Conference on Transnational Aspects of Legal Pluralism in Southeast Asia - Winter 1992, Chiangmai, Thailand

社会法学学者已经认识到，理解法律和社会过程之间的相互关系需要对全球相互作用的欣赏。跨国信息流在分析全球进程方面存在不平衡，特别是在通常被列为现代化和工业化国家外围的领域。法律与社会协会试图开始纠正这种不平衡，于1991年至1992年冬季在东南亚主办了一次会议，约有25名学者参加，其中大部分是东南亚人。会议将在泰国清迈举行，重点讨论法律多元化的跨国问题。会议有三个目的：(1)通过发展共享的概念框架，使来自不同研究传统的学者能够欣赏和使用彼此的方法、方法和发现，为东南亚和西方社会法律学者之间未来的合作研究奠定智力基础；(2)通过使用双重视角，考虑跨国过程对当地政治和认识论的影响，以及当地解释背景重塑跨国影响的方式，为发展中的法律多元化的全球主义视角做出贡献；(3)通过分析该地区的各个群体如何在制定对宗教运动，人权要求和国际女权主义的法律反应方面相互影响，从而提高对东南亚跨国社会法律过程的认识。通过将跨国问题更明确地置于最前沿，会议讨论将有助于更好地理解东南亚多元化的起源和意义，以及可以在其中看待东南亚法律和社会的各种解释背景。会议论文和介绍性论文将以编辑过的一册出版，其中将包括对发展关于法律多元主义的全球主义观点所涉及的理论问题的讨论。除了促进我们对跨国社会法律问题的理解外，会议还将有助于建立和加强一个国际学者社区。

Sociolegal scholars have come to recognize that understanding interrelations between legal and social processes requires an appreciation of global interactions. There has been an imbalance in transnational information flows in analyzing global processes particularly in areas commonly classified as peripheral to modernized and industrialized countries. The Law and Society Association, in an attempt to start correcting this imbalance, is sponsoring a conference in Southeast Asia in the winter of 1991-92 with approximately 25 scholars, mostly Southeast Asians. The conference will be held in Chiangmai, Thailand and will focus on transnational dimensions of legal pluralism. The conference has three purposes: (1) to build an intellectual foundation for future collaborative research between Southeast Asian and Western sociolegal scholars by developing shared conceptual frameworks that will enable scholars from different research traditions to appreciate and use each other's approaches, methods, and findings; (2) to contribute to a developing globalist perspective on legal pluralism by using a dual lens that considers both the influence of transnational processes on local politics and epistemologies, and the ways that local interpretive contexts reshape transnational influences; and (3) to advance knowledge about transnational sociolegal processes in Southeast Asia by analyzing how various groups in the region have influenced each other in developing legal responses to religious movements, demands for human rights, and international feminism. By bringing transnational issues more explicitly to the forefront, conference discussions will contribute toward developing a better understanding of the origins and meanings of pluralism in Southeast Asia and of the various interpretive contexts in which Southeast Asian law and society can be viewed. Conference papers and introductory essays will be published in an edited volume which will include a discussion of the theoretical issues involved in developing a globalist perspective on legal pluralism. In addition to contributing to our understanding of transnational sociolegal issues, the conference will help to build and strengthen a community of international scholars.
