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

本研究探讨法律的意识和人身伤害在东南亚社会从根本上改变了全球化。 它探讨了自我和社区，伤害和补救，法律的和非法律的对伤害的反应，以及因果关系和泰国清迈负责任的想法的概念。这项研究代表了一个不寻常的机会，以解决有关法律，社会变革和民事诉讼的问题，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级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、诉讼当事人和其他可以评论实践和看法的观察员的额外采访将补充分析。 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。 %本研究探讨法律的意识和人身伤害在东南亚社会从根本上改变了全球化。 它探讨了自我和社区、伤害和补救、对伤害的法律的和非法律的反应的概念，以及泰国清迈关于因果关系和负责任的想法。这项研究代表了一个不寻常的机会，以解决有关法律，社会变革和民事诉讼的问题，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级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、诉讼当事人和其他可以评论实践和看法的观察员的额外采访将补充分析。 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.
