Culture of Legality: From Concept to Practice, a Call for Education

Abstract

This article goes back to the 1990s, when the concept of the Culture of Legality was first enunciated in Mexico, and it follows the trajectory of the expression and its practices until 2024. In this sense, it recognizes the state of the art and highlights the diverse fields that the Culture of Legality has occupied over a period of over three decades. By doing so, it notes that different countries apply the concept distinctively, allowing other central points even though the focus is on extending and maintaining the rule of law. From this narrative, it concludes that the intersection between the Culture of Legality agenda and the area of education is structural to promoting the consolidation of active citizenship.
