Balkin (1996, p. 958) defined interdisciplinarity as ‘a scholar’s attempt to use the information, approaches, questions, and...
3.2.2 Typologies of Interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinary research may range from borrowing knowledge or theoretical frameworks to adopting another discipline’s means of analysis. Sullivan (2002, p. 1221) refers to three roles for interdisciplinary work in law: 1. 1. Applying the tools of the other discipline to ‘improve knowledge about the law and institutions governed by law’. 2. 2. Applying the tools of the other discipline to ‘improve the practice of law and the quality of legal rules and institutions’. 3. 3. ‘Viewing the law t...
