The study used methods of documentary research and<br>in-depth interviews for collecting data. The study finds that the important factors leading to<br>adaptations of the Thai student movement are: (1) the change of political landscape in<br>people’s politics in the period of political turmoil (2) the advancement of information<br>technology and the upcoming of new medias (3) the ideological influence of academics on<br>the student movements and (4) the transformation of public universities into regulated<br>universities. These conditions lead to a change in the structure of the student movements by<br>decreasing the role of formal student organizations and increasing the role of independent<br>and informal student movements, diversifying issues of the movements, and much more<br>focusing on identity-based politics. Moreover, these conditions also remodel methods of the<br>student movements’ mobilization into much more qualitative-based method. Likewise, the<br>funding has changed into using a crowd funding method. The strategic movements are<br>focused on expressing their agendas in a much more complex symbolic action and apply their<br>creative thinking to introduce their agendas to the general public for further moving.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Social Development and Management Strategy}, author={Pansuwan, Chayut and Samukkethum, Somsak}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={216–234} }
