Michel Germain, Pluralism and Economic Law
Pluralism is difficult to define. Economic law is forever growing. Thus, the meeting of legal pluralism and economic law is a particularly delicate mat-ter. Legal pluralism asks the question if a law can develop outside State law and of the constraints organized by the State. Such a situation of true pluralism is very seldom, maybe non-existent: the new formula of business ethics might belong to this realm. However, one comes more often across a relative pluralism, allowing a group, such as a commercial company, to live an apparently autonomous life, but in fact in close symbiosis with state law.

Key Words : economic law, constraint, business ethic
