Tripartite Power

Abstract

The conflicts in Thai society today arise from authority, not from social class. This gave rise to two political power groups; having authority and no authority. The social groups in current Thai political society consist of “deep states ” which have authority and “democracy groups” which have no authority. They are the main conflict in Thai political society today. Each group has latent interests. Therefore, the groups can be coordinated. If both groups were unable to coordinate the latent interests, the conflict will remain in Thai society for a long time. The conflict causes the structure to change in any form, speed and magnitude depending on the conditions of the change such as group power, group pressure especially external forces or global capitalism that come in as support variables.
