Abstract

The article seeks to elucidate if networks entail a specific and differentiated means of human and social relation, if they are based on other preexisting types of relationality and whether they tend to displace or absorb within their logic the rest of human and social relations. To do this, the paper identifies some network’s features in comparison with other types of human and social relationships, and their dynamics. Then, the author faces the subject from the point of view of Law and Economics, on the basis of several authors. Finally, these new forms of network relationality and their consequences are valued regarding their influence in shaping relationships in the human and social sphere.
