Groups and sectors of society have pinned their hopes on the accumulation of knowledge which allows solving problems of a world in conflict. Experience shows us that generation of such necessary and useful knowledge should emerge from several views and contributions of all; that is, collective construction of knowledge should be encouraged.

For this reason, tools such as dissemination and brainstorm of knowledge allow different production spaces to become oxygenated; that is, existing knowledge can be controversial, refined, opposed, reconstructed or supported.

With publication of issue 29, corresponding to the January–June period 2016, ''Opinión Jurídica'' journal continues making contributions to this endless dialogue in the juridical field in order to start a discussion on the current theory.
