DWORKIN, Ronald. From Justice in robes to Justice for hedgehogs. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2015, n.9, pp.3-22. ISSN 2448-7937.

In this Lecture delivered at the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, after receiving the Premio Internacional de Investigación en Derecho Héctor Fix-Zamudio, in Mexico City, November 23, 2006, the author describes the implications for Legal Theory and Philosophy of two recent phenomena, which have become trends in legal practice, and challenges an idea closely associated with legal positivism, i.e. law is identified with a State through its sovereigns or conventions, by proposing that law escapes from national boundaries and territories.
