Constitutional sociology and corporations: A conversation with Gunther Teubner

Abstract

The present work corresponds to a conversation held with the German sociologist Gunther Teubner. In it, the author addresses central aspects related to the sociology of constitutions and their contribution to the understanding of the negative effects of the dark side of functional differentiation. Gunther Teubner is professor emeritus of private law and sociology of law at the prestigious Goethe University. His work is widely known for his contributions to the field of the sociology of law, particularly for his theory of autopoietic law, the concept of reflexive law, and, currently, for his theory of societal constitutionalization.
