Геополитика, право и идеологија
Geopolitics, Law and Ideology

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays we know that there are geopolitical basics in roots of different legal systems in addition to their ideological roots. Geopolitics distinguishes two legal systems: Roman-Germanic (“philosophy of the land”) and “Common Law” of Anglo- Saxon world (“philosophy of the sea”), which directly influences principles of organization of social life. A most important difference regarding these two types of the law is formal source of the law. Legal philosophy of members of the Land school has religious character and within it legal principles are almost not subjected to changes, while in legal “philosophy of the Sea” school the change of law and disobeying of it is considered as something natural. According to collected data, modern mankind has been going on through “a crisis of legal consciousness” due to pervasion of political systems by the Anglo- Saxon law. However, the world does not experience this type of crisis for the first time, as it is enough to recall decay of Antic world. At that time the crisis had started with a slow but inevitable break- down of religiousness which gradually encompassed both family life and legal consciousness. „Legal consciousness which lost its religious roots turned out to be incapable of preserving and protecting monumental statehood and culture of Rome and relentless history rendered its verdict to such legal consciousness.“ Rescue and recovery of the world legal consciousness and legal order came from Christianity. A question that is ahead of us today is therefore is it possible for this pattern of the way out of the crisis to be repeated and what is religion that is capable of doing it?
