PGS Batch #1 Tewan Luangtana-Anan

Tewan Luangtana-Anan has always been deeply curious about the world and committed to broadening his understanding beyond a single discipline. Although he initially intended to pursue a degree in business, he chose to join the Politics and Global Studies (PGS) Program in order to gain a more comprehensive perspective on global affairs. During his time in PGS, Tewan developed a strong interest in topics such as Political Economy, Economic National Interest, and Global Political Economy. These topics played a significant role in shaping his analytical thinking and deepening his understanding of the complex relationship between politics and business in the global arena. His academic experience at Chulalongkorn University and the University of Queensland further strengthened his interdisciplinary foundation and global outlook. This background has supported his progression to the Master of International Business program at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, People’s Republic of China, where he continues to build on his academic and professional interests.

“PGS allowed me to understand the world in ways I had not initially expected. Topics like Political Economy and Global Political Economy changed how I see the relationship between business and global affairs. The program helped me build a strong foundation and broaden my perspective, which prepared me well for my next academic step”
