Feminist Legal Theory (FLT) is a groundbreaking thought against the enactment of the law against women. As one of the schools of thought, the distinctiveness of FLT can not be freely explained. The explanation of this will only be done precisely by the 'umbrella philosophy' called the paradigm. Through the paradigm, FLT will be placed in one paradigm, according to its ontology, epistemology, and methodology. In summary, the purpose of this paper is to create a mapping of legal philosophy to FLT. Based on the discussion, FLT can eventually be mapped as one of the flows within the Critical Theory et. al. paradigm.

While orthodox legal theory has purported to be gender-blind, it often neglects or in some instances even ignores the position of women. This silence has been criticized by feminist theorists who have placed discrimination against, and the subordination of, women firmly on the jurisprudential agenda. It is a development that has had an enormous impact on legal education. It extends also to almost every branch of the law and legal system. This chapter examines the key elements of feminist legal theory, including the following: the origins of feminism; and legal feminisms (liberal feminism, radical feminism, postmodern feminism, and difference feminism).

In 2019, the Law was finally revised thus the discriminating set of minimum</div><div>age for marriage was abolished, and the minimum age was set into 19 years old for both women and men. Koalisi 18+ is a civil society network in Indonesia, which work to abolish legalized child marriage through the revision of Marriage Law.

The Law

This chapter keeps us in the domain of legal theory and legal philosophy and discusses how the vagueness of the law explains why different people interpret the law differently. It also places emphasis on the importance of the law’s interpretation and provides a framework that ought to guide our interpretation of law so as to maximise our prospect of reaching jurisdictional interoperability. That framework consists of three main guiding principles: (1) ‘fairness’, (2) ‘consequence focus’, and (3) ‘harmonisationalism’. Further, it discusses some common, and particularly unhelpful, approaches to legal interpretation.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana politik hukum perlindungan pekerja migran perempuan berbasis teori hukum feminis di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Politik hukum perlindungan terhadap pekerja migran perempuan, dapat ditelusuri berdasarkan beberapa regulasi terkait, mulai dari tatanan ideal, konstitusional, legislasi dan implementasi. Undang-undang perlindungan pekerja migran dianggap belum mampu melindungi pekerja migran perempuan Indonesia, tidak ada peraturan khusus terkait perlindungan pekerja migran perempuan dan belum konsisten untuk mengimplementasi berbagai konvensi yang telah diratifikasi terkait perlindungan pekerja migran terutama perempuan, sehingga perlu ditetapkan peraturan khusus terkait perlindungan pekerja migran Indonesia dalam rangka mewujudkan instrumen hukum perlindungan pekerja migran yang responsif terhadap kebutuhan pekerja migran perempuan Indonesia. Teori hukum feminis mendesak, pemerintah untuk menciptakan regulasi, terutama terkait perlindungan pekerja migran perempuan yang menempatkan perempuan pada posisi yang istimewa. This research aims to analyze how is the politics of law of the protection of female migrant workers is based on the feminist legal theory in Indonesia. This research uses a normative juridical approach. The results of the study indicate that the politcs of law of the protection of female migrant workers can be traced based on several related regulations, ranging from ideal, constitutional, legislative and implementation arrangements. The law on the protection of migrant workers is deemed unable to protect Indonesian female migrant workers, there are no specific regulations relating to the protection of female migrant workers and has not been consistent in implementing ratified conventions related to the protection of migrant workers, especially women, so special regulations need to be stipulated regarding migrant workers protection Indonesia in order to realize a legal instrument for the protection of migrant workers who is responsive to the needs of Indonesian women migrant workers. Feminist legal theory urges the government to create regulations, especially related to the protection of female migrant workers who place women in a special position.

