Yingluck Shinawatra held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.
The record lists Yingluck Shinawatra as Prime Minister of Thailand from 2011 to 2014.
Yingluck Shinawatra was born at San Kamphaeng in 1967. Her recorded nationality is Thailand. She was educated at Chiang Mai University and Kentucky State University.
Modern political life is continuous and public: careers are made and unmade at a speed that leaves little room between decision and verdict.
The offices held were Prime Minister of Thailand (2011–2014), Minister of Defence of Thailand (2013–2014) and Member of the House of Representatives of Thailand (2011–2013).
Her political affiliation is recorded as Pheu Thai Party.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
Formal honours included the Grand Cordon of the Order of the White Elephant (2012), Grand Cordon of the Order of the Crown of Thailand (2012) and Boy Scout Citation Medal of Vajira (2010).
That the career was made in Thailand is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Yingluck Shinawatra's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
