Problems and Prospects of Multidisciplinary Approach in Legal Research

Abstract

Man has traversed a long way in his endeavour to advance in each and every field. All the achievements man has attended are due to his curiosity and abundant inquisitiveness. Man is the most wonderful creature on this earth, having a well developed brain. This organ has helped a lot to fulfill his desires. With the help of his innovative character and inquisitive tilt, man has discovered many mysteries and secrets of the earth. As a result, today our modern society is full of astonishing advancements and magnificent inventions. Academically our progress is par excellence. But still, we have to go a long way. Apart from scientific developments and inventions, the concept of globalization, liberalization, post modernism, cybernism have given rise to many problems and challenges. All these problems are peculiar and enormous in nature. They are the subject matter of various disciplines. Evidently, a solution to these problems can not be reached at with the help of research in only one discipline. Rather, they need concerted effort of one and all disciplines. Therefore, though basically they belong to one discipline but necessarily transgress into the periphery of other disciplines too. This overlapping leads to a strange situation, because these problems demand assistance, co-operation and involvement of all the foreign disciplines. This paper highlights the need, significance, problem and prospects of a multidisciplinary approach in legal research.
