Boris Barraud, A Tool to Measure Law? (2nd part: Application)
The object of the present contribution is certainly not revolutionary because it is about the eternal question of the definition of Law. However, the operated theoretical and epistemological choices are perfectly innovative and audacious. Indeed, it is suggested to answer this question by adopting a syncretic posture, by considering as valid all the significant theses and by trying to overtake them to establish "the" theory of Law.
In this second part, some applications are proposed. They testify of the qualitative pluralism imprinting the Law. The results are treated by means of graphic representations, what which assures insures an unusual but modern and intuitive perception of the rules. Besides, the Law is put in perspective with the notion of the efficiency of the rules (by concentrating only on their material and symbolic effectiveness).
