Are martial law, BBL and CPP peace talks good for business?

THAILAND is under martial law. France has been in a state of emergency for many months now. The UK has declared a similar situation with Prime Minister Theresa May vowing to rip human rights laws if necessary against terrorists. Trump wants to ban six Muslim states that harbor or support terrorism (note that there are many more Muslim-majority countries in the world who are not included in this ban, which the “liberals” don’t mention). Iraq is painstakingly recapturing its lost territories. Syria is in shambles. Everywhere, countries are looking for ways to defeat this militant brand of Islam that also targets their own Muslim brothers who are non-believers in radicalism.

Common sense tells us that businesses need peace and order and good laws that are adhered to, and a functioning judicial system. Does martial law create the conditions needed for business? Thailand’s martial law, France’s state of emergency are welcomed by the people and have been good for business, while strong rule in other countries have been disastrous which shows that martial law per se can be good or bad for business, depending on the circumstances surrounding it and how it is exercised.
