Globalization, technologies and legal revolution

Meer over het boek

The book “Liber Amicorum in Memory of Sergio Ortino” explores themes such as Globalization, Technologies and Constitutional Theory, Supranational Integration, Federalism, and the management of Territorial and Cultural Diversity. Colleagues, alumni, and friends of Professor Ortino sought to reflect his innovative research approach, delving into new fields that illuminate legal phenomena. The essays extend beyond traditional academic boundaries, mirroring Ortino’s quest for challenges and interdisciplinary insights. This broad perspective was crucial for deepening understanding of the fundamental reasons behind legal phenomena and their evolution, allowing him to anticipate legal developments ahead of many contemporaries. His foresight in research was evident, particularly in his early writings on globalization, long before it gained mainstream attention among legal scholars. The contributions in this volume focus on uncharted territories, examining the interplay between legal phenomena and various disciplines such as economics, anthropology, and history, while also pinpointing future research needs. Notable themes include Ortino’s curiosity about Asia, particularly China, and his critical perspective on the evolution of the European Union, which are highlighted by his colleagues and friends in this tribute.
