- The British Academy Lectures
Delivered by the most outstanding academics in the UK and beyond, the British Academy’s flagship Lecture programme showcases the very best scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.
About the event
The institutional patrimony of the West results from the competitive cumulation of different experiences that include the legacy of the Roman Empire law, the secular/religious dualism, the customs and the early codification of German kingdoms, the self-government of the cities, the institutions of consensus in the Middle Ages, the crisis of political universalism and the legal differentiation of European states. Notwithstanding setbacks and warfare, the competition between these normative sources is the key to pluralism and it is absent in any other historical experience of the world. This makes difficult to export or to expect similar developments in other parts of the world.
