El Instituto Internacional de Sociología Jurídica de Oñati acoge estos días una Bilkura (reunión de expertos/as y autoridades académicas) con el título Lawyers in 21st Century Society, organizada y coordinada por Ulrike Schultz (FernUniversität de Hagen), Ole Hammerslev (University of Southern Denmark), Hilary Sommerlad (University of Leeds) y Richard Abel (UCLA).

Patara Mckeen’s research examines the social, economic, and political factors influencing Oñati’s policy toward Pakistani immigrants. What must be understood is that Oñati is a truly unique locale in the Basque Country; a place livened by its passionate communities, linked together through a rich and vibrant history, that, in turn, encapsulates an extraordinary way of life. Yet, decades of political strife, violence, and ensuing period of globalization have altered its social makeup.
