Monism, Pluralism and Legal Change: An Overview of the Chilean Experience

Abstract

This article is an exercise in understanding of pluralistic legal thinking in law. The objective is to offer a reconstruction of legal pluralism in the context of the interaction between formal discourse, alternative narratives and worldviews about law. In so doing, my goal, which highlights aspects of comparative private law, is to show in what way entities or social groups (apart from the State) can be regarded as effective lawmakers in the Chilean context.
