The emergence of several overlapping and competing normative orders associated with the processes of so-called globalization has indeed significantly increased the trend toward complexity of modern societies as well of law itself.Yet, the trouble is that while there is no dispute over the fact that time is ripe for critically reconsidering black box theories that have treated nation-states or geographically bounded societies or legal systems as enclosed units that can be studied in isolation either internally or at the international level, how to interpret the current changes and whether is sensible to admit a possible collapse of the concept of law itself are still an open issue.

Abstract
The emergence of several overlapping and competing normative orders associated with the processes of so-called globalization has indeed significantly increased the trend toward complexity of modern societies as well of law itself.Yet, the trouble is that while there is no dispute over the fact that time is ripe for critically reconsidering black box theories that have treated nation-states or geographically bounded societies or legal systems as enclosed units that can be studied in isolation either internally or at the international level, how to interpret the current changes and whether is sensible to admit a possible collapse of the concept of law itself are still an open issue.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
