This paper is a contribution to a symposium on Santi Romano’s L’ordinamento giuridico, on the occasion of its publication into English for the first time (S. Romano, The Legal Order, M. Croce ed., M. Croce trans. (Routledge, 2017). It seeks to locate Romano’s pluralism within the contemporary landscape of anglophone legal pluralist scholarship. Dividing the legal pluralist landscape into weak, moderate and strong pluralism it argues that, notwithstanding the fact that Romano seems to adopt a ‘strong pluralist’ approach to legal pluralism – where law is not the exclusive preserve of the state but exists in many areas of social and cultural life – and the fact that he has been labelled a conservative statist in his native Italy – making him a ‘weak pluralist’ who maintains that law is the exclusive preserve of the state – that he is best viewed as adopting a ‘moderate pluralist’ approach to legal pluralism in a manner similar to the constitutional pluralism of Neil MacCormick. The paper concludes that, in adopting his moderate pluralist position, Romano in fact presaged many features of the influential ‘constitutional pluralist movement’ which emerged fifty years after the original publication of the book.

宪法多元主义 Avant la Lettre?: on Santi Romano's L'ordinamento Giuridico

尽管罗马诺似乎对法律多元化采取了“强烈多元主义”的方法——法律不是国家的专属保护，而是存在于社会和文化生活的许多领域——而且他被贴上了保守的国家主义者的标签在他的家乡意大利——使他成为一个“弱多元主义者”，坚持法律是国家的专属保护——他最好被视为对法律多元主义采取“温和多元主义”的方法，其方式类似于尼尔的宪法多元主义麦考密克。该论文的结论是，在采取他温和的多元主义立场时，罗马诺实际上预示了该书最初出版五十年后出现的有影响力的“宪法多元主义运动”的许多特征。
