Abstract:
In Thailand a Chinese poultry company employs a traditional Chinese management style which is a didactic syle of leadership. While the company has dramatically grown in the last twenty years, the management structure has not changed to accomodate the organization's growth. The company is experiencing increased turnover and high absenteeism. The purpose of this study is to identify the threats and weaknesses facing the company in terms of decision making, job descriptions, and communication and management structure.

Abstract:
International Business research overwhelmingly tends to focus on firms that are perceived as rising international stars. This study, on the other hand, is motivated by the desire to examine other types of business organizations as they navigate the globalization process. In particular, a holistic view of family business groups (FBGs) and mainstream internationalization models governed by the concept of firm-specific advantages (FSAs) are con­fronted with the empirical findings of actual business expansion via personal connections. This serves as the conceptual framework of the study when investigating the nature of competitiveness of FBGs. Thailand is chosen as the research setting because of its both distinct and relevant economic and cultural background. The analysis begins by quantitatively exploring the population of the 139 largest Thai FBGs. Then, more fine­grained explanations are developed as a series of comparative case studies are carried out. Overall, the findings shed light on the study of emerging multinational corporations (EMNCs) in general by detailing and probing the evolution of Thai FBGs. Focus is on the internationalization process(es) and the subsequent need for organiza­tional adjustments; the latter involving imposing a measure of discipline on family affairs as well as modernizing business operations. This adds to the hitherto established notion of latecoming EMNCs simply scaling the techno­logical ladder. In essence, the tension between the "easy" path of relying on connections (i.e., what here is termed "the bamboo network") and the more "difficult" path of building competitiveness (i.e., going beyond the bamboo network) is exposed and explained. This study thus contributes to our understanding of the firm internationalization process.

Abstract:
This thesis comprises, firstly, a careful and detailed description of the institutional workings of the Chinese stock market; secondly, a literature review of the Chinese segmented markets and dual-listed shares price premium; and thirdly, three evidence-based contributions designed to cast new light on the Chinese A-shares premium puzzle. Publicly-listed firms in China, under certain criteria, can issue two different types of shares, namely A-shares and B-shares, to local and foreign investors respectively. These shares carry the same rights and obligations, but are however priced differently due to market segmentation. After a review of the literature on determinants of the premium, the first contribution offers a complementary explanation. I propose that the premium reflects the difference in valuation preferences between the local and foreign investors, i.e., local investors pay more attention to stock liquidity, while foreign investors pay more attention to firm’s intrinsic value, and so firms having more favorable fundamentals tend to have lower premia. The second contribution involves the examination of a controversial question that which investor group is better informed about local assets, by testing the direction of information flows between the A- and B-shares markets. Both time series methods, and panel data techniques which are used for the first time in this context, are employed, in order to get a distinct and more insightful picture against the current literature. The third contribution compares and contrasts institutional settings of China, Singapore and Thailand which have similar market segmentation and dual-listing systems; examines whether or not the premia in the three countries are caused by same factors; and tries to answer why foreign investors in China pay less, rather than more, as commonly observed in other segmented markets, for identical assets. It provides the first cross-country comparison evidence after 1999 with updated data.

Abstract:
Si l'Asie du Sud-Est est incontestablement la première région réceptrice du tourisme international chinois, la Thaïlande est, depuis 2016, le premier pays à accueillir ces touristes. Au terme d'un processus engagé à l'orée des années 1990, les touristes chinois, en groupes et en individuels, fréquentent aujourd'hui de plus en plus le Royaume, impliquant non seulement le développement de produits touristiques pensés depuis la République populaire de Chine, mais aussi une adaptation des opérateurs locaux.Cette thèses a pour objet les processus d'adaptation et les logiques d'acteurs (spatiales et économiques) face au développement du tourisme chinois sur l'île de Phuket. A partir d'observations et d'entretiens, ainsi que de statistiques créées grâce au dépouillement de catalogues de tour-opérateurs, ce travail vise à comprendre comment un espace touristique autrefois modelé par et pour des populations occidentales, se transforme maintenant pour répondre à de nouvelles attentes et représentations. Plus largement, cette étude souhaite contribuer à enrichir la réflexion sur la cohabitation avec le tourisme international dans le monde
While Southeast Asia is unquestionably the first receiving region of chinese outbound tourism, Thailand is now (since 2016) the first country to welcome these tourists. At the end of a process begun in the early 1990s, chinese tourists, in groups and individuals, are now increasingly visiting the Kingdom, involving not only the development of tourist products from the People'sRepublic of China, but also an adaptation of local stakeholders.This thesis focuses on the adaptation process and on the stakeholders logics (spatial and economic) facing the development of chinese tourism on the island of Phuket.Based on observations and interviews, as well as statistics created thanks to the analysis of tour operators' catalogs,this research aims to understand how a tourist space formerly modeled by and for Western populations, is now transformed to meet new expectations and representations. More broadly,this study wishes to contribute to enrich the reflection on the cohabitation with the international tourism in the world

Les etudes juridiques consacrees, jusqu'a present, aux investissements directs internationaux ont laisse peu de place a l'analyse des legislations nationales des pays d'accueil des investissements.

Up to now, the wealth of researchs on international foreing direct investment (fdi) has let little room to the national legislations of host countries. Each country included in this study have adopted sophisticated and efficient promotional legislations. In the part devoted to the study of the general company law of each country, the authors set out a comparative classification of the main forms of companies available and compare the rules regarding the constitution, management and dissolution of companies. In the study of the specific legislation for companies with foreign investment, a panorama of different policies and regulations appears concerning the control and approval of fdi. Nonetheless, the long term trend seems to be of relaxation and for the countries concerned, the national legislations adopt a liberal stance toward foreign participation. In general, the national legislations provide more or less generous incentives for tax and customs duties and less publicized measures to support the companies with foreign investment in their operational activities (such as land use and labour legislation). As concluding remark, the authors admitted that if the overall positive role or encouraging legislation concerning fdi in the developing countries is still to be demonstrated, the outstanding success obtained by the asian countries in utilizing fdi should deserve a more acute interest for their national legislation

