Abstract

NOGUERA-FERNANDEZ, Albert. Legal Sociology Reformulated: the Transformation of Law in Globalization and New Citizenship. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2009, vol.11, n.1, pp.11-38. ISSN 0124-0579.

This article seeks to demonstrate how Law inter-related with Economy, constitutes in modern societies one of the main instruments for the construction of citizen consensus or the construction of political hegemony in modern societies. If we consider this affirmation -as is argued here- the transformations suffered in recent decades by Law as a consequence of the new phase of capitalistic globalization, have played an important role in the constitution of a new subjectivity ("single thought") in the population.

Keywords : social control; subjectivity; law; economy; validity; efficacy; globalization; consumerism.
