Summary:碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 東南亞研究所 === 95 === This thesis aims to analyize the political changes in Thailand’s Thaksin Shinawatra era which covers the fulfillment of Thaksin’s first administration (2001-2004) as well as the short second administration terminated by a military coup (2005-2006). The Thaksin regime carried out the missions on electoral system reform and party politics development offered by the 1997 constitution. Thaksin formed the first majority government based on one party in Thai politics and won a landslide victory in the second term election that demonstrates an unprecedented absolute majority in Thai political history. However, this solid regime suddenly overthrown by the military and the representative democracy terminated at the same moment. Why? This research tries to explore the factors of the stabilities and variation of Thaksin regime so as to demonstrate that Thai tradition political culture still dominates modern Thai politics. The fall of Thaksin seems to indicate that moral legitimacy bypasses legal legitimacy and Thai politics might come back to the semi-democracy before the 1997 constitution.