Abstract:
Cette thèse se compose de trois chapitres indépendants sur les enfants de migrants restés au village en Chine, ainsi que sur les personnes âgées vivant seules en Thaïlande et au Vietnam. Le premier chapitre traite de la manière dont les frais de scolarité dans les zones urbaines affectent la migration des enfants en Chine. Nos résultats suggèrent que des frais plus élevés empêchent les travailleurs migrants d’amener leurs enfants avec eux dans les zones urbaines. Nous trouvons également que les travailleurs migrants dans la situation la plus précaire sont les plus touchés par une augmentation des frais de scolarité. Le deuxième chapitre étudie les répercussions de la migration interne des enfants adultes et de leurs envois de fonds sur l'offre de main-d'œuvre de leurs parents restés en zone rurale au Vietnam. Les résultats montrent que les mères ont tendance à travailler plus si elles ont des enfants migrants, mais à travailler moins lorsqu'elles reçoivent des fonds de leur part. À l'inverse, les pères sont moins touchés par la migration de leurs enfants et par leurs envois de fonds. Le troisième article examine l’impact de la retraite universelle introduite en Thaïlande en 2009 sur le bien-être et l'offre de main-d'œuvre de ses bénéficiaires et de leurs conjoints. Les résultats empiriques montrent que ce régime de retraite ne génère pas d'impact significatif sur la pauvreté ou les dépenses des ménages, mais recevoir une retraite a un impact négatif important sur la participation des bénéficiaires au marché du travail. De plus, les hommes comme les femmes réagissent à la perception d’une retraite par leur conjoint en quittant leur emploi et en restant inactifs
This dissertation consists of three independent papers on the left-behind children in China and the left-behind elderly in Thailand and Vietnam. The first paper addresses how school fees in urban areas affect child migration in China. Our findings suggest that higher fees deter migrant workers from bringing their children to urban areas, and more vulnerable migrant workers are most affected by an increase in school fees. The second paper investigates the impacts of adult children’s internal migration and remittances on the labor supply responses of the rural left-behind parents in Vietnam. The results show that mothers tend to work more if they have migrant children, and they tend to work less when they receive remittances from their migrant children. Conversely, fathers tend to be less affected by child migration and their remittances. The third paper examines the impacts of the universal social pension introduced in Thailand in 2009 on the well-being and the labor supply responses of the recipients and their spouses. The empirical results show that the social pension scheme does not generate significant impacts on household poverty status or expenditures, but receiving social pensions has a significant negative impact on beneficiaries' own labor market participation. Further, both men and women are found to respond to their spouses' pensions by leaving their jobs and staying inactive

Abstract:
L'économie mondiale continue à être dominée par les régions de la Triade - l'Europe, Amérique du Nord et Asie de l'Est. Les relations Asie-Europe ont longtemps constitué le lien inter-triadique le plus faible face notamment au dynamisme de la relation transpacifique entre l'Asie orientale et les Etats-Unis. Ce texte propose une analyse systématique et complète sur les divers aspects de ce rapport et le développement important qu'il a connu ces dernières années qui ont vu les échanges Asie-Europe se hisser au niveau de leur contrepartie transpacifique. Longtemps conflictuels, les rapports sont aujourd'hui plus apaisés surtout depuis la constitution de l'ASEM, instance dialogale entre les deux continents. L'accélération de la croissance asiatique combinée à l'émergence de la Chine tend à faire de ce continent le foyer central de la croissance mondiale et du développement. La dynamique du monde chinois combinée à la puissance japonaise provoque le recentrage sur l'Asie des flux commerciaux, créant ainsi une nouvelle division du travail qui constitue la base objective du processus d'intégration de la région en cours. Mais l'instabilité du système international, marqué par l'affaiblissement des organismes de régulation représente à terme une menace pour l'économie mondiale tout comme pour les économies asiatiques. Le développement de l'Asie orientale pose de manière aigue l'émergence d'une nouvelle architecture des rapports internationaux fondée sur des relations de coopération et l'avènement d’un monde multipolaire. Ceci suppose que le cours actuel, désigné par le terme de mondialisation soit remis en cause. L'Union européenne devrait jouer le rôle de puissance médiatrice dans ce processus que ses dirigeants refusent d'assumer pour l'instant face à l'unilatéralisme des Etats-Unis
The world economy continues to be dominated by the areas of the Triad - Europe, North America and East Asia. The relations Asia-Europe constituted for a long time the weakest inter-triadic bond face in particular with the dynamism of the transpacific relation between Eastern Asia and the United States. This text proposes a systematic and complete analysis on various aspects of this link and the significant development that he knew these last years which saw the Asia-Europe exchanges rising on the level of their transpacific counterpart. Conflicting over a long time, the relationship is currently alleviated especially since the constitution of the ASEM, structure of discussion between the two continents. The acceleration of the Asian growth combined with the emergence of China tends to make of this continent the central hub of the world growth and development. The dynamics of the Chinese world combined with the Japanese power causes the centring on Asia of commercial flows, thus creating a new division of labour which constitutes the objective foundation of the integrative process in progress. However the instability of the international system, marked by the weakening of the regulatory framework represents in the long run a threat for the world economy just like for the Asian economies. The development of Eastern Asia poses in an acute way the restructuring of the present "World Governance" in order to pave the way to the emergence of a new international scheme founded on relations of co-operation and the advent of a multipolar world. This supposes that the current course, epitomized by the term of Globalization should be called into question. The European Union should play the part of mediating power in this process which its leaders refuse to assume so far, facing the unilateralism of the United States

Teaching and learning Chinese in Thailand is distinctive due to differences in the teaching environment. Using the Puayhua Public School and the private Ruamrudee International School as case study subjects, a deep and systematic study of Chinese teaching and learning in Thailand is explored through the perspectives of both the teacher and the student. The advantages and shortcomings in the teaching environment are examined, and recommendations are made for these Chinese language teaching institutions. Chapter 1 introduces the research motive and defines relevant terms. Chapter 2: literature review. The school’s administrative function is defined and aspects of Chinese teaching are examined and discussed, including teaching experiences, course material, and teaching methods. Chapter 3: Research methodology and process. This thesis utilizes a case study approach, comparing the differences between middle-school students from two distinct environments. Data collection includes observations, in-depth interviews, and filling out of questionnaires. Chapter 4: Differences between the two institutions.

