Potential Impact of the ASEAN Community on the Ministry of Justice’s Operation
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research focuses on the potential impacts of the ASEAN Community on the Ministry of Justice (MOJ)’s operations. By using the scenario technique TAIDA – standing for tracking, analyzing, imaging, deciding and acting (the scope of this research does not cover the phase of acting) – and qualitative research methods like in-depth interview and focus group, the research found that the ASEAN Community will have both constructive and harmful impacts on the operations of nine departments supervised by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. Two surrounding environments of the Justice Ministry’s operations in the ASEAN Community are: the economic growth without fair distribution the multicultural society in Thailand; and the possibility of more social problems with complexity. There are four desired changes preparing for the arrival of the ASEAN Community: revised and reformed relevant laws and regulations; development of administration; good strategies with professional strategic implementation; and networks at both domestic and international levels.
