Based on the ethno-symbolist approach to the study of nationalism, this thesis proposes to see the Thai nation as a result of a long process, reflecting the three-phases-model (ethnie , pre-modem and modem nation) for the potential development of a nation as outlined by Anthony Smith.

  • 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.

  • Address of His Royal Highness Prince Wan Waithayakon, Representative of Thailand
    ADDRESS OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE WAN WAITHAYAKON, REPRESENTATIVE OF THAILAND November 5, 1943 (Translation) Monsieur le President, Your Excellencies, His Majesty’s Government have been happy to accept the invitation extended by the Japanese Government to take part in the present Assembly of Greater East-Asiatic Nations, because His Majesty’s Government are convinced that this Assembly will produce results most beneficial to the prosecution of the War of Great East Asia to its final conclusion as desired as well as to the permanent and ever,-prospering establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. His Excellency Field-Marshal P. Phibun-Songkhram, His Majesty’s President of the Council of Ministers, however, greatly regrets that he is unable to attend the Assembly in person, since the state of his health does not at present permit such a long journey to Tokyo. He has therefore entrusted me with the duty of representing him in this Assembly. The views of His Majesty’s Government concerning the conduct of the War of Greater East Asia and the establishment of the Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere are that the lines of conduct already practiced, particularly those following upon the principles of Japanese –Thai relationships, are already well-suited. The task to be undertaken is to promote the friendship, the mutual co-operation and the good understanding that already so happily exist to a close degree so as to form one single mental and physical force for bringing to their successful conclusion the prosecution of the war and the establishment of the Co-Prosperity Sphere in Greater East Asia.