China government started “reform and open policy”, and their economic growth had continually begun. It is obviously that the influence of China has spread all over the world, also calles “the rise of China” . Currently, China is the most important trading country for Thailand. However, there is an insufficient accurate understanding of the Chinese economy among the Thai society. Due to the inadequacy of prior study, this research will explore China Studies in Thailand after official relations were establishedon July 1, 1975. It will focus on the studies of China’s economy as well as its performance and characteristic. The main question for the research is to explore what institutes, researchers and their agendas in Thailand. In order to contribute the study, the qualitative data collection technique will be used to conduct the study is divided into two parts, which are the document research and the in-depth interview. The involvement of information of scholars and prior studies will identify China Studies’ performance in Thailand. In addition, the data from existing works will provide the findings of the characteristic and effects of China Studies Communities in Thailand, led to limitations. Furthermore, investigating their effects will contribute to the possible prospect. The accomplishment of this research offers academics, students, and people who are interested in China Studies a vivid knowledge of the research field, it also provides thorough information gathered from noteworthy scholars and previous research in Thailand. Moreover, it will generate an understanding regarding Chinese Economic Studies in Thailand for foreign scholars, offering a ladder to cooperate in the future.

When the Chinese exactly came to Thailand is hard to specify. The first wave of Chinese that immigrated to Thailand was from Southern China, specifically Hoklo-speaking people from Fujian province, the Teochow people and other southerners. However, compared to the Southeast Asian countries, the immigrants in Thailand are mostly Chinese. This has a huge influence on its societal, political and economic development of Thailand. Much of Thailand’s literature and literature-adapt drama pieces are based on Chinese stories. These pieces of work are called Thai-Chinese literature (泰華文學) or drama. These Chinese story based Thai soap operas reflect how Thai people understand Chinese culture, and further allows the audience to understand just how the Thai people view Chinese culture. As a researcher, I studied a total of 7 TV dramas. I will focus mainly on Yuu Kub Kong 《跟阿公住在一起》, Botan Gleep Sudtai《牡丹花的最後一瓣》 and Mungkut Dok Sohm 《橙花皇冠》. The other 4 TV dramas, namely Yok Lai Mek《雲上的寶石》, Mon Ruk Kao Tom Mud《爱情糯米粽》, Qi Pao《旗袍》, Likit Fah Chata Din《命定天堂》 are used as supplements to enhance what I will be studying. These 7 TV dramas all have characteristics of Chinese culture. This has helped me to analyze just how the Thai people understand Chinese culture and the characteristics of their culture. There are 4 chapters in this research: Chapter 1 is the Iintroduction. Chapter 2 is about the Discussion of Chinese Culture and the Evolution of Thai TV series content. Chapter 3 is about the Presentation of Chinese Culture in Thai TV series. Last but not least, Chapter 4 is about the results of my research contribution and my conclusion. Thai drama has its individual history. The research on how it spread, changed and affected the audience will not only help readers understand the development of Thai drama, but also help others to find its artistic charm and social value. This will also help others to understand just how Chinese culture and tradition have changed in Thailand, and it will inform those who wish to understand the culture of the Chinese in Thailand. Moreover, it will further develop the cultural exchange between the Chinese and Thai people.

Abstract TCSL methodology program, Teaching Chinese in Thailand There are many Thai people who study Chinese language because of the open policy on Chinese language teaching in Thailand. Therefore, a shortage of qualified Chinese language teachers has become a serious problem in Thailand. Chinese Teacher-Training program for Rajabhat Universities (RU) in Thailand is an unprecedented program between Taiwan and Thailand. It is sponsored by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MEO) and set up for the purpose of preparing qualified Chinese teachers for RU in Thailand. The aim of this study is to evaluate the program based on questionnaire surveys, interviews. The findings of this research are: 1. The Chinese language teacher-training program has successfully promoted the cultural exchange between Taiwan and Thailand. 2. The trainees in general held positive views toward the program design and the courses offered. However, the trainees also had some negative comments about the lacking of opportunities of internship in the program planning. 3. The Chinese language teacher- training and development model are consisted of a learning theory, and a practical component based on teaching methodology and opportunity for teaching practice. It is hoped that this study will shed light on the design of pre-service and in-service teacher training program in the future. There are 2 suggestions for future research: 1. Promote international teacher training programs based on the model 2.Develop more Chinese teacher-training exchange programs with different countries.

In recent years, due to the closer relationship among China and ASEAN countries in higher education, many universities in China have started offering Southeast Asian language courses and sending students to study in ASEAN countries. Based on the results from the interviews, most of the Chinese students who study in Huachiew Chalermprakiet University were from Guangxi region. Furthermore, some students have been sent to Thailand by their universities and the others were at their own expense to study in Thailand. The main purpose of this study is to know the motivation of Chinese students who study in Southeast Asian countries, as well as to understand the situation how they adapt in Thailand. The results show that the motivations of Chinese students who choose to study in Southeast Asian countries are mainly about the stress of entering higher education in China, the pressure of finding a good job after graduation, the growing influence of ASEAN, and Guangxi is near Southeast Asian countries. The mainly problems they faced are diet suited, language barriers, and setback of academic pressures. Possessed of the capability of local language and have the supports from the same ethnic community are main factors to adapt them to local environment quickly.

