In recent decades, intergovernmentalisation and government externalisation have dramatically increased, resulting in governments adapting to operate effectively within their systems. Networks and collaboration have become essential to the policy process and analysis. Policy analysts thus continuously create and employ various frameworks to extract knowledge from practices. This chapter explores the evolution of collaboration and networks concerning policy analysis in Thailand. It examines the derivation stages of two concepts: policy network and collaboration in Thailand. It traces the development of collaboration and network analysis in the country with examples from related studies that illustrate the role of different actors in policy analysis within an interactive policy ecosystem. It also discusses critiques and trends of collaboration and network analysis in Thailand, involving three issues: bridging collaboration and network analysis; the legitimisation of government actions through network and collaboration; and multisector network building with social capital and local knowledge.
