Localism in perceiving the problem of adat people in forest area: A critical thinking

Abstract

Law as a branch of science does not escape development. This is in line with developments in other branches of science, especially social science. Developments in legal science include many things such as themes, writing, methods, to methodologies. One of the developments of legal science that has attracted quite a lot of interest from legal philosophy thinkers is the development of historical methodologies. There have been many debates by legal experts regarding historical methodology. In this paper, we will present the development of the legal-historical methodology, we can find three major schools of historical-legal methodology, namely narratives, structuralism, and structures. The legal-historical approach can be functioned through the historical method through several approaches to legal research objects. Thus, this approach tries to restore the role of humans or actors (human agency) in legal changes that will determine the path of human life in the future. Legal pluralism through historical studies before making local legal products will be an illustration of how interesting the role of humans as a legal-historical study is.
