Resumen

Este artículo pretende trazar un mapa de las posibilidades de adoptar la teoría de los sistemas sociales para acoplar tres ámbitos habitualmente aislados: la teoría social, la jurisprudencia y la investigación empírica. Sostiene que estos diferentes usos serían el legado distintivo de la obra de Luhmann para la investigación jurídica. El texto sugiere que las investigaciones interesadas en adoptar un enfoque sistémico para los debates en cada uno de estos tres dominios (o en todos ellos) deberían centrarse en el entrelazamiento entre sistemas interaccionales, decisionales y funcionales. Sin embargo, esto presupone algunas mejoras en la propia descripción de Luhmann del derecho como sistema social. La hipótesis central presentada aquí es que la diferenciación externa de un sistema funcional (su especialización frente a otras comunicaciones que tienen lugar en el entorno social) depende de la diferenciación interna de este sistema, es decir, de las operaciones respaldadas por la propia construcción de instituciones y semánticas funcionales-sistémicas concretas (incluidos los programas decisionales y las autodescripciones).
