  • REVIEWS Thailand : Buddhist Kingdom As Modern Nation-State Charles F
    331 Journal of The Siam Society REVIEWS Thailand : Buddhist Kingdom as Modern Nation-State Charles F. Keyes, Westview Press, Boulder and London, 1987. This book is part of the series of Westview Profiles/Nations of Contemporary Asia. Though many volumes have been published on Thailand, this book deserves special attention. It is one of the few books on Thai politics and society ever written by an anthropologist. In fact, the book exemplifies par excellence the genre, political anthropology. The book is comprised of eight chapters. Chapter one presents a brief geography and background on the peoples of Thai society. Described are the origins of the present land and the diverse peoples which constitute the Thai nation. Chapter two presents an historical overview of the development of Thai traditions. Chapter three deals with the formation of the Thai nation-state. Chapter four analyses politics in Thai society by showing the process and conditions by which the military has come to dominate Thai politics. Also, the author in this chapter analyses the re-emerging role of the monarchy in politics. Chapter five describes the Thai polity after the 1973 "revolution". Again in this chapter, the author tries to show that Thai politics is essentially dominated by two important institutions in Thai society, namely, the monarchy and the military. Professor Keyes praises King Bhumibol for having "succeeded in restoring the Thai monarchy as a central pillar of the modem nation­ state" (p. 210). U.S. influence on Thailand, particularly during the Sarit and Thanom periods is also noted. Chapter six analyses the social organization within the Thai nation-state.

  • Chapter 4 Decentralization and Changing Local Politics in Thailand: Different Outcomes Among the Regions
    Chapter 4 Decentralization and changing local politics in Thailand: Different Outcomes among the Regions Nakharin Mektrairat Introduction Thailand as a modern nation-state, located in mainland Southeast Asia, has been historically composed of two contrasting characteristics, namely homogeneity and diversity of society and statehood. The former one has been strongly emphasized by the centralist and conservative camp. This group propagated the lineage of Thai people from the past to the present. By contrast, the latter one tends to belong to parochialism and simply the liberalist camp. This second camp always insists that Thai means “free” and “independent” and consists of multi-ethnic groups. According to this perception, Thais have always differences among themselves from one region to another. There are also some widely known dichotomies, with which Southeast Asian and Thai specialists frequently equipped for their research works, such as the ideas of unity and diversity, center and peripheries and the conventional framework of so-called high or court and low or common civilizations. These ideas aimed to explain political and social structures of Thailand, insisting that there would be one center, on both idealistic and concrete terms, for ever during each certain period and beyond. It also claims that the center always enjoyed invisible powers, the concentration of cultures, higher of belief system, and some kinds of authority to connect its powers with their own peripheries. In this perception, all peripheries have been comprised together like clusters which are put together with names of communities, villages, local authorities, and regions and so on. Examples of conventional wisdoms mentioned above seem to be not only attractive but also coincidental with another theoretical working notion of centrifugal and centripetal ideas of political forces.
