State, Legality, Illegality, Social OrderAbstract
This article reflects on the relationship between legality and illegality in the conformation of the social order from three problematic knots. First, the fact that most of the studies focus on regions where the centralized state and democracy have recently emerged, suggesting that in countries with more stable political systems the articulation between legality and illegality does not take place. Second, the field has been developed through case studies, however, the recurrences and construction of typologies based on prototypes of them has not been explored. Third, although the relationship between legality and illegality exists in both developed and emerging countries, this articulation may present differences between both contexts. Even though the article does not propose a definitive explanation, it does provide a hypothesis on how they could be conceptualized.
