Individual Research Program – 2015 André Santos Campos Postdoctoral Researcher Main Topic of Research Theories of legal validity: validity is mostly the specific characteristic of a normative frame of reference which determines it as positive law; the preference for different characteristics is what still justifies the distinction between natural law theories and legal positivism; this individual research aims at a justification of criteria of validity in the light of the contemporary problems of global legal pluralism.