Abstract Buddhism is highly prevalent in Thailand (a country of kasaya). Being the state religion there are a great deal of followers across the nation, including the Emperor and the royal families. The numerous pagodas, temples and monks have become the three major characteristics of Thailand. Contemporary Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to Thailand by Vietnam and China at the end of the 18th century. The First Patriarch of Chinese Buddhist Sect, Monk Hsu Hsing, built Yung Fu Temple and remodeled Kan Lu Temple. After that, he built the first temple of Chinese Buddhist Sect, Lung Lien Temple, which already has around one hundred and fifty years of history. The Chinese Buddhism was introduced and combined and localized with the local Theravada Buddhism. Under the guidance and hard efforts of the seven Patriarchs of the Chinese Buddhist Sect, Chinese Buddhism has become a very crucial part of Mahayana Buddhism among the three main sects in Thailand. The subject research aims to explore the formation, inheritance, development, and future plans of the Chinese Buddhist Sect in Thailand. The contents of each chapter are as follows: Chapter One, the preface, expounds the motivation and scope of the study, research methodology, literature review and discussion, study limits, research framework and the summary to each chapter. Chapter Two introduces the history of Buddhism in Thailand and the development of the Chinese Buddhist Sect in Thailand: a sketch to Thai Buddhist characteristics, a review of the historical documents and its characteristics about the Chinese Buddhist Sect, the status quo investigation on Bhoman-Khunaram Temple, the Muen Buddha Temple, and the Fo En Zen Temple. Chapter Three introduces the status quo and the legal basis of the Chinese Buddhist Sect in Thai Buddhism, the powers, status and selection of a patriarch of the Chinese Buddhist Sect, and the establishment and operation of the committee members. Chapter Four introduces the temples of the Chinese Buddhist Sect and the architectural design of Bhoman-Khunaram Temple, including the front yard of the mountain door, the Great King Temple, the main Temple (Ubosot), Vihara Buraphacharn, Kuan Im Temple, the Vihara of “Kasitikharbha” Bodhisattva, and the Canon House, etc. Chapter Five introduces the stories of the seven patriarchs, including how they preached, the reasons behind building the temples, why they were respected by Thai people, and how the Thai Monk Imperial and Thai Emperor canonized and conferred aristocratic titles to the patriarchs. Chapter Six introduces the education and the practice of the Chinese Buddhist Sect: how they establisheded Tzu En junior high school, Lung Lien junior high school, Pu Te junior high school to foster talents, what the concepts and plans for the future Sangha University are, and the five lessons, regular lessons, the methods of practice in Bhoman-Khunaram Temple. Chapter Seven introduces the financial resources of Bhoman-Khunaram Temple, which are mainly from the followers’ donations, as well as the job and the duties of Sanghas. Chapter Eight introduces not only the history but the characteristics of Thai Buddhism and Chinese Buddhist Sect Mahayana Buddhism, and some personal opinions on the issues such as the cultivation of talents, popularization of Chinese education, localization of the Chinese educators, dharma propagation by the use of modern network technology, and so forth. Overseas field study and interview of Thai Chinese Buddhist Sect has its limits and difficulties. The revolution of Sanghas by Thai Ven. Bodh-Chaeng ensured the Chinese Buddhist Sect a crucial position in Thailand. That is a heritage to Ven.Yen-Teck and to the millions of Thai followers. It is worthy of continuous further study. Keywords:The Chinese BuddhismSect. Ven. Bodh-Chaeng.Ven.Yen-Teck. Lung Lien Temple. Bhoman-Khunaram Temple.the Muen Buddha Temple.

For Thai student, Chinese characters is the most complicated and hardest part in learning Chinese. Due to the big difference between Chinese and Thai writing system, It makes Thai students hard to understand the combination of “shape”, “sound”, and “meaning” of Chinese characters. In recent years, there are many self-learning textbooks available in Thai market, including comprehensive teaching materials (including listening, speaking,reading, and writing), Chinese conversation textbooks, Chinese character textbooks, and etc. Among these materials, the Chinese charactors textbooks are the most versatile and numerous. The purpose of this research is to analyze the current situation of Chinese characters teaching from the existing Chinese textbooks and to find out the advantages and disadvantages of these textbooks. In addition, this research also indicates how these materials influence the students, how to use the teaching materials for classroom activities, or whether the students can learn by themselves? The process of this research starts from surveying Chinese character teaching in Thailand by giving questionnaires and interviewing teachers. After that Chinese textbooks and Chinese characters textbooks had been explored and analyzed. This research focuses on Chinese characters teaching, characteristics of the teaching materials, design concept, target student of textbooks, teaching methods, teaching materials, choice of words, and etc. Finally, according to the above research results, the author has designed the Chinese character teaching materials for Thai people and provided the teaching suggestions for future research.

Religious culture is a very important element in Chinese society, especially to overseas Chinese society. In Thailand, there are many descriptions of Chinese temples in the Thai Chinese society that was discovered before the implementation of the assimilation policy. The surrounding of Chinese temples will gradually form lively Chinese communities, which shows that Chinese life and their temple has a close link. In early stage Thailand took the policy of natural assimilation, but with the rise of nationalism in Thailand, the prototype of the assimilation policy gradually form its base after Rama VIs inauguration; in 1932 Thailand became the monarchy constitutional system, Rama VI's theory of exclusion of Chinese culture, began a series of full assimilation policy focus on Chinese immigrants. The process of assimilation policy is mainly on immigration, nationality, culture, education, and economic aspects, coupled with dramatic decreasing of Chinese immigrants after the implementation of the assimilation policy, in time, the native Chinese immigrant descendants assimilate into the Thai society, how to distinguish between the Chinese descendants and native Thai would be the Chinese tradition inherited from the older generation. At the time, the close relationship between Chinese religious culture and Chinese community played an important role in transformed the original pure spiritual sustenance role into local Chinese ethnic identity, cultural identity and inheritance.   The aim of this thesis studies the beliefs of the more common or dialect group in the Chinese society in Thailand. The results show that there are still other unique local beliefs in addition to the Buddhist beliefs after the Chinese assimilation of the Thai society. Which in the Chinese faith of the religious celebration no only retain the early traditional Chinese culture, but integrated some of the local Thai culture; in addition, some of the Chinese religious groups developed a new religious cause internationally, so that the original birthplace in the decline or disappearance of the religion could re-flourish; such as, moral education, the Chinese Buddhism faith. At present, Chinese religion in Thailand is more responsible for the inheritance of Chinese culture, and to promote the role of Chinese culture in Thai society, also enhance Chinese element into such a religious country, Thailand.

