| THE COURSE IS AIMED AT GIVING STUDENTS THE CONCEPTUAL TOOLS TO VERIFY HOW THE SPACE IN WHICH PEOPLE LIVE IS SHAPED BY THEIR CULTURE, AS WELL AS SHOWING THE DIFFERENT WAY IN WHICH INSTITUTIONS AND LEGAL STRUCTURES REACT TO DIVERSITY. THROUGH AN INTERCULTURAL LEGAL APPROACH WE INTEND TO CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR A CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN ORDER TO INTEGRATE THE DIFFERENT LIFE MODELS, AND CUSTOMARY BEHAVIOR. THE AIM IS TO CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR OVERCOMING THE COGNITIVE BARRIERS EXPRESSED BY THE CULTURAL LEGAL DIFFERENCES AND TO CORRECTLY INTERPRET THE BEHAVIOUR OF PEOPLE COMING FROM ABROAD - OR BELONGING TO DIFFERENT CULTURES - (BE THEY ENTREPRENEURS, WORKERS, SUBJECTS ACTING AS HEIRS, PARENTS, SPOUSES, CONTRACTUAL PARTIES, PARTNERS, ETC.) THE COURSE IS ALSO AIMED AT CORRECTLY IDENTIFYING WHICH LAW APPLIES IN CASE OF A LEGAL DISPUTE. THE INTERNATIONAL-PRIVATE-LAW TOOLS AND THE JURIDICAL-COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ARE CRUCIAL TO DULY RESPOND TO THESE NEW NEEDS. |

| INTERCULTURAL LAW WAS PROVISIONALLY DEFINED AS A TYPE OF LAW THAT MANAGES TO COHERE A DIVERSITY OF LEGALLY RELEVANT SOCIAL PRACTICES HEREBY REGULATING DIVERSITY WITHOUT ENFORCING RIGID UNITY, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME AVOIDING A NORMATIVE CHAOS LEADING TO LEGAL UNCERTAINTY. THE QUESTION SEEMS TO BE WHETHER THE INTERCULTURAL LAW IS A RECENT INVENTION OR CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A COMMON PRACTICE OF INTERPRETATION. WHICH ARE THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL PRESUMPTIONS OF SUCH A CONCEPTION OF LAW? DO WE HAVE TO DISCARD THE CENTRAL TENET OF SOME POSTMODERN COMPARATIVISTS THAT PRO-CLAIM THE INCOMMENSURABILITY OF CULTURES? DO WE HAVE TO RELATIVISE WESTERN CONCEPTIONS OF POSITIVE LAW? TO WHAT DEGREE IS COORDINATION OF DIVERSITY SUSTAINABLE? (HOW) COULD RELIGIOUSLY INSPIRED LAW (LIKE THE SHARI’A) BE ACCOMMODATED IN A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY?THE COURSE ATTEMPTS TO ANSWER ALL THESE QUESTIONS. |
