Personal Injuries and Legal Consciousness in Thailand: The Role of Law

本研究探讨在全球化的影响下，东南亚社会的法律意识与人身伤害。它探讨了自我和社区的概念，伤害和补救，对伤害的法律和非法律反应，以及在泰国清迈的因果关系和负责任的想法。这项研究提供了一个不寻常的机会来解决法律、社会变革和民事诉讼方面的问题，这些问题是法律和社会科学领域的基础，并通过询问全球互动的加剧如何影响诉讼和其他实践以及对人身伤害的看法，将这些问题扩展到传统框架之外。收集数据的方法包括对省法院的人身伤害案件档案进行文本分析，以及对遭受人身伤害但不一定选择提出索赔的个人进行深入访谈。对僧侣、医生、村长、律师、法官、诉讼人以及其他能够对实践和看法发表评论的观察员的访谈将补充分析。这项研究将扩大我们对无数伤害、索赔、谈判、调解和诉讼的理解。本研究探讨因全球化而彻底改变的东南亚社会中的法律意识与人身伤害。它探讨了自我和社区的概念，伤害和补救，对伤害的法律和非法律反应，以及在泰国清迈的因果关系和负责任的想法。这项研究提供了一个不寻常的机会来解决法律、社会变革和民事诉讼方面的问题，这些问题是法律和社会科学领域的基础，并通过询问全球互动的加剧如何影响诉讼和其他实践以及对人身伤害的看法，将这些问题扩展到传统框架之外。收集数据的方法包括对省法院的人身伤害案件档案进行文本分析，以及对遭受人身伤害但不一定选择提出索赔的个人进行深入访谈。对僧侣、医生、村长、律师、法官、诉讼人以及其他能够对实践和看法发表评论的观察员的访谈将补充分析。这项研究将扩大我们对无数伤害、索赔、谈判、调解和诉讼的理解。

This research explores legal consciousness and personal injury in a Southeast Asian society radically transformed by globalization. It explores concepts of self and community, injury and remedy, legal and non-legal responses to harm, and ideas about causation and responsibly in Chiangmai, Thailand. The research represents an unusual opportunity to address questions about law, social change, and civil litigation that are fundamental to the field oaf law and social science and to extend such questions beyond conventional frameworks by asking how the intensification of global interactions affects litigation and other practices and perceptions of personal injuries. Methods being used to collect data include textual analysis of personal injury casefiles in the provincial court and in-depth interviews with individuals who have suffered personal injuries but have not necessarily chosen to assert a claim. Additional interviews with monks, doctors, village leaders, lawyers, judges, litigants, and other observers who can comment on practices and perceptions will supplement the analysis. This research will expand our understanding of the myriad of injuries, claims, negotiations, mediation, and litigation. %%% This research explores legal consciousness and personal injury in a Southeast Asian society radically transformed by globalization.