The development of Thai Nationalism in the past two centuries went very closely to the procedure about the modernization of this country. Since Rama I became the new king , the Dynasty of Chakri had experienced a series of wars with countries around it as expanding territory in taking top status among area powers. Until Rama III, the kingdom were basically still under the political system of very traditional feudalism. When it came to Rama IV, the western capitalism superpowers dashed to Southeastern Asia and the kingdom were also facing the strong requesting for open of market and formal political relations. Not being the same as other Southeastern Asian countries ,the colonies of those western superpowers, the king Rama IV had started to think about fixing traditional national systems and made the modernization plan for the kingdom. Since Rama V, the king kept doing changing for nation’s modernization under the base of his father’s plans. Rama V actively welcomed and received the western ideas and systems for making the continuous progress more widely and deeply. Education, especially occupied the central point of the plans, the king sent many imperial and noble family members to Europe for receiving the modern western education. This decision made the old kingdom owned the first group of new leading members with modern ideas about managing the country. At the same time, the idea about nationalism was also brought to and born the very first time in Thailand and had been strongly influential day by day. At the beginning of 20th century, the formation of nationalism in Thailand was almost completed . The Thai society started to feel the threat from Chinese people who lived in Thailand long time and held the main business but never treated as foreigners . The success of 1911 nationalism revolution in China gave the overseas Chinese feeling about nationalism and identity for China but at the same time brought the confrontation between the two nationalisms. By the confrontation, the Thai government started to take some political actions to limit the development of Thai-Chinese. Thai government hoped that Thai-Chinese kept going to assimilate in Thai society and went being loyal to the kingdom. On the other side, the Thai-Chinese who had been enjoying the free living and business environment without any restrictions in Thailand now felt the pressure from Thai government. They tried to reacted to the new political rules and also asked for support from Chinese government. After the coup in 1932, the power of Thai nationalism went to the top position and the new government tried very hard to seek for the good relationship with Japan. Thus, the new government again started to take actions but this time harder than before to restrict the development of Thai-Chinese. The yearly amount of immigrants were sharply deducted , the Chinese schools were also ruled by the strict laws, some were even closed. Since 1911, the Chinese government positively sought every possible way in connecting with overseas Chinese, take education as the way in promoting the nationalism and the nation-identity among these people close to China. These actions made the image of Chinese schools in political more than educational function. Also, the series new laws for the government of Thailand made all problems about Thai-Chinese not just the inner racial problem, but also the problem of international relationships with some countries. The background of Thailand’s Chinese policies and actions were complicated as they stayed between three main topics: the development of Thai nationalism, the international relationship condition and the role and function of Chinese education in Thailand. The anti-Chinese policy and the resistance from Thai-Chinese connected closely to the Chinese democratic revolution, also ended by the time Chinese civil war finished. After 1949, The Thai-Chinese had already made the choice in high level to be part of Thai society by the practical reasons. At the same time, after the fading away of political function for Chinese schools, the development of Thai-Chinese education was almost ended. Comparing to other Chinese in south-east Asia, the reason why Thai-Chinese didn’t construct such education system like Malaysian Chinese is special and curious. Also, the anti-Chinese policy made Thai-Chinese accidently involved highly in Thai society showed also very different reflection from other south-eastern Asian countries which also took the same policy to Chinese there. The study purpose of the thesis is focus on more understanding about the characteristics of Thai-Chinese society. The analyzing for roles and functions which Chinese education acted in different periods of Thai history is also one of the main purpose for this thesis.

In this study, the stateless Yunnan Chinese in Chiang Mai, Thailand were adopted as participants. Through the living experiences of these stateless individuals, the plights they faced in Thai society were explored. In addition, the social relationship between these stateless individuals and Thailand was expounded. Statelessness is an issue of academic concern, and the reasons causing statelessness vary from country to country. The Yunnan Chinese that live in Chiang Mai, Thailand used to be Kuomintang soldiers, dependents, and commoners that moved to Thailand because of the civil war. As time went by, they became descendants of KMT soldiers. They lived in constant dread of poverty in mountain villages that lacked educational resources. Their statelessness impeded them from seeking education that only a handful managed to graduate from high school, let alone getting a job. Many people worked part time without graduating, the result of the statelessness of Yunnan Chinese living in refugee villages who felt anxious about their future. Through the author's personal experience, the social phenomena as well as the relationship between they and the society caused by the statelessness of Yunnan Chinese living in refugee villages in Chiang Mai were explored from the perspectives, prospects, sentiments, and feelings of the statelessness Yunnan Chinese. It was found that according to the Thai government's nationality policy (attitude towards statelessness) and the Nationality Act implemented in Thailand over the years, naturalization to Thai citizenship within the territorial jurisdiction is the basic criterion. However, when the growing immigrant population posed a threat to national security, modifications were made to the National Act. For example, in response to the problem of immigration arising from the people that fled to Thailand after the outbreak of the Indochina War, in 1972, the Declaration of the Revolutionary Council No. 337 was promulgated. The provisions stipulate that parents of children without Thai citizenship may be deprived of their Thai citizenship status even if their children were born in Thailand. Although the policy has been officially cancelled, the governments' attitude towards immigrants that continue to enter the country remains the same as before. This resulted in denied granting of citizenship to immigrants and children born in Thailand. Additionally, the policy mess and the undertakers' operational inefficiency have contributed to the phenomenon of statelessness that continues to exist in Thai society to this day. As Thailand's National Act has gradually lifted the restrictions on naturalization, to some extent, it may be the solution for statelessness within a short time span. As for reasons contributing delays and the pending issues, based on the author's investigation findings, there are four reasons: 1. The undertaker lacks related legal knowledge, overlooks matters, and is inefficient in handling; 2. Stateless individuals are unfamiliar with the application procedures, supply incorrect personal data, or fail to receive relevant information. 3. In 1965 due to Thailand new nationality policy, the number of stateless person is increasing. 4. The unstable political situation in Thailand provoked more people to become stateless. Hence, the statelessness Yunnan Chinese suffered setbacks in many aspects, such as work, education, medical treatment, personal liberty, and property rights, all of which make them doubt the value of their existence in Thai society.

