72Cultural Diversity, Solidarity Economy,and Participatory Sustainability Governance:Indigenous Identity Building in Japan and TaiwanProf. Ching-Ping Tang, Ph.D.College of Social Sciences,National Chengchi University AbstractMany countries have adopted a variety of revitalization policies to pursue sustainable development in rural areas facing hollowing out and associated socioeconomic problems. Many single-dimensional policies have been ineffective or triggered unexpected thorny issues, leading to unintended consequences. Recent sustainability governance literature takes a complex systems perspective to indicate possible dynamics among different systems or subsystems. A corollary of this understanding is to identify possible cascading effects across various aspects of social phenomena and to propose a policy that presses on the leverage point to facilitate a coordinated, full-course system transition. By examining the cases of the Ainu settlement in Hokkaido, Japan, and the Atayal’s in Taiwan, this research demonstrates the dilemma of earlier economic promotion policies for indigenous peoples in rural areas. While indigenous cultural heritages could easily be transferred to assets for ethno-tourism, policies promoting such convenient adoption tend to be less sustainable. On the one hand, easy money from the tourism service sector would deprive local interests of the arduous effort required to inherit and innovate traditional handcrafts. On the other hand, both the service and manufacturing sectors could easily be nontribal providers with better skills and more capital in the capitalist system. In the long run, the indigenous people will not only be less competitive in the tourism market but also lose their control over their tangible and intangible heritages.The key, therefore, is to facilitate the transition of indigeneity toward modernity by linking traditional values to modern ones, introducing viable business models to survive modern economic conditions, and identifying respectful niches for their existence. The findings suggest that the leverage point lies in recognition policies that ensure cultural diversity, which uphold modern values of indigenous identity and return interpretation rights to the original culture owners. This contrast demonstrates the less-noticed dynamics of democracy, cultural diversity, and sustainable development. On the theoretical level, this research suggests that democratic transition might synergize with the pursuit of sustainable development goals such as social justice, economic betterment, and ecological conservation.

73From Beneficiaries to Accountability FrontlinersA Campaign of the Poor to Have Voice inthe Conditional Cash Transfer Program in the PhilippinesMr. Francis IsaacSchool of Arts, Sciences, and Teacher Education,San Beda College AlabangAbstractOne of the major challenges in the field of transparency, participation and accountability (TPA) is the question of scale—of how to broaden and multiply the forces advancing accountability to make governments more responsive and democratic. One way is to turn beneficiaries of government programs into accountability frontliners. First coined by Joy Aceron, the term accountability frontliners refer to citizens who are “engaged in frontline accountability work, being physically at the front to check on services delivered by the government, secure citizen feedback, and access public information” (2021). They are who actively ensure that public services are delivered effectively and efficiently and that the exercise of power of government officials serves the common good. This involves mobilizing beneficiaries at the frontlines of service delivery and program implementation to make governments responsive and accountable—helping ensure that duty-bearers perform their mandate while being answerable to the people. Because of their actions, accountability frontliners could possibly “face the threat of repression and assault from authorities by simply speaking truth to power” (Aceron and Santos 2025: 6).This proposed paper intends to present the multi-level organizing, monitoring and advocacy strategy that was employed by the Samahan ng Nagkakaisang Pamilya ng Pantawid (SNPP or Association of United CCT Families)—a 174,000-strong social organization composed of beneficiaries of the Philippines’ conditional cash transfer program (CCT) called Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). It is a story that shows an approach that succeeded in building an autonomous, representative mass membership organization that can exercise countervailing power and hold the government accountable, addressing the question of scale. The paper answers the following question: How did the beneficiaries of the conditional cash transfer program in the Philippines sustain their capacity for self-organization to push back against the government’s attempt to weaken their program?To answer the above question, the proposed study will utilize Jonathan Fox’s concept of vertical integration, which refers to the “systematic coordination of policy monitoring and advocacy between diverse levels of civil society, from local to state, national, and international arenas” (2001: 617).

74Opportunities and Potential of Chiang Khongas a Hub for Fruit Exporting to China afterthe Operation of the Kunming–Vientiane RailwayAsst. Prof. Sivarin Lertpusit, Ph.D.College of Interdisciplinary Studies,Thammasat UniversityAbstractThis paper examines the potential of Chiang Khong as a strategic logistical center for fruit export from Thailand to China and analyses the impact of operating the Kunming-Vientiane railway in 2021 on the R3A logistic route, passing through Chiang Khong customs. Qualitative research was employed, including document analysis, field trip, and interviews with relevant agency staffs. Results: 1) opening the Vientiane-southern China railway was a turning point for growth of cross-border freight transport between China and Mekong River countries. It also impacted the logistics system of Thailand, especially at the Nong Khai checkpoint, which gained in significance; 2) The Thai and Chinese governments have policies and goals for using the rail system to export fruits that were previously transported by ship and road (R3A and R12); and 3) the Chiang Khong checkpoint is expected to remain an important land border crossing for fruit exports in the future due to Thailand and Laos expanding infrastructure, as well as clear regulations, goods transportation procedures, and transportation cost and time limits.

