Abstract

This article aims to study and analyze the issues related to the changes after The Siamese Regime Change in 1932 by proposing a theoretical explanation along with historical facts, especially in the dimensions of the social formation of Khana Ratsadon (the People's Party). The author uses the concept of “political installation” as a tool to seek knowledge and create new explanations. The results of previous studies were explained by the fact that in the past there have been four ways of studying guidelines that were compiled roughly in order to expand the body of knowledge of such educational issues. For this study, the author proposed a fifth way of studying the guidelines. By calling such a group “a group of works that focus on the process of the struggle for political power”, the study found that the political formation of the People's Party gathered members from many powerful groups that had different social status, social power and political ideology in Siam. Nevertheless, they were united under the same common wills and interests to operate and struggle to become the Hegemony group or the dominant force in political society that formed a large historical bloc. After their success in seizing power, rifts and strife between the various factions in the People’s Party started to emerge. These rifts caused the transformation of small groups within the Party, but the structural integrity remained in the larger holistic political movement.