Chinese language education experienced numerous policy reforms under the Thailand government. This study is about a case study of Guangfu High School in Vavee Village of northern Thailand. In 1984, Thailand government implemented “Thai assimilation” policy at refugee camps in northern Thailand. Yet, this policy has forced all the Chinese schools at refugee camps which were adopted since 1960 to shut down, with the intention to assimilate the Chinese. In this paper, through existing literature and interviews, I will explain the history and changes Guangfu High School has gone through and how it has maintained its existence. Also, the uniqueness of Chinese schools in refugee camps and the difficulties in their developmental history will be examined. Each of its developmental stage of Chinese language education is also analyzed via Guangfu High School’s history. There are two main focuses in this study. First, it is the reason why residents of refugee camps would have chosen Chinese language education. Second, what are the significant meanings of Chinese schools have for them. It will be discussed from two aspects—instrumental rationalism and ethno-cultural emotion.

This research focuses on the identity politics of the second-generation yunnanese chinese in northern Thailand. I use the social constructionism of ethnic theory as my viewpoint and scrutinize the ethnic phenomena of the yunnanese who migrated to the boundary of Thai-Myanmar since the Chinese civil war. I argue that the yunnanese Chinese identity’s change is not nearly personal choice which got the Thai-citizenship in 1980s. Instead, we have to understand the process by embedding the overseas community’s policy of the R.O.C government since 1949 and the governance of Thailand government. The two things trigger the yunnanese Chinese to form the “boundaries of ethnic group.” Taking the yunnanese as a community, it not only shows the transnationality of the R.O.C’s nationalism since the Chinese civil war, but also reflects the policies of the thai-nationalism assimilation. And the latter one promotes the yunnanese to think about the relationship with the other ethnic groups in Thailand. On the one hand, they became as compatriots of the R.O.C’s government before 1980s. And then they became as outsiders since the Taiwanese subjectivity discourse rising after 1980s. On the other hand, as the improvement of Chinese policy in Thailand, the yunnanese were been taken as the minority in the thai-nationalism. Since that, they started to construct the northern-thai chineseness and identified the difference from the Teochew chinese in Bangkok through the Chinese representative. This research takes Mae Salong Chinese village as the major field site. And the ethnic phenomena show that the factors of the identity negotiation are political structure, citizenship, and the collective memory of the Chinese civil war. The yunnanese strategically use their own ethnicity to perform their ethnic identity and othering the chinese in Bangkok. Finally, this research argues that the northern-thai chineseness is the product of political power and ethnic relationship, and the yunnanese ethnic identity is wavering between primordialism and instrumentalism.

There are currently over fifty million overseas Chinese living around the world. Because overseas Chinese have found themselves living in foreign environments and coming into contact with unfamiliar local cultures, they have often faced problems with integration. Differences in geography, culture and political structures have resulted in different concepts of race and racial identity. Chinese have migrated to Thailand for a long time. The Chaozhou population has accounted for the highest number of such migrants (56%), with the second largest group being the Hakka (about 16%). Their relationship with the Thai people has been strongly influenced by Thai assimilation and isolation policies; as a result of intermarriage and the intermingling of language and culture, the racial identity of the Thai Chinese slowly changed. Despite forming the majority of the Chinese population in Thailand, the Chaozhou group has not been able to avoid assimilation; similarly the Hakka have found that maintaining their own culture and identity in Thailand has been a long and difficult process. Most studies of overseas Chinese populations compare “overseas Chinese” with “Chinese”. This study, however, will focus on the comparison of the Chaozhou and Hakka groups within the overseas Chinese populations of Thailand. This paper examines the following issues: First, what is the status of the ethnic cultural preservation of the Chaozhou and Hakka peoples in Thailand? How successful have they been in keeping or continuing their cultural memories, practices or beliefs? Second, how fluid are the ethnic identities of the Chaozhou and Hakka peoples? How have the policies of the Thai government influenced Thai Chinese ethnic identity, and what specific factors have contributed to cultural change? Third, this paper seeks to gain a better understanding of the development of Chinese identity by comparing and contrasting the ethnic identities of the Chaozhou and Hakka peoples. How do racial identities develop, and how persistent is cultural memory? This study is based on qualitative research, consisting of three components: literary analysis, participant observation and interviews. This study found that in the historical context of Thai assimilation policies, four significant factors affected the ethnic identity and fluidity of the Chaozhou and Hakka peoples in Thailand. The first is intermarriage between Thais and Chinese, facilitating closer social relationships. The second is continuing associations relations with hometowns in China, preserving and deepeningdeepending racial identity. The third factor is control of language, prohibiting Chinese and forcing the use of the local language, causing significant cultural change and therefore changes in ethnic identity. The fourth factor is the influence of urbanization, resulting in the loss of village life and the intermingling of cultures in large urban environments. This study found that the Chaozhou and Hakka peoples in Thailand still strongly identified as "Chinese", with the Hakka having a notably stronger sense of connection to Chinese ethnic identity than the Chaozhou.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the operations of the Confucius Institute in contemporary Thailand. By the end of 2012, there were already 400 Confucius Institutes around the world, 13 of which are in Thailand. It took the Confucius Institute less than a decade to rapidly expand around the globe. Despite its putative neutral objective of promoting Chinese culture and language globally, this thesis argues that the Institute is closely affiliated with the Chinese government, and is in fact part of the Chinese government’s broader hegemonic project. I define hegemony as dominance that rests on generally based consent and is established by social forces occupying a dominant role within a state that are projected outward on a world scale. I look at three aspects of hegemony: the negotiation of norms, the conferring of common interests and mutual benefits to members, and the lived social experience through selective and dominant cultural symbols. This thesis presents empirical data that was collected during three months of field research in Thailand in 2012. It shows that the Confucius Institute attempts to create a norm of international harmony which has its roots in the Chinese government’s domestic policy to construct a harmonious society by 2020. Furthermore, this thesis illustrates that students and people who are involved with the Confucius Institute perceive their participation as resulting in mutual benefits that are “real.” Their perceptions are related to international policies that show Thailand as benefiting by subordinating to China’s political and economic dominance. Lastly, cultural public events organized by the Confucius Institute demonstrate how hegemony is a lived social experience for participants.

