Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Security of private property rights — formal recognition, expropriation risk, titling systems.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
In May 2007 Thailand's Constitutional Tribunal — convened under the post-coup interim charter — dissolved the Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party founded by Thaksin Shinawatra and barred 111 of its executive members from politics for five years for electoral fraud connected to the 2006 election. The ruling formalised the rollback of TRT's legislative dominance and shaped the post-coup constitutional order under the Surayud government.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
