This innovative, refreshing, and reader-friendly book is aimed at
enabling students to familiarise themselves with the challenges and
controversies found in comparative law. At present there is no book
which clearly explains the contemporary debates and methodological
innovations found in modern comparative law. This book fills that
gap in teaching at undergraduate level, and for postgraduates will
be a starting point for further reading and discussion. Among the
topics covered are: globalisation, legal culture, comparative law
and diversity, economic approaches, competition between legal
systems, legal families and mixed systems, comparative law beyond
Europe, convergence and a new ius commune, comparative commercial
law, comparative family law, the 'common core' and the 'better law'
approaches, comparative administrative law, comparative studies in
constitutional contexts, comparative law for international criminal
justice, judicial comparativism in human rights, comparative law in
law reform, comparative law in courts and a comparative law
research project. The individual chapters can also be read as
stand-alone contributions and are written by experts such as Masha
Antokolskaia, John Bell, Roger Cotterell, Sjef van Erp, Nicholas
Foster, Patrick Glenn, Andrew Harding, Peter Leyland, Christopher
McCrudden, Werner Menski, David Nelken, Anthony Ogus, Esin Orucu,
Paul Roberts, Jan Smits and William Twining. Each chapter begins
with a description of key concepts and includes questions for
discussion and reading lists to aid further study. Traditional
topics of private law, such as contracts, obligations and
unjustified enrichment are omitted as they are amply covered in
other comparative law books, but developments in other areas of
private law, such as family law, are included as being of current
interest.
