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，理解法律程序和社会程序之间的相互关系需要了解全球互动。在分析全球进程方面，特别是在通常被归类为从现代化国家到工业化国家的边缘国家的领域，跨国信息流一直不平衡。为了开始纠正这种不平衡，法律和社会协会将于1991-92年冬季在东南亚主办一次会议，大约有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层面。会议有三个目的：(1)通过开发共享的概念框架，使来自不同研究传统的学者能够欣赏和使用彼此的途径、方法和成果，为东南亚和西方社会法学学者未来的合作研究建立知识基础；(2)使用双重视角，既考虑跨国进程对当地政治和认识论的影响，又考虑当地解释语境重塑跨国影响的方式，从而有助于发展一种关于法律多元化的全球主义观点；以及(3)通过分析该地区不同群体在制定针对宗教运动、人权要求和国际女权主义的法律回应方面如何相互影响，促进对东南亚跨国社会法律程序的了解。通过将跨国问题更明确地放在首位，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。会议文件和介绍性论文将以编辑后的卷出版，其中将讨论发展法律多元化的全球观点所涉及的理论问题。除了有助于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国际学者共同体。

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.
