Subordination, conformity and alignment
Can a judiciary operating in an autocratic political system be expected to defend the rule of law? What are the implications of the relative autonomy of the judges in such an environment? The main reason why judges are unable to affirm the values of the rule of law is that several conditions of resistance are lacking. Organizational, structural and cultural factors all play a role. The lack of professional solidarity is particularly important. Th…
Vannak-e szociologizáló tendenciák a magyar jogelméletben
A magyar filozófiai hagyományon belüli szociologizálás nem jellemző a jogelméletben. E hiány okai történeti, tudománytörténeti, politikai jellegűek.

The Article illustrates the defining effects of the historical traditions with concrete examples based on empirical researches. Judicial independence as part of the rule of law is not only institutional guarantees but cultural, mental dispositions too. This Article shows how non…
The Architects of Democracy
In this short essay the author sets out to demonstrate the relevance of the sociological perspective in examining the role of legal professions and shed light on the somewhat neglected field of legal sociology. In this regard there are valuable historical analogies to draw on, but the new democracies of Central Europe also constitute a rich field of research for exploring this role. Given that constitutional institutions in this region still suff…