The Relationship

AbstractThe relationship between the law and masculinity has not been as thoroughly examined as the relationship between the law and feminism or, more generally, between the law and gender. Yet, the reach of masculinity stretches deep into the very fiber of the law. Masculinity has for too long served as an invisible bedrock on which the law founded both its substance and method. The struggle for formal equality during the last half century sought the elimination of the masculinist bias, but has only exposed the extent of the entrenchment. The popular idea is that the law exists in a removed and exalted position where it sits in judgement of a pre-existing and fully formed masculinity. Indeed, much of the internal coherence of the law is premised on the integrity of the subject and the propagation of sexual difference. Thus, the law is precluded from acknowledging or engaging with its own productive power and vacuously characterizes itself as a neutral arbiter. Today, while significant changes occur in sex and sexuality, the study of masculinity appears theoretically stagnant.Part I of this paper distinguishes between masculinity studies and the men's movement and explains the relationship of each to feminist theory. Part II looks at how the power of the law works and how masculinity studies is an effective tool to help understand how that power manifests and is employed. Part III examines the relationship between feminist legal theory and masculinity studies with a particular focus on two areas where I view masculinity studies as having successfully employed insights from feminist theory. Finally, Part IV considers four areas where I suggest masculinity studies could better incorporate certain insights from feminist theory, which would result in a more rigorous understanding of the relationship among power, masculinity, and law, and point masculinity studies in a more nuanced direction. To advance this critique, the paper analyzes underlying arguments that support the power of law based in classic liberal political theory. It employs recurrent critiques of the law, and of liberalism more generally, found in Feminist Legal Theory, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, and Critical Legal Studies to reveal the law as always already intertwined with masculinity.

В современной методологии юриспруденции происходит переход от изучения состо­яний ее объекта, которыми выступают право и государство, к постижению этого объек­та в его изменениях и превращениях. Две подсистемы методологии юриспруденции, подсистема обращенная к состоянию права и государства; и подсистема обращенная к изменениям права и государства, — получают свое отображение в концептуальной форме, методологических подходах, методах, специфических понятиях. Показательны перемены в содержании методологии юриспруденции, где определяю­щее значение имеют методологические подходы, определяющие стратегию исследова­тельских поисков во взаимосвязи юриспруденции с правом и государством. Среди наи­более характерных подходов антропологический, аксиологический, цивилизационный, синергетический и герменевтический — определяют плюралистичность современной методологии и свидетельствуют о становлении новой парадигмы методологии юриспру­денции.   In modern methodology of jurisprudence there is a transition from the study the states of its object to its comprehension in changes and transformations. Hence the two subsystems of methodology of jurisprudence: subsystem facing the states of the law and the state as well as their components and aspects; and subsystem facing the changes of the law and the state in general and their constituents. These subsystems of methodology of jurisprudence receive its reflection in conceptual form, methodological approaches, methods, specific concepts. Methodology of jurisprudence should not be restricted to the methodology of legal theory. In this regard, it is an important methodological question about subject of jurisprudence. It is proposed to consider the subject of jurisprudence as complex, covering both the law and the state in their specificity, interaction and integrity. Indicative changes in the content methodology of jurisprudence are the usage of decisive importance methodological approaches that govern research strategy searches in conjunction with the law and the state. Among the most characteristic of modern development approaches: anthropological, axiological, civilization, synergistic and hermeneutic. Modern methodology of jurisprudence is pluralistic in nature alleging various approaches to the law and the state. Marked approaches allow the formation of a new paradigm methodology of jurisprudence.

This chapter takes us into the domain of legal theory and legal philosophy as it places the questions of Internet jurisdiction in a broader theoretical, and indeed philosophical, context. Indeed, it goes as far as to (1) present a definition of what is law, (2) discuss what are the law’s tools, and (3) to describe the roles of law. In addition, it provides distinctions important for how we understand the role of jurisdictional rules both in private international law and in public international law as traditionally defined. Furthermore, it adds law reform tools by introducing and discussing the concept of ‘market sovereignty’ based on ‘market destroying measures’––an important concept for solving the Internet jurisdiction puzzle.

This chapter surveys the field of feminist legal theory (FLT) as a discipline in conversation, and in some ways allied, with children’s rights. After briefly reviewing the development of feminist legal theory, the chapter explores relevant debates among feminists and then discusses several feminist legal critiques and methods of relevance to children’s rights. The chapter ends by considering ways in which feminist legal theory and children’s rights are in conversation and by exploring the potential for newer variants of feminist legal theory to suggest new directions in children’s rights strategies.
