Abstract

The complexity of modern regulation demonstrates that law can no longer be understood merely as a set of norms operating linearly through formal institutions. Technological development, institutional fragmentation, overlapping norms, sectoral interdependence, and rapid social change have transformed regulation into a complex, dynamic, and often unpredictable system. This article aims to analyze the limitations of classical legal system theory, particularly Lawrence M. Friedman’s framework of legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture, in explaining the complexity of modern regulation. This study employs normative legal research using conceptual, statutory, and theoretical approaches. The article argues that classical legal system theory remains important as an analytical foundation, but it is insufficient to explain the non-linear, adaptive, and cross-sectoral dynamics of contemporary regulation. Therefore, this article proposes an original conceptual framework called the Adaptive and Reflexive Law Model, which integrates legal system theory, social systems theory, complexity theory, legal complexity, reflexive law, and adaptive regulation. This model emphasizes normative coherence, institutional coordination, social responsiveness, feedback-based evaluation, regulatory complexity management, public participation, adaptive regulatory capacity, as well as legitimacy and legal certainty.

Abstract

The recognition of indigenous peoples in the Indonesian legal system has been constitutionally affirmed through Article 18B paragraph (2) and Article 28I paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. However, such recognition remains theoretically problematic because indigenous communities and their customary laws are often considered legally valid only after being validated by the state. This article aims to examine the recognition of indigenous peoples from the perspective of legal pluralism, criticize the dominance of state-centered legal positivism, and propose a reconstruction of indigenous recognition based on substantive legal pluralism. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, case, and legal-philosophical approaches. The analysis shows that the recognition of indigenous peoples in Indonesia still reflects weak legal pluralism, as customary law has not been fully treated as a normative order equal to state law. The novelty of this article lies in the development of substantive legal pluralism as a legal-theoretical framework to shift indigenous recognition from a formal-administrative model toward a substantive-participatory model. This article argues that customary law should not be reduced to social custom, but should be understood as living law that possesses social validity, is obeyed, and operates within indigenous communities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of lecturers in enhancing the discipline of sixth-semester A Civic Education students through Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder its implementation. The methodological framework employed in this study is characterised by a descriptive qualitative approach, combining techniques such as interviews, observational studies and the analysis of relevant documentation. The findings indicate that lecturers fulfil their roles as role models, facilitators, mentors and motivators, consistently enforcing educational regulations that lead to improved student discipline regarding attendance, assignment submission and collaboration in group work. Contributing factors include educational motivation, collaborative efforts amongst colleagues, and faculty expertise, whilst constraints include time-related constraints, variations in student ability, and low levels of participation amongst certain students. The implementation of PBL is effective in fostering a disciplined character amongst students.
