La evolución histórica del derecho en las civilizaciones antiguas: una aproximación desde la experiencia de movilidad académica en Europa y África

Abstract

The following systematization aims to demonstrate how law does not arise spontaneously, but rather as the result of a long historical, cultural, and social process to which different civilizations have contributed over time. This process involved the creation of norms to regulate conduct, resolve conflicts, and guarantee a certain social order, reflecting the values, needs, and power structures of each era. This systematization seeks to adopt a narrative and academic perspective based on academic exchange undertaken in Europe and África, especially in Spain, Greece, Italy, and Egypt—territories where fundamental events in the formation of legal thought took place. This allows us to identify and understand how law transitioned from a divine and customary expression to a consolidated rational, written, and structured system, becoming the foundation of contemporary legal systems.
