The book focuses on exploring the emerging tensions that exist between the demand for legal certainty and the challenges of regulating complex, late modern societies. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focusing on debates around legal certainty at the national level, with a primary emphasis on criminal law; and the second part focusing on debates at the transnational level, with a primary emphasis on the regulation of transnational commercial transactions.In the context of legal modernity, the principle of legal certaintythe idea that the law must be sufficiently clear to provide those subject to legal norms with the means to regulate their own conduct and to protect against the arbitrary use of public powerhas operated as a foundational rule of law value. Even though it has not always been fully realized, legal certainty has functioned as a core value and aspiration that has structured normative debates throughout political modernity, both at a national and international level.In recent decades, however, legal certainty has come under increasing pressure from a number of competing demands that are made of contemporary law, in particular the demand that the law be more flexible and responsive to a social environment characterized by rapid social and technological change. The expectation that the law operates in new transnational contexts and regulates every widening sphere of social life has created a new degree of uncertainty, and this change raises difficult questions regarding both the possibility and desirability of legal certainty.This book compiles, in one edited volume, research from a range of substantive areas of civil and criminal law that shares a common interest in understanding the multi-layered challenges of defining legal certainty in a late modern society. The book will be of interest both to lawyers interested in understanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of contemporary social change and to political scientists and social theorists....3795769Legal Certainty in a Contemporary Context9621069https://www.gandhi.com.mx/legal-certainty-in-a-contemporary-context-9789811001147/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2610910/4f8bba94-e2af-4afe-ab78-1181b8ac127c.jpg?v=638384210911870000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169789811001147_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9789811001147_This book addresses issues concerning the shifting contemporary meaning of legal certainty.
