Review Essay : Law as an Autopoietic System

The concept of autopoiesis connotes the idea that the constituent elements of social systems are communications. This makes society a self-reproducing system of communication. Particular modes of communication crystallize within the social system and form autonomous subsystems. A system's specific mode of communication makes it a normative closed system against the environment. Law is one such self-reproductive system which organizes and conceptualizes influences and demands from the environment in terms of its norms legal/illegal.
