  　View Summary

  This research aims to empirically analyze how South American Nikkeis have continued a relationship with their Okinawan host society. This research analyzed 3 points: 1) contact with the host society, 2) networking based on cultural capital, and 3) the succession of cultural capital through the qualitative research. This research focused on 1) migration processes, 2) networks, 3) families, 4) education, 5) occupation, 6) entertainment, and 7)interaction with tourism. In conclusion, it was found that 1) there are many Nikkeis who have established a network of both Okinawan relatives and Nikkeis in Okinawa, 2) many Nikkeis have established relationships through leveraging both Okinawan and Latin American cultural capital in the form of bridging social capital and 3) it is difficult for Nikkeis to pass on their cultural capital to their children in public places such as schools; however, cultural capital and the Nikkei consciousness still guides in the home and can be passed on there.

  　View Summary

  This is a result of research on village civil society (prachakhom) as the basis for the emergence of civil society and development in Thailand's northeastern region. We concluded that prachakhom was the foundation of the formation process for Civil Society. Prachakhom as a gathering of people has been an integral part of Thai society, while the civil society movement was a new idea derived from the West. In this research, we intend to analyze many aspects of civil society movement from the perspective of public sphere, social capital and prachakhom using quantitative and qualitative data. On 22 May 2014, the Royal Thai Armed Forces launched a coup d'etat against the caretaker government of Thailand. The military established a junta called National Council for Peace and Order to govern the nation. It is necessary to consider the influence in the formation process for civil society, especially village civil society, prachakhom.
