A Model Of Legal Systems As Evolutionary Networks: Normative Complexity And Self-Organization Of Clusters Of Rules, Carlo Garbarino Jul 2010

A Model Of Legal Systems As Evolutionary Networks: Normative Complexity And Self-Organization Of Clusters Of Rules, Carlo Garbarino

Carlo Garbarino

The paper draws both on legal theory and network science to explain how legal systems are structured and evolve. The basic proposition is that legal systems have a structure identifiable through a model of them in terms of networks of rules, and that their evolution is a property of their network structure. The paper is based on a model of rules which relies on the tenets of the network theory to describe how legal change unfolds within the network structure of legal systems. Section 1 presents an outline of current literature on the application of network theory to legal systems. …