75Thailand's Post-Election Political Landscape (February 2026):Risks of Democratic Regression in the Post-Reform EraAssoc. Prof. Sustarum Thammaboosadee, Ph.D.College of Interdisciplinary Studies,Thammasat UniversityAbstractThe February 2026 general election represents a critical juncture for Thai democracy. However, this article identifies significant risks of democratic regression despite apparent political transformation. Drawing on comparative political analysis and welfare state theory, we examine three dimensions posing substantial challenges to democratic deepening: the instrumentalization of right-wing nationalism, the hegemony of technocratic governance, and the constraining effects of fiscal austerity ideology.First, right-wing nationalist discourse has emerged as a mechanism for subverting democratic agendas. Germany's SPD during the 2015-2021 refugee crisis demonstrates that progressive parties attempting strategic accommodation with right-wing frames around security and cultural purity typically suffer electoral losses from both core constituencies and fail to capture moderate voters (Rooduijn et al., 2017). In Thailand, escalating nationalist rhetoric deflecting welfare and democratic reform constitutes a warning sign. Following Blyth (2013), we must distinguish left economic nationalism—emphasizing sovereignty and workingclass protection—from right cultural nationalism centered on exclusion. The former offers viable counter-hegemonic strategy; accommodation to the latter proves politically fatal.Second, excessive reliance on technocratic governance risks severing connections between representatives and grassroots constituencies. Macron's La République En Marche exemplifies this pathology: top-down expert mobilization proved ephemeral when confronted with Yellow Vest grievances. For Thailand, where tertiary education rates remain below 20%, technocratic discourse may alienate the majority. Foucauldian analysis reveals how neoliberal rationality depoliticizes fundamental conflicts over power and resources. Following Pitkin (1967), robust democracy requires both technical expertise and authentic descriptive representation.Third, fiscal austerity ideology fundamentally constrains progressive policy space. As Blyth (2013) demonstrates, austerity represents ideological construction serving elite interests through redistributing burdens from capital to labor. Portugal's anti-austerity government (2015-2019) achieved 2.5% annual growth while expanding welfare, contradicting orthodox prescriptions. Thailand's CARE pension formula—supported by 77.93% of insured persons—demonstrates popular demand for ambitious redistributive policy despite bureaucratic resistance invoking fiscal sustainability. This reveals how austerity discourse obstructs democratically-supported reforms.If Thailand's post-2026 landscape becomes dominated by right-wing nationalist framing, technocratic politics disconnected from grassroots, and austerity ideology constraining alternatives, democracy may enter substantive regression despite procedurally free elections. Following Habermas (1975), authentic democracy requires open public spheres for deliberating

76genuine alternatives, representatives maintaining organic connections with citizens, and courage to propose transformative change. The February 2026 election will test whether Thailand's political actors can transcend these pathologies or succumb to patterns undermining democratic projects elsewhere. Thai citizens deserve authentic alternatives rather than iterations of ancien régime arrangements.Keywords: Democratic regression, technocratic governance, fiscal austerity, nationalism, Thailand, comparative politics, welfare state

77Strategizing Human Security andSustainable Development:How Taiwan's NSP Works?Kate Hsiang HanProf. Alan Hao Yang, Ph.D.Institute of International Relations,National Chengchi UniversityAbstractSince 2000, human security has attracted increasing attention across various sectors. Within the United Nations framework, global development efforts have shifted from the promotion of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the SDG agenda approaches its conclusion in 2030, the international community—particularly the Indo-Pacific region—will face the need to formulate new development objectives. This study argues that such objectives will remain closely linked to human security, the safeguarding of human well-being, and sustainable development.Although Taiwan is not recognized as a member state of the United Nations, its efforts and contributions to advancing human security, sustainable development, and various initiatives promoting good governance are widely acknowledged. This article examines how Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy since 2016 has contributed to the promotion of human security and sustainable development, and further analyzes the changes and enhancements introduced under President Lai Ching-te’s administration through the “New Southbound Policy Plus.” Based on this analysis, the article also explores future prospects for cooperation between the New Southbound Policy, Thailand, and Southeast Asia
