Resumen

Combatir la corrupción, ordenar las prácticas empresariales y regular el uso de la inteligencia artificial son sólo algunos de los retos de la sociedad actual a los que se enfrenta la investigación sociojurídica. Estos retos son a menudo de carácter transnacional, por lo que requieren un conjunto de herramientas analíticas adecuadas para examinar fenómenos que trascienden el espacio y el tiempo. La teoría de sistemas de Niklas Luhmann ofrece una caja de herramientas de este tipo para examinar las complicadas prácticas comunicativas en el mundo globalizado de hoy. Este número especial reúne a investigadores sociojurídicos júniores y séniores del Sur Global y del Norte Global que ilustran y ejemplifican cómo el marco teórico de los sistemas de Luhmann puede aplicarse y debatirse teóricamente con el fin de analizar cuestiones sociojurídicas de relevancia para el mundo actual. Este artículo presenta en primer lugar la motivación y el objetivo del número especial. A continuación, el artículo introduce conceptos clave de la teoría de sistemas de Niklas Luhmann y la sociología del derecho, seguido de una presentación de los artículos que constituyen el Número Especial.
