Dynamics of prachakhom (village civil society) and civil society movement in Northeast Thailand after a coup d'etat in 2006

这是对乡村公民社会作为泰国东北地区公民社会产生和发展的基础的研究的结果。在我们过去的项目中，我们讨论了泰国公民社会运动形成的可能性。我们的结论是，“Prachakhom”或村庄公民社会是形成过程的基础，因此，我们研究了培育Prachakhom的途径。Prachakhom作为民众聚集的一部分，是公民社会运动的一个组成部分，是一个源于西方的新理念。因此，泰国公民社会运动的主要焦点在于对普拉查霍姆的研究。可以说，村庄公民社会可以分为两种类型：一种是替代发展范式所阐述的真正从基层诞生的，另一种是因应政府政策而产生的。研究表明，在他信总理的项目实施过程中出现的乡村公民社会，如一个Tambon One Products(OTOP)项目、乡村基金、成立Tambon行政组织(TAO)，是第二类Prachakhom，缺乏人民在社区中的真正参与。因此，本研究的目的是从基层层面研究媒介、网络、教育机构、因素和动机在乡村公民社会形成中的作用，从而为未来公民社会运动的形成奠定基础。在他信被流放后，我们的研究必须采用新的研究方向。

This is a result of the research on prachakhom (village civil society) as the basis for the emergence of civil society and development in Thailand's northeastern region.In our past projects, we have discussed the possibilities of the formation of civil society movement in Thailand. We concluded that "Prachakhom" or village civil society was the foundation of the formation process, and, therefore, the approaches to foster Prachakhom were studied.Prachakhom as a gathering of people has been an integral part of Civil Society Movement is a new idea, derived from the West. The principal focus of the civil society movement in Thailand, therefore, lies with the study of Prachakhom. Arguably, village civil society can be divided into two types : one is truly born out of the grassroots as expounded in the alternative development paradigm while the other arises in response to government policies. The research shows that the village civil societies which emerged during the implementation of Prime Minister Thaksin's projects, such as One Tambon One Product (OTOP) Project, the Village Fund, the establishment of Tambon Administrative Organization (TAO), were the second type of Prachakhom, which lacked the true participation of the people in the communities. Therefore, the research objective is to study the role of the media, network, educational institutions, factors and motives which engender the village civil society from the grassroots that will lead to the formation of civil society movement in the future. After Thaksin's banishment, our research has to adopted new direction of research.
