Summary/Abstract: The recent changes in some important states within the EU, regarding the concept of multiculturalism demand a thorough analysis of the current state of legal cultures in Europe. Recent legal and social conflicts have arisen and projected some pessimistic view regarding the multicultural society. However, multiculturalism may be considered a factual reality and therefore its place within the system of legal cultures cannot be ignored. Moreover, the interaction of legal cultures that coexist in the same geographical area constitutes an important area of analysis. This article addresses specific issues regarding legal conflicts that may be derived from multiculturalism, by using a systemic approach regarding legal cultures.
