This brief discusses how the 2014 military coup in Thailand could be regarded as an opportunity to reform the country's political framework. The author argues that the military will only succeed in developing a more democratic and legitimate political system if it appoints a new interim prime minister as swiftly as possible, acts in a non-partisan way and institutes a representative body to craft a more legitimate democratic political framework that will eventually be approved by the Thai body politic.
