Law in postmodernity

Abstract

This article explores the transformations of law in the postmodern era from a Latin American perspective. It examines how the traditional foundations of law, rooted in liberal rationality and individualism, are challenged by contemporary phenomena such as globalization, cultural diversity, and technological revolutions. The article advocates for a more dynamic, pluralistic, and efficiency-oriented legal approach that emphasizes social justice and collective rights. It also discusses the need to redesign state and constitutional structures to ensure sovereignty and equity amidst the complexities of the current global landscape.
