ABSTRACT

The objectives of this research are to study and propose certain legal mechanisms to

strengthen citizenship for performing civic duties under the Constitution of the Kingdom of

Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), and to study and propose other related tools and measures for a
balance between the performance of civic duties and the exercise of rights and liberties

under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017). This study was

conducted by the qualitative approach based on the documentary research. The results of
this study were described below.

1. According to 6 citizenship frameworks, which consist of self-responsibility and self-

reliance, respect to the principle of equality, respect to differences, respect to other
people’s rights, respect to rules, and social and common responsibility, it was found that

most of the said citizenship frameworks have been already imposed in the present

Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand. Except respect to the principle of equality is not
defined as a duty of citizens. But it is only imposed that the State and State agency respect

to individuals’ rights.

2. Forms of formulating the fundamental citizenship linked to rights and liberties in
Thailand and other countries. The study found that there are differences due to the

background and history of each country, organizations that provide education specifically for

citizenship and the curriculum for the teaching and learning process of citizenship. When
considering “values” taking effect to citizenship in various countries, it was found that many

countries have “mutual values” in several facets that are awareness, self-responsibility and

social responsibility, respect to rights of other people and respect to differences. However,
there are “different values” such as acceptance of diversity in the multi-cultural society,

valuing morality, ethics, and customs and tradition, etc.

3. Models of performing civic duties making the claim for rights and liberties
meaningful. In term of national systems and mechanisms are political and governmental

institutions, political parties, government authorities, private business organizations, non-

profit organizations and mass media. While local systems and mechanisms are family,
Community and school or educational institute. When considering the educational

management curriculum, it is found that it must cover both the education management in

formal curriculum management and non-formal curriculum management. Factors for success