The column titled “Menan Poet’s Corner” posted on the Menan River Supplement to the World Journal is chosen as the research scope. Firstly, an overview on the history of Menan River Supplement since its inception as the “Literature & Art Supplement” to World Journal until it was taken over by Taipei United Daily Syndicate is presented. Next, come the delineation of Menan River Supplement’s then-role-playing as a communication channel and its positioning from the perspective of history. Thirdly, the backgrounds of “Menan Poetry Garden” created on the Menan River Supplement are explained. The poetic views and the carrying out of editing concepts of past editors and their influence are recounted by order. Pieces of Modern Chinese poems published on “Menan Poetry Garden” are cases studied for the aesthetic research. Individual poet’s poetic works and the offprint of poetic works of numerous poets are touched on, supported by each individual poet’s poetic views. The research literature is referred to in the research. Through the perspectives of rhetoric and aesthetics, the linguistic phenomenon displayed in the Modern Chinese poetry is analyzed to explore the implications embedded. Strain and limit to the language used in the poetry is also discussed. The way of thinking and imaging of the Modern Chinese poetry poets is observed in order to seek their world of aesthetic awareness. Besides highlighting the aesthetic values carried by the Modren Chinese poetry in Thailand, the views of “Realism” and “Romanticism” in the aesthetic awareness are applied in the research to reflect on its spirit and presenting skills. By viewing it from various perspectives, a break with the past impression which had categorized the Modren Chinese poetry in Thailand as “realism” is made. Hence, the many-faceted colors long possessed by the Modren Chinese poetry in Thailand get to be discovered and appreciated. The dissertation is arranged by the following order: Chapter I: The research motives, objectives, scope and methods applied are stated. Chapter II: An introduction to the inception of the supplement, the management of “Menan Poetry Garden” and the interaction between “Menan Poetry Garden” and the Modern Chinese poetic in Thailand circle. Chapter III: Discussion on the linguistic features presented by the Modren Chinese poetry in Thailand. Paragraph One is on its linguistic phenomenon, and its rhythm and moods. Paragraph Two is on its semantics and an effort to make an induction. Chapter IV: An analysis of the time and space presented by the Modern Chinese poetry to understand the poet’s view on the time and space. In their view of the time, the poets reverse the time to take a look at the history, make a pause at the present time for a while to ponder and keep their hands fastened to the future for constant seeking. In their view of the space, through writing about the grassroots and the marginalized people, the poets walk about in the twilight zone where reality and fantasy meet. Chapter V: Exploring the imaging graphics presented by the Modern Chines poetry in Thailand and its structure. Interwoven by the poets’ feelings and ideas and the material world, the imaging graphics come into shape and become the basic elements of a poem. This chapter places importance on poems which are good at image presenting. Chapter VI: To draw an induction on the inner awareness of the Modern Chinese poets in Thailand, to explore their experiences towards the feelings of beauty and how they present the prevalent cultural-psychiatric structures in a way that is personal and sentimental and subjective. Chapter VII: To conclude the above and seek out a value in aesthetics for the Modern Chinese poetry in Thailand and its position in terms of literary research.

In this thesis, I want to answer the question of“How Sino-Thai Chinese capitals were infused in banking and financial sector of Thailand and which of them were dominating?”I tried to solve the puzzle in three perspectives:changes in Social structures, economic situation within and without Thailand, and attitudes of government toward Chinese. Between 1855 and 1970, Chinese capital in Thailand was transformed from“tax farmer capital”and“capital of rice miller and trader”into“Sino-Thai banking and financial capital.”First, we found that traditional Siam structure of Sakdina system, where in assimilation force of Chinese tax farmers has weakened. This kind of capital accumulation was ended. They were replaced by rice miller and trader who subsequently dominated sea trade networks of“Bangkok-Singapore-Hong Kong-Swatow”. These Chinese merchants have advantage of integrating their family business into banking and financial sector. After 1932, the members of revolutionary of People’s Party and military generals pursued economic nationalism, leading to the appearance of Thai people’s bureaucrat capital. Thai political elites in government were aggressively involved in all kinds of business activities Chinese merchants had earned their living for many years. The most dramatic is the intervention in rice mill industry and export trade. Henceforth, the banking and financial sector fell into hands of the Chinese capital of rice miller and trader. We Found that the big four Sino-Thai Banks had emerge after World War Ⅱ, including Bangkok Bank, Thai Farmers Bank, Bank of Ayudhya and Bangkok Metropolitan Bank. It is evident that the capital of rice miller and trader was heavily involved in these banks. Moreover, the management and ownership of the four banks were primarily controlled by the four Chinese families -Sophonpanich, Lamsam, Ratanarak and Techapaiboon till 1970s. Then maintenance of the patron-client relationship made their dominance in banking business a success.

In the midst of last century, during the war between KMT (Kuomintang) and CCP (Chinese Communist Party), a large number of KMT Chinese soldiers and their families retreated all the way from Yunnan, China to Myanmar and Northern Thailand (Thaibei). With their “anti-Communism” belief, the Chinese in Thaibei maintained close relationship with the Republic of China (Taiwan) for past decades, by receiving plenty of benevolent resources from the Taiwanese government and the general public. In Northern Thailand, Chinese school exists in each village. Local Students can learn Mandarin with Taiwanese textbooks in the traditional Chinese format. Parents are desirous of sending their children to study in Taiwan. However, during the past years, the abundant resources provided from CCP have changed the condition in the traditional anti-Communism area. China struck on Thaibei Chinese villages with the ground of “taking care of Thaibei compatriots.” The report has found that the resources from China are similar to those from Taiwan, including school admission offerings, overseas passports, scholarships, simplified Chinese textbooks, permanently stationed teachers, exchanges and training activities of teachers. Chinese people in Thaibei have different attitudes and perceptions towards China in different areas, positions and backgrounds. Receiving the resources from China has caused a huge controversy in the traditional pro-Taiwan Thaibei Chinese community. The sensitive problem between “pro-China” and “pro-Taiwan” groups is still difficult to be solved. By tracking the studying path of Thaibei students studying in China, this TV in-depth report discusses their motives of choosing China over Taiwan. It also analyzes Thaibei Chinese''s tangle with China by investigating the controversy caused by China resources provided to Thaibei.

