Valentin Petev, Legal Pluralism, European Construction and Parti-cipative Rights
Legal pluralism is studied from the angle of legal philosophy. In the current layout, it exceeds the boundaries of the internal legal orders and is associated with a set of cultural, economical and political phenomena in love with glo-ba-li-zation. At several levels, legal pluralism identifies with an important normativity created by States as well as by new transnational actors. On the local level, it takes the form of a new social management achieved by civilian groups and associations. Such a legal pluralism can only be justified through political and socio-ethical discourses. The duty of legal philosophy should, nowadays, consist in laying its foundations.

Key Words : globalization, normativity, social management
