From legal consciousness to systems theory

Conciencia jurídica, teoría de los sistemas organizativos, sociología jurídica global, comparación teóricaResumen
Los estudiosos de la sociología jurídica se han mostrado muy favorables a la teoría de la conciencia jurídica. Algunos han abogado por que esa teoría sea adoptada por más estudios jurídicos de Asia; otros han argumentado que dicha aplicación sería considerada inapropiada y traería efectos adversos a la investigación sociojurídica. Este artículo arguye que el diseño teórico de la conciencia jurídica tiene tres desventajas cruciales que obstaculizan la investigación sociojurídica, y que la teoría de sistemas reconstruida puede adaptarse mejor a una teoría global de la sociología jurídica. Por un lado, el problema individual de la teoría de la conciencia jurídica puede subsanarse mediante la epistemología intersubjetiva de la teoría de sistemas; en segundo lugar, el problema de la ubicuidad del derecho se evita mediante la concepción concreta del derecho como sistema de comunicación por parte de la teoría de sistemas; en tercer lugar, la teoría de sistemas evita la asunción hegemónica del Estado de derecho al rechazar la visión normativa del derecho. Es el momento de reconsiderar la teoría de sistemas en aras del avance de una sociología global del derecho.
