Abstract

The purpose of his research paper is to analyze the origins of, or the factors shaping, the formulation of the education reform strategy in the three southernmost provinces at its formative stage. The paper has chosen the education strategy to create peace in the three provinces in 2005-2008 as its case study. This period coincided with the era of the Thaksin Shinawatra government. The analysis focuses on the political factors contributing to the formulation of the strategy, or to the decision to bring relevant problems into the policy agenda. The result of the study, which has followed a framework for political analysis developed by Thomas Dye, shows that the education reform strategy arose from five political factors, namely, public opinion, the ruling elite’s views, the influence of political parties, interest groups, and the bureaucracy. Each factor exerted influence on different aspects of the policy formulation.
