From the author: Creation of a stable nation-state is an important goal for developing countries, because it contributes to political orderliness and economic growth. This article analyzes the ethnic Chinese as economic and regional factors in Thailand. Key elements in which governmental policy has its greatest effect are immigration, nationality, economic and social factors, education, and religion. Analysis of these elements reveals an encompassing strategy to influence the social and religious aspects of society in order to create a new Thai identity.
