Abstract
This thesis examines the specific features and administrative methods of the European colonial system established in Southeast Asia during the 19th and 20th centuries. The structural transformation of traditional economies into monoculture, the institutionalization of forced labor via the coolie system, and strategic migration policies are analyzed as defining characteristics of the era. Furthermore, it highlights the territorial partition strategies driven by the geopolitical rivalries of Western empires and the preservation of buffer zones like Siam.