Although International Volunteering and Service (IVS) aims to make contributions to its target beneficiaries, previous research have shown that the effects of IVS could be both positive and negative. This study focuses on hearing the voices of 2 main beneficiaries including host school, and volunteers. The research was conducted by the in-depth interviews to gain their perspectives on the positive and negative effects of IVS programs in Datong Chinese School during June – August, 2014. The findings from this research show that both host school and volunteers have gained some benefits. Individually, the IVS has helped the people in the host school increasing their intercultural competence, improving their personal and professional skills and inspiring them to continue their self-development, increasing their interesting in civic services, raising their aspirations to study and work abroad and increasing their international contact. For the organizational level, IVS helps the host school fulfilling the staffing supply demand gaps, supporting resources, assisting the school to improve its service quality. The volunteers also have been increasing their intercultural competence; personal and professional development; civic engagement; employability; international life plans and contact. However, supply-based model program, volunteer’s lack of adequate background and experiences, poor volunteer management, lack of program sustainability, and poor communication and lack of partnership between volunteers and host school teachers, and lack of guided reflection may limit the contributions of the IVS. The effective volunteer management, reciprocity and field collaboration, and accountability would help to enhance the quality of services and avoid the negative effects such as interrupting the continuity or lower the quality of the school service, and creating emotional problems of the participants.

The Ministry of Education of Thailand lists Chinese as a second language or a foreign language but does not provide a unified regulation for the curriculum of Chinese language. Schools or private institutions can plan their own Chinese curricula, resulting in the diversity of Chinese teaching in Thailand. This study intends to explore the status of the implementation of the Singapore Chinese Language curriculum in an international school in Thailand. Chinese courses are generally second language or foreign language courses in international schools, while Singapore Chinese courses are native language courses and schools are bound to adjust accordingly to the actual situation. The content of the curriculum is implemented through teaching, thus this study will also explore the curriculum planning and teaching status of Chinese courses in the case school. Through case studies and field research, this study was conducted on the current planning and teaching status of Singapore Chinese Language curriculum. The results of this study show that the Singapore Chinese Language curriculum is a continuous course, which can lay a good foundation for students, but the curriculum is difficult, which results in students giving up easily after making efforts but without progress. New students must start from scratch. The shortcomings shown by the implementation of the Singapore Chinese Language curriculum in Thailand include the lack of a language environment, contents not meeting the national conditions of Thailand, the weak practicality of the curriculum, students with lower language proficiency than the corresponding age of the teaching materials, and severe pressure in learning.

Mission is one of the purposes of God. Jesus Christ established the Church on earth, and His purpose was to proclaim the gospel throughout the world. In the Bible, mission has a very important role through the church history. Oversea Chinese churches and mission organizations have participated mission works in northern Thailand over 40 years. Most of their out-reaching people are local Chinese and minority tribes. The goal of this research is to study the strategies of evangelism and mission works to Thai people. With the help of Chinese Christian Missions (CCM) in Northern Thailand, we focused on the mission strategies used by Chiangkhong Christian Education Center (CCEC). After a survey of the Buddhist literatures in Thailand and interviews with many local missionaries and church pastors, field research results were collected. We found out why the population of Christians is still below 1%, even there is a more than 180 years of Christianity history in Thailand. In Chapter 3, we discussed the huge impacts of Buddhism to Thailand in history, politics, education and economy aspects. We also discovered why Buddhism was rooted so deeply inside the life of Thais. In Chapter 4, we discussed certain effective mission strategies used by CCEC to outreach people who believe in Buddhism. These mission strategies include evangelism, training preachers, preparing successors, and community services.

Abstract:
'Language Ecology and Language Planning in Chiang Rai, Thailand' had three main aims: to study the language ecology and sub-ecologies of Chiang Rai province, to study the factors and forces that affect the language ecology, and to study language plans and language policies in Chiang Rai. This study employed two main frameworks: theoretical and methodological framework. The theoretical construct is based on a parameter rich linguistic theory, Ecolinguistics, where concepts and parameters from linguistics and non-linguistics disciplines are employed. The parameter rich theory assists immensely in the understanding of language as it believes that language is interconnected with the world and the world with language. The study was conducted using ethnography as the methodological framework due to it allowing a wide array of data collection methods which include document studies, observation, participant observation, recorded and unrecorded interviews, personal communications and field notes. Moreover, ethnography provided an opportunity to reflect on the researcher's multiple identities and in varying degrees as insider and outsider. Data collection was conducted in Chiang Rai and six villages in three districts; two districts in the Greater Mae Khong Subregion (G1-IS) area namely Chiang Khong and Chiang Saen; and one district in a special economic border zone area Maesai district. The districts were chosen based on economic influences while the six villages were randomly selected. The villages studied were Wiang Mok and Huay Kok villages in Chiang Khong district; Sop Ruak and Santhaat villages in Chiang Saen province; and Phamee and Payaang Chum in Maesai district. Data were also collected from stakeholders concerned in language planning namely government and nongovernment organizations. There were two main findings in accordance with the research aims. Firstly, it was found that the language ecology and sub-ecologies of Chiang Rai province and the villages were dynamic and multiplex. The dynamics and complexities of the ecology and sub-ecologies wee dependent on numerous interactions of different factors and forces. The factors were social educational, geographical, economic, and political/geopolitical. There were four main levels of forces: world level, national level, regional/provincial level, and home level. The interaction of forces could be positive, negative or neutral to the health of the language ecology. Secondly, with regards to language planning and policy, it was found that there was no explicit minority language policy or planning in Thailand. Two types of language policy were found in Chiang Rai and Thailand: a top-down policy and quasi-bottom up policy. Both policies were education related. The top-down policies were comprised of an implicit national language policy and an explicit foreign language policy, especially for English and Chinese. The quasi-bottom up policy was the only local policy found in Chiang Rai where a Chinese language curriculum was developed at the local level but with a national economic related strategic vision. The study also suggested that future language planning and policies in Thailand should take into account the findings of language ecology and sub-ecologies in Chiang Rai. Language plans should recognise the effect of those factors and forces that will affect other languages within the same ecology.
