Property, Resources, and the Globalization of Legal Systems

9310921 PELUSO该项目将调查在地方和国家财产关系的变化和民族国家在东南亚的建设之间的联系。 该研究将描述和解释符合全球模型的结果相似性的原因，这些相似性在整个研究区域内变化的原因，以及财产问题冲突的来源。 该项目将集中在泰国（从未殖民），马来西亚（英国殖民）和印度尼西亚（以前在荷兰法律下）的网站，提供三种不同的法律的传统的比较。 国家和地方社会法律过程的差异主要来源于殖民前国家之间的差异、中心-边缘关系的差异、地方财产关系的差异以及不同殖民历史的差异。 研究将显示，在国家一级的这些历史差异如何产生不同的方式来处理“习惯”或地方财产关系，从殖民时期过渡到民族国家和市场经济。 该项目将有助于从经验和理论上了解地方财产法和惯例与全球法律的和经济进程之间的关系，特别是这种关系如何影响森林和其他土地资源的分配。 该项目将采用“综合比较”的方法，评估整个区域的地方和国家社会法律进程的相似性和差异如何受到全球变化进程的影响，并对全球变化进程作出贡献。 调查员将从各国的若干来源收集数据：殖民地法律的档案和地方法律的制度的案例、自然环境变化的记录、有关土地管理和交易的法律的文件、各历史时期的地图和土地测量、与地方领导人和法律的咨询人的访谈。 研究将详细分析领土国家构建私有财产制度的不同顺序，以及在何种条件下这些不同顺序导致了国家与地方人民之间以及地方人民之间的冲突。 有鉴于此，该项目将描述和评估这些社会法律过程对理解全球变化的许多影响。 ***

9310921 PELUSO This project will investigate the links between transformations in local and national property relations and the construction of nation states in Southeast Asia. The research will describe and explain the reasons for similarities in outcomes which conform to global models, the reasons for variation within these similarities across the study region, and the sources of conflict over property issues. The project will focus on sites in Thailand (never colonized), Malaysia (colonized by England), and Indonesia (formerly under Dutch law), to provide comparisons across three different legal traditions. Major sources of variation in national and local sociolegal processes include differences among pre- colonial states, in center-periphery relations, in local property relations, and in different colonial histories. The research will show how these historical differences at the state level produced diverse ways of dealing with "customary" or local property relations during the transition from the colonial period to nation states and market economies. The project will contribute to empirical and theoretical understanding of the relationship between local property law and practices and global legal and economic processes, and particularly how this relationship affects the allocation of forest and other land resources. The project will employ the method of "incorporated comparison" to assess how similarities and differences in local and national sociolegal processes across the region were influenced by and contributed to processes of global change. The investigators will collect data from several sources in various countries: cases from both colonial legal archives and local legal systems, records of changes in the natural environment, legal documents concerning land administration and transactions, maps and land surveys across historical periods, and interviews with local leaders and legal practititioners. The research will detail the different sequenc es through which territorial states constructed private property regimes and under what conditions these different sequences led to conflicts between the state and local people and among local people. In this light, the project will describe and assess the many implications of these sociolegal processes for understanding global change. ***
