Comparative Legal Studies: Traditions and Transitions

by Pierre Legrand (Editor), Roderick Munday (Editor)

These fourteen essays present an authoritative review of the current state of comparative legal studies. With backgrounds in law, political science, sociology, history and anthropology, the contributors examine comparative law's intellectual traditions; the strengths and failings of its methodologies; and, most importantly, future directions the subject is likely to take. This comprehensive study of the philosophical and methodological foundations of comparative law is a book with ideas and arguments every comparatist scholar is drawn to.
