The volume “Legal Sociology. Theoretical References, Concepts and Relevant Institutions in the Social-Legal Architecture” proposes an analytical foray into the space of interference between sociology and law, exploring how legal norms have their origin, functioning and legitimacy within social life. The book explores the social foundation of law and the sociological relevance of legal phenomena.
Through the way the chapters are structured, the work offers a double perspective: theoretical and applicative. The first chapters provide an epistemological foundation for legal sociology, and the following present the methodology of sociological research and several relevant concepts such as social order, social norm, social control and legal norm, emphasizing their role in regulating behaviors and maintaining social balance. The last chapters treat the essential institutions of law – objective law and subjective law, legal capacity and liability – as expressions of collective values and the relationship between freedom, responsibility and justice.
Through the succession and coherence of these chapters, the volume builds a complete vision of law as a complex social phenomenon, in which legal norms, social norms and collective values are in a permanent process of interaction and adaptation.
The work is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of sociology, law and social sciences, offering both a solid theoretical basis and an applicative tool for analyzing contemporary legal phenomena.
In a constantly changing world, legal sociology remains the discipline capable of explaining how law is shaped under the influence of society and, at the same time, how it contributes to maintaining order, justice and social balance.
