Politic have no eternal allies, and have not perpetual enemies

Abstract

The implementation of political policies is important for every country. Seeking political allies is one way to ensure a country's stability, strength, and sustainability. This article aims to study past and present conflicts, and analyze potential future conflicts, by researching relevant documents, textbooks, and online media.
The study found that the increasing competition for global influence among powerful countries may force Thailand to take sides. Additionally, Thailand faces internal and external issues such as domestic peace and territorial disputes with neighboring countries. Therefore, conflicts similar to those in the past and present may continue to occur. In order to address these challenges, Thailand should develop appropriate political policies to maintain its current stability. For example, 7 possible solutions are: 1) The right to self-defense according to Article 51 of the UN Charter. 2) Adherence to the principles of peaceful coexistence and cooperation in the Southeast Asian region. 3) Rejection of any claims that islands, reefs, or overlapping areas belong to other countries. 4) Compliance with the theory of balance of power. 5) Non-acceptance of foreign countries, international organizations, or foreign forces entering the country. 6) Development of national defense capabilities based on self-reliance. 7) Promotion of understanding of national identity and civic duties, as well as fostering a culture of discipline among the Thai people.
