The Possibility of Studying the Adoption of the Rule of Law in Thailand Constitutional System through the Concept of Constitutional Import

Abstract

The Concept of Constitutional Import is one of the approaches in the study of comparative constitutional law. It focuses on examining the complex dynamics of transferring constitutional legal ideas from one jurisdiction to another, as well as the actions or events that lead to changes in these ideas within a new context. This work aims to present preliminary considerations on the concept of constitutional import and to highlight that this approach is a burgeoning trend in the field of legal scholarship internationally. In Thailand, there are already examples of academic works utilizing the concept of constitutional import as a framework for studying various issues. Furthermore, this work seeks to explore the potential application of the concept of constitutional import as a framework for studying the process of importing the Rule of Law into Thailand’s constitutional system. The objective is to evaluate how the Rule of Law has been integrated into Thailand’s constitutional system, identifying any challenges or obstacles that require thorough understanding to ensure appropriate adaptation and refinement in the future.
