Abstract

Legal pluralism is a perspective that challenges that monistic conception which has reduced the endemic diversity of the society to a single dominant view of law. This one reports the simultaneous coexistence of different laws that act within different time spaces, and at local, national and transnational levels, the same which are not limited to state law framework. The relationship between law, state and sovereignty has justified the modern state's legal monopoly for a long time, but in recent decades, with the emergence of new subnational and supranational actors who produce alternative law, it emphasizes the crisis of state law, and extends the conceptual boundaries of the laws beyond the ones conceived by western legal science.
