Legality and its Discontents: A Preliminary Assessment of Current Theories of Legalization and Delegalization

  • Chapter
Book cover Alternative Rechtsformen und Alternativen zum Recht

Part of the book series: Jahrbuch für Rechtssoziologie und Rechtstheorie ((JRR,volume 6))

Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag untersucht programmatische und polemische Literatur über Rechtsreformen in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion über Unzufriedenheiten mit dem Legalitätskonzept. Er entwickelt eine Klassifikation verschiedener Vorschläge zur Wiederherstellung, Änderung oder Ersetzung heutiger Rechtsinstitutionen. Drei grundsätzlich verschiedene Reaktionen auf die Rechtsordnung werden unterschieden, die legalistische Bestätigung einer selbstgenügsamen autonomen Rechtsordnung; der technokratische Versuch einer effizienteren Sozialkontrolle; und vom Gemeinschaftsdenken inspirierte Versuche, spezialisierte Rechtsformen wieder zurückzuführen in ursprünglichere Vergesellschaftung. Diese Tendenzen werden vor dem Hintergrund neuerer Veränderungen im Charakter und der Reichweite der Rechtsordnung dargestellt. Sie werden als komplexe und widersprüchliche Versuche der Verrechtlichung in manchen, der Entrechtlichung in anderen Bereichen des Soziallebens charakterisiert. Deshalb kann man die gegenwärtigen Tendenzen auch weder als das „Ende des Rechts“ noch als sein volles Aufblühen einschätzen, sondern muß sie vielmehr ansehen als eine Veränderung von Rolle und Verortung rechtlicher Kontrolle ebenso wie unserer Art, diese wahrzunehmen.
