Aim Sinpeng focuses on the people behind popular, large-scale anti-democratic movements that helped bring down democracy in 2006 and 2014 in Thailand. The yellow shirts (PAD--People's Alliance for Democracy) that are the focus of the book are anti-democratic movements grown out of democratic periods in Thailand, but became the catalyst for the country's democratic breakdown. Why, when, and how supporters of these movements mobilize offline and online to bring down democracy are some of the key questions that Sinpeng answers. While the book primarily uses a qualitative methodological approach, it also uses several quantitative tools to analyze social media data in the later chapters. This is also one of the few studies in the field of regime transition that focuses on anti-democratic mobilization and takes the role of social media seriously. 410 0$aWeiser Center for Emerging Democracies series. 606 $aDemocracy$zThailand 607 $aThailand$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a322.4/209593 700 $aSinpeng$b Aim$f1983-$0920562 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494570103321 996 $aOpposing democracy in the digital age$92064724 997 $aUNINA
