The Importance of the Claimsmaking Process in Introducing Social Care in Society: Evidence from Channa Industrial Area, Thailand
Keywords:
Claims making, Advocacy, Social CareAbstract
The Claims-making process is important to the implementation of social care in that, it lays out the foundation of why such care is needed. This has emerged as a critical challenge for marginalized groups that have less capacity to voice their needs. Many times, their claims are overlooked by the dominant power in their home county, resulting in a depressed quality of life. In search of this challenge, I attempt to fill this gap through a scope review taking theories around the claims- making process into consideration with the evidence from the marginal groups who protested in Bangkok about the construction of the Chana industrial area in 2020. We found that there are three factors that can potentially influence their claims’ achievability including with: advocacy, dialogue and negotiations, and moral responsibility. We recommend that to successfully claim for social care, there must be a larger number of members who are directly affected by the problem.
