Abstract

Provincial clans and dynasties have long been crucial in Thai electoral politics. Their influence was felt since before the 1969 poll. Post-1988 and post-1992 political space gave clans room to expand in power. But their sway has been interrupted by several factors, including military coups, changing constitutions, and national transformations. Thailand's March 2019 general election, December 2020 provincial administrative organization elections, and March 2021 subdistrict administrative organization elections demonstrated the persistence of provincial clan influence owing partly to the 2019 end of military dictatorship but also to the needs by national parties to partner with provincial political families to achieve success and finally because local clans saw an opportunity to revitalize their power. In 2022 Thailand, provincial clans and dynasties appear to be alive and well. This study examines the historical evolution of provincial dynasties involved in Thai electoral politics in four different provinces. The study analyzes the reasons why only some provinces have experienced clan (familial) domination, strategies for and obstacles to dynastic family control over provincial politics, and the future of dynastic provincial families in Thailand's democratic future.

省级王朝在泰国选举政治中的持久权力

长期以来，省级部族和王朝一直是泰国选举政治的关键。他们的影响力在1969年投票之前就已经显现出来了。1988年后和1992年后的政治空间给了部族权力扩张的空间。但他们的影响力受到了一些因素的干扰，包括军事政变、宪法变化和国家转型。泰国2019年3月大选，2020年12月省级行政机构选举，2021年3月的分区行政组织选举表明，省级部族的影响力持续存在，部分原因是2019年军事独裁的结束，但也因为国家政党需要与省级政治家族合作以取得成功，最后是因为地方部族看到了重振权力的机会。2022年，泰国的省级部族和王朝似乎还很活跃。本研究考察了四个不同省份的省级王朝参与泰国选举政治的历史演变。本研究分析了只有一些省份经历了氏族（家族）统治的原因，王朝家族控制省级政治的策略和障碍，以及王朝省级家族在泰国民主未来的未来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
