The Acts of Nationality of 1961, 1966, 1992/1, 1992/2, and 2008, and the Revolutionary Council Announcement of 1972 will be approached by discourse analysis. The language used in the five Acts and the Revolutionary Council Announcement of 1972 will be analyzed to detect how significance and identity are produced and reproduced. By reviewing literature, this article further examines the ways in which the nationality discourse constitutes the lives of transnational peoples in the Thai-Lao border of Ubon Ratchathani province.

Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, As a Sustainable Model1
Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, as a Sustainable Model1 Bonnie Pacala Brereton Abstract—Wat Chaisi in Sawatthi village, Sawatthi District, located about twenty kilometers from the bustling provincial capital of Khon Kaen, is a unique example of local cultural heritage preservation that was accomplished solely through local stakeholders. Its buildings, as well as the 100 year-old murals on the ordination hall, have been maintained and are used regularly for merit- making and teaching. The effort was initiated by the abbot and is maintained through the joint effort of the wat community, Khon Kaen Municipality, and various individuals and faculties at Khon Kaen University. This paper will examine the role of local leadership in promoting local cultural heritage. Introduction Of the more than 40,000 Buddhist wats in Thailand seventeen percent, or nearly 7,000, are abandoned.2 Of those still in use, many are becoming increasingly crammed with seemingly superfluous new structures, statues, and decorations, funded by people seeking fame or improvement in their karmic status. Still others are thriving because of the donations they attract through their association with what is sometimes called “popular Buddhism,” a hodgepodge of beliefs in magical monks, amulets, saints, and new rituals aimed at bringing luck and financial success (Pattana 2012). Yet countless others are in a moribund state, in some cases tended by one or two elderly, frail monks who lack the physical and financial resources to maintain them. Both situations are related to the loss of cultural heritage, as countless unique 1 This paper is adapted from one presented at the Fifth International Conference on Local Government, held in Palembang, Indonesia, September 17-19, 2014. -

A Lesson Learnt from Pak Mun Dam
Woraya Som-in and Savitri Gadavanij Hydropower Dam and Development, Whose Development and for Whom?: A Lesson Learnt from Pak Mun Dam Woraya Som-in* and Savitri Gadavanij** Abstract Pak Mun hydropower dam is one of several government’s development projects in which emerged from the claim of national security and rural development.

Such actions are undertaken according to the 1999 TTM Knowledge Protection 5 Act and in line with local and international laws, agreements, rules and regulations, for example: (1) the World Intellectual Property Organization, or WIPO, and meetings of the World Intellectual Property Organization Intergovernmental Committee, WIPO IGC, on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore; (2) the Conventional on Biological Diversity, CBD; (3) the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from Their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity; and (4) the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Situation of Thai Traditional Medical Knowledge Protection in Thailand 207 Health Profi 2016.indd 207 9/21/2560 BE 21:02 Heritage, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and Thailand’s Plant Varieties Protection Act B.E. -
