Authors : Djaid Hakima .

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between scientific research and legislative development across contemporary legal systems. Through analyzing diverse global models and case studies, it demonstrates how methodical scientific inquiry enhances regulatory outcomes. The study explores institutional mechanisms facilitating knowledge transfer from research to legislation, identifying successful patterns and challenges. By examining environmental, public health, economic, and criminal justice domains, it reveals sectoral variations in research utilization. The findings suggest that evidence-based legislation requires continuous institutional innovation, methodological improvement, and enhanced communication between researchers and lawmakers. This research contributes to optimizing legislative quality through systematic incorporation of scientific knowledge while acknowledging the complex political contexts within which laws operate.
