Abstract: We present a simple and intuitive framework for duality of locally compacts groups, which is not based on the Haar measure. This is a map, functorial on a non-degenerate subcategory, on the category of coinvolutive Hopf cst-algebras, and a similar map on the category of coinvolutive Hopf-von Neumann algebras. In the cst-version, this functor sends

C_{0} (G)

to

C^{*} (G)

and vice versa, for every locally compact group

G

. As opposed to preceding approaches, there is an explicit description of commutative and co-commutative algebras in the range of this map (without assumption of being isomorphic to their bidual): these algebras have the form

C_{0} (G)

or

C^{*} (G)

respectively, where

G

is a locally compact group. The von Neumann version of the functor puts into duality, in the group case, the enveloping von Neumann algebras of the algebras above:

C_{0} (G)^{* *}

and

C^{*} (G)^{* *}

.
