Abstract
"The case of irrigation in the Balinese village of Blahpane serves to introduce concepts of legal pluralism. This kind of legal anthropology critiques and reconceives the relations between law and social behavior. The conceptual tools of legal pluralism can improve understanding of water rights, starting from study of local experience amid multiple legal and normative repertoires. The strategic maintenance of subak irrigation rituals, by farmers and government, further illustrates the processes of legal pluralism."
