SPD Program is delighted to congratulate our fourth-year student Hana Shirai on presenting her research at The 6th SEASIA Biennial Conference 2026, Forging Southeast Asia’s Futures, held from 8–10 July 2026 at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Hana presented her paper entitled “Intra-Group Structure and Developmental Divergence in Thailand’s OTOP System: Implications for More Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth.” Her research examines the dynamics of Thailand’s One Tambon One Product (OTOP) system and explores how differences in organizational structures and development trajectories influence local economic outcomes.
The research is a part of final year project for SPD 451 Research for Social Development
