of power, coupled with political-economic dynamics in Thailand's near abroad (Chambers & Bunyavejchewin, 2021;Dhiravegin, 1974;Sirichote, 1986;Viraphol, 1982).…”

Despite applying various theoretical lenses, methodological diversity is less observed in the literature on Thai foreign policy. Quantitative analysis of Thailand's international relations is scarce, which leads to a methodological gap. This study aims to fill this gap by addressing the simple yet essential question: is regime type (i.e., dictatorship or democracy) related to Thailand's foreign policy position? Regime type is operationalized by the Bjørnskov-Rode regime data and Thailand's international position by the (foreign policy) similarity score of the Thailand-United States dyad using Cohen's kappa (κ) statistics. The κ score can serve as a measurement of Thailand's satisfaction level with the American world order, postulating its international alignment. Using correlation, cross-tabulation, and chi-square analyses, we identified a negative significant relationship between regime type and the κ score for the Thailand-United States dyad during the period 1950-2020. That is, democracy in Thailand is related to its low satisfaction level with the United States. This satisfaction level with the United States-led international order does not necessarily indicate that Bangkok would closely align with Beijing. Methodological limitations render the results tentative, and further quantitative research on Thai foreign policy is required.
