An invitation to legal pluralism

Abstract

The idea of legal (or juridical) pluralism is poorly represented in the Spanish speaking literature. Motivated by this fact, this work is an invitation for the reader to become familiar with the idea of legal pluralism, its genealogy and its main elements. For that purpose, firstly, it discusses the ideology of the legal centralism as the main target of the legal pluralism. Secondly, it develops the alternative that legal pluralism offers, highlighting its evolution and its various manifestation and criticisms.
