Justicia comunitaria y el nuevo mapa de las justicias

Abstract

This text broadly presents the dynamics of legal administration at modern society infra-state level. The main point of the analysis has to do with an area which has been studied very little and is not homogeneous. It consists of a first look at those areas of society where justice is administered at local level through institutions or by procedures which are outside the judicial state apparatus. Before beginning a theoretical consideration of this subject, the idea is to observe the ways in which the state monopoly of justice really works, and to identify the factual phenomena with which to regard justice in modern times. This argument rests on the hypothesis that the State does not necessarily have a monopoly in justice administration in modern societies.
