Abstract

Although recent scholarship challenges the Eurocentric tradition of comparative law, this decolonial turn lacks a realistic theoretical framework. I argue that decolonial comparative law should reflect the foundational values of indigenous laws, the enduring legacies of colonial transplants, and the adaptive character of normative interaction in modern social fields. I therefore propose adaptive legal pluralism as the cross-cultural framework for reconciling state and indigenous legal orders in an era of globalisation.听
