This project involves the dissertation research of an anthropology student in a tribal area of Thailand. The student will examine how local tribal peoples have changed their social organization in response to government activities in the region. He hypothesizes that the recent increase in local-community social hierarchies is related to access to government programs which provide access to income. His method will be to focus on three villages selected to vary along the dimension of local- state interactions. Using participant observation and structured interviews, he will study how people think of their relationships with the state institutions they are aware of. He will conduct weekly economic surveys in these villages as well as a wider socio-economic survey of an additional 8 villages. This research is important because tribal peoples everywhere are in intimate contact with state (and international) programs. Understanding how one regional case has evolved can help decision makers understand how to influence people in similar areas to change their behavior to stimulate beneficial economic development.

该项目涉及泰国某部落地区一名人类学专业学生的学位论文研究。学生将研究当地部落人民如何改变他们的社会组织，以应对该地区的政府活动。他假设，最近地方社区社会等级的增加与获得政府项目有关，这些项目提供了获得收入的途径。他的方法将是专注于三个村庄，这些村庄在地方与州之间的互动方面有所不同。通过参与者观察和结构化访谈，他将研究人们如何看待他们与他们所了解的国家机构的关系。他将在这些村庄每周进行经济调查，并对另外8个村庄进行更广泛的社会经济调查。这项研究很重要，因为世界各地的部落人民都与国家(和国际)项目密切接触。了解一个地区性案例是如何演变的，可以帮助决策者了解如何影响类似地区的人们改变他们的行为，以刺激有益的经济发展。
