Rumana Bukht, Richard Heeks

Research output: Preprint/Working paperWorking paper

Abstract

Level of development of digital economy policy and governance varies widely within countries of the global South. One country in which it has been significantly developed is Thailand, which has both dedicated policies and governance structures for the digital economy. This paper provides a largely descriptive overview of these. It reviews the current Digital Economy Plan and also some of its predecessor plans and policies. It explains the structural underpinning seen in recent creation of a new Ministry of Digital Economy and Society; and reviews the content of planned legislative changes. Following a short review of specific issues with digital infrastructure, the paper provides a brief analytical commentary.
