Abstract

This article introduces a transdisciplinary model to understanding the nature of collective disputes from a legal-sociological perspective. The sociological approach of “Emergentism,” which seeks a causal explanation to the transformative potential of social phenomena, provides a useful theoretical framework to this paradigm. In view of this, this article proposes that “mutability” be understood as an intrinsic feature of the social processes of collective disputes, thereby inherent in different kinds of conflict. Criteria for its qualitative measurement are also provided. This article further evaluates the presence and the extent of the mutability property of collective disputes that are deemed to be structural by demonstrating the relationship between the degree of the mutability of the dispute, the prospective tendency of its remedial measures, and the importance of preserving flexibility in its remedial procedures to permit ongoing reevaluations of the litigious conflict’s characteristics and circumstances.
