The presentation of this work begins by quoting Gabriel García Márquez: “do not expect anything from the 21st century. And, inspired by this challenging idea, allow us to present the texts gathered here and especially those of the youngest researchers, because it is to the youngest generations that belong the keys to the XXI century: after all, this is their century and to live in it it is necessary to learn to decipher concretely the signs of the future and translate them into shared understandings and common projects.
It is in this sense of interdisciplinarity and dialogue of cultures that we propose to strongly recommend the reading of the texts of our colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic, at the same time we are grateful for the generous offer for publication by the Law School of the University of Minho.
In order to provide a timely response to the challenges of the 21st century, we must first of all pose good questions, with the aim, if possible, of providing good proposals for answers to them – before it is too late.
