Thailand as a Penetrated Political System
(Honolulu, HI : East-West Center Grantees' Association, 1968) Prizzia, Ross
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of penetration [as a political phenomenon] and its relevance to United States-Thai relations from 1949 to 1968. Before any of the relevant data pertaining to the United States-Thai relations for the given period can be analyzed or categorized, a definition of terms is immediately necessary. Penetration as it will be used here, refers to that particular political phenomenon by which members of a given national society (U.S.) play an active role in exerting influence upon another national society (Thailand). United States’ penetration, as it applies to Thailand, shall be interpreted as the effect produced by official and unofficial Americans on the Thai political system through persuasion and example without the use of force or direct control.
Manpower Survey Project: A Survey of Industry Opinion
(Honolulu Community College, 1973) Prizzia, Ross
The idea for this project was in the making since the fall of 1970 when Mr. Clyde Yoshioka, then Dean of Instruction, entered into serious discussions on the matter with Dr. James W. Thornton, then the provost of Honolulu Community College. It was the feeling of both administrators that detailed information on the extent and performance of the various vocational education programs should be obtained. This information was deemed necessary to ensure sound curriculum planning. The various Trade Advisory Committees felt a need for this kind of information, but as volunteer committees did not have time or resources for such a project. It was wisely perceived that such a comprehensive study would also aid in the many requests for supportive data on HCC programs from the fiscal officers of University of Hawaii at Bachman Hall, and further aid in consideration of the guidelines of the P.P.B.S. Moreover, there was a real need to have the instructors go out and meet and establish rapport with the community of industries who eventually receive the HCC trained students. It was largely because of this foresight and perception of the needs of the vocational education programs that the Manpower Survey Project finally became a reality in 1973.
Thailand: Student Activism and Political Change
(D. K. Book House, 1974-06) Prizzia, Ross; Sinsawasdi, Narong
This book should be of special interest to those interested in student oriented social movements in particular and Thai politics and culture in general. It is advised that the novice to behavioral research who may find Chapter VI overly tedious, should perhaps skip over the data analysis and read only the summary statement at the end of the chapter to enjoy the full continuity of the book. However, it is hoped that the avid behavioralist will scrutinize the techniques employed inChapter VI. Overall, the book attempts to give the reader some insights into the past, present, and future role of student activism in the politics of Thailand. Particular emphasis is placed on the cultural determinants of Thai political behavior and the eventual effect of the student revolt of October 1973 on Thai politics in the future. Chapter I introduces and discusses the primary concepts and hypothesis regarding student activists and their role in the politics of developing nations. Also presented in this Chapter is a brief and general inventory of the most frequently encountered assertions in the literature on student politics, with a specific focus on the nature of student protests and the protesters, and factors related to individual student participation in protest activities. In this chapter the role of the university as a major factor in politicizing students is explored in the general context of social movements for political change. This is followed by Chapter II which traces the history and development of higher educational institutions and student activism in Thailand up to the over-throw of the Thanom government in October, 1973. Thereafter, Chapter III gives a detailed account of the "Ten Days in October", which pitted army and police against students and other civilians in some of the bloodiest battles ever to occur in Bangkok. Chapter IV explains from a sociological perspective some cultural aspects of Thai political behavior, and their relationship to student activism. Chapter V builds from the base of the Thai case study and a general review of the literature and available statistics to expand into a comparative analysis of Thailand with seven other politically and culturally diverse countries. Relevant and available statistical data are incorporated in a comparative study of the eight countries across several dimensions of educational and participation characteristics. Data on the Thai students are integrated in the comparative analysis of aggregate and survey data taken from a review of the research and case studies in each of the eight nations (i.e., India, Thailand, U.S.A., West Germany, France, Brazil, Chile, and Japan). The data included measures of the following participation and educational characteristics: domestic conflict (i.e., riots and demonstrations), field of study, enrollment, unemployment, membership in student political action organizations, and participation in demonstrations. Chapter VI tests empirically some of the hypothesis and assumptions presented in the previous chapters. The first section of this chapter test the relationship of background and socialization factors to students' pol itical predispositions and degree of participation. Using a variety of statistical techniques, data on Thai students were "plugged into" the original and alternative simulation models in an attempt to test the validity of the general hypothesis. In the second section of this chapter several hypothesis were tested through a comparative analysis of survey data on Thai and American students collected in 1972. Chapter VII speculates on the future of student activism in Thailand's political development based on a descriptive analysis of past performance of Thai democratic institutions and pol itical trends since October 1973. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Som-pom Sangchai, Professor of Public Administration, who while a senior fellow at the East-West Center graciously reviewed several drafts of this book, and extend a special thanks to Linda Ching, who persevered in typing all drafts of this publication.

Oppositional Forces in Thailand
(Journal of Asian Affairs, 1984) Prizzia, Ross
There are many and varied oppositional forces in Thailand that range from the outlawed Communist Party of Thailand (CPT), which seeks to overthrow the Thai government, to the Thai Parliament which is usually legitimized as part of the government for brief periods between military coups. This paper focuses on the CPT, Parliament, and Thai labor movement by presenting in historical perspective the origins, nature, and influence of each as an oppositional force in Thai politics. Special attention is given to the role of these oppositional forces during and after the dramatic shifts in Thai politics precipitated by the student revolution of 1973, the military coup of 1976, the increased hostilities between China and Vietnam in 1979, and the abortive coup by the Thai "young turk" military faction in 1981.
