Revitalizing
the Law and Development: A Case Study on Land Law in Thailand This
study, co-authored by Tim Sawers J.D. and Philip Von Mehren J.D., analyzes
the relationship between law and land development. The study urges the
reader to re-evaluate the impact legal changes have made on shaping
social and economic change in Thailand. The study evaluates Max Weber's
typology of legal systems, which presupposes that modern law underpins
economic growth, as well as other social theories that have traditionally
not accounted for the role of law. After providing a history of the
development of Thai land law, including original translations of the
ancient Thai Law of three seals, the authors conclude that there is
ample evidence that the law is a driving factor in economic and social
change in Thailand. In particular, they claim that legal changes played
a role in the emergence of commercialized agriculture in Thailand. This
reprinting of their case study has been authorized by the Siam Society
Jorunal.
