MargaretS.Archer TheProblem Do shared values promote social stability and social integration, or is it the other way round? Is it rather that social stability fosters normative consensus about the legitimacyoftheruleoflaw,theappropriatenessofprevailingrulesandattachment to existingconventions?Thisquestionhasa longhistoryinthe philosophyoflaw and the sociology of development, whose respective thinkers often took different positions during the Twentieth century. What they did agree upon was that the lack of social change was conducive to both an unchallenged rule of law and to shared values embedded in established custom and common beliefs. In short, morphostasis was the precondition of a harmonious relationship between legal validity and normative consensus in society – whichever way round it was held towork.
