Abstract

The anthology Neue Theorien des Rechts (New Theories of Law, Buckel, Christensen, Fischer-Lescano, eds) aims at taking stock of current theories of law in its whole content and methodical range. In the introduction the publishing team stresses notably the heavily formal systematic, but regarding the contents anti-hierarchic roots. Its aim is to clarify the vagueness of new theoretical beginnings, traditions and methods into a clear and comparable frame, whilst ranking different theories, but without categorizing them normatively. In the first part of the anthology three contributions present a conceivably broad spectrum on the separation and linkage of law and politics; the second part is concerned in six contributions with the politics of the jurisdiction; the third part, with six contributions, goes into goes detail in the fragmentation of law; and the fourth part discusses the topic of the transnational juridical pluralism in three contributions. In the second part of the article, the author discusses each contribution separately on criteria based on system theory, analysis and speech philosophy, post modernity, and economics. References.
