Abstract

This study of legal pluralism in Indonesia focuses on customary (adat) law and how local government acknowledgment of adat communities affects the plural legal order. Using legal anthropology, socio-legal study, and politics of law approaches, this research applies ethnography involving qualitative and comparative techniques to Kasepuhan communities in Sukabumi and Lebak. Findings include: (1) local recognition of adat communities in conjunction with adat village and adat forest strengthened adat law, impacting mainly territorial law and village politics; (2) legal pluralism is processual, dynamic, contested and renegotiated by factors including stigmatisation and the capacity of the nation-state to manage diversity.
