Maitlandian pluralism revival

Recover the Maitland tradition as a practical framework: treat law and public policy as products of layered, intermediate institutions (churches, guilds, voluntary associations) that mediate between individual rights and state power. Use historical method (close, contextual reading of legal evolution) to resist one‑size‑fits‑all technocratic or market‑only solutions and to design governance that preserves civic capacity. — Bringing Maitland’s pluralism into contemporary debates offers a concrete, historically rooted alternative to both untrammeled laissez‑faire and centralized technocracy, with implications for decentralization, regulatory design, and institutional reform.
