UNA CULTURA JURÍDICA CON PROFUNDAS RAÍCES Y VOCACIÓN UNIVERSAL. EUROPA Y SUS DESAFÍOS POLÍTICO-NORMATIVOS ANTE UN ESCENARIO POSTSECULAR PLURICULTURAL

Abstract

Understanding a particular legal culture involves, first of all, trying to point out the roots that inform it. This implies, basically, to delimit the different historical components that have shaped a cultural tradition.
In the European case, the legal culture has received several contributions from the Roman, Greek and Christian world. Trying to specify its content can bring a vision of totality to a legal system with vocation of expansion, in which the influence in other territorial schemes has been a constant.
In this paper we will try to point out, from the challenges that politics faces in a multicultural, post-secular scenario, how the European legal culture can be a useful tool for its management, striving to demonstrate, also, that there is a correlate of certain content between Europe and Latin America
