Abstract Sufficiency Economy is a local Thai alternative development paradigm, which has been enshrined in the Thai constitutions since 2006 and plays a central role in Thai political discourse since the Asian Crisis in 1997. However, the conflict between different visions of development was drawn into an intra-elite struggle, in the course of which formerly emancipatory development alternatives were co-opted into a highly authoritarian project. Today, it serves as one of the ideological foundations of the military regime, which came to power in a coup d’état in 2014. The character of this regime, however, goes beyond what Ziai (2004) calls ‘enlightened authoritarianism’. It is reminiscent of fascist regimes in Europe in the 1930s. Rather than treating the concept of Sufficiency Economy as such as an authoritarian or suppressive concept, it will be argued that the authoritarian character is a result of a three-step process of politicisation which has unfolded during the last two decades.

替代发展概念及其政治嵌入：以泰国的自给经济为例

摘要自给自足经济是泰国当地的替代发展范式，自2006年以来已载入泰国宪法，自1997年亚洲危机以来在泰国的政治话语中起着核心作用。但是，不同发展观之间的冲突被深深吸引。精英内部斗争，在此过程中，以前的解放性发展选择被选入高度专制的项目。如今，它已成为军事政权的意识形态基础之一，该政权于2014年发动政变上台。然而，该政权的特征已超越Ziai（2004）所称的“开明的专制主义”。它让人想起1930年代欧洲的法西斯政权。与其将诸如“专制主义”或“抑制主义”之类的自给自足的经济概念视为现实，
