Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to present and analyse some aspects of the complex relationship between culture and law as a part of the culture in the context of contemporary sociological, anthropological and interdisciplinary theories and empirical studies of culture. The emphasis is on the impact of culture and cultural dimensions on law as on all written and unwritten, formal and informal rules which direct and regulate human behaviour. In that sense, Hofstede’s model of “national culture” is emphasized as one of the most famous intercultural research model of culture and his “uncertainty avoidance” dimension that represents the extent to which the members of a culture feel a need for written and unwritten rules, or in short, strong “uncertainty avoidance” countries tend to have more and more precise laws than in those with weak “uncertainty avoidance”. According to Hofstede, the effect of “uncertainty avoidance” on a society's legislation depends also on its degree of “individualism and collectivism“, whereas in strongly uncertainty avoiding and individualist countries, rules will tend to be explicit and written into laws, like Hall's “low-context communication”, while in strongly uncertainty avoiding and collectivist countries, rules are often implicit and rooted in tradition, like Hall's “high-context communication”. Scientific studies of the cultural dimensions and their effects on laws in different societies are actualised in the intercultural communication and cooperation, as well as with the need for better understanding of cultural similarities and differences in the way people interpret and use law in a global multicultural world.
