This book presents a
fresh contextualised and cosmopolitan perspective on comparative law. It
critically discusses established approaches to comparative law, but also
presents more modern ones, such as socio-legal and numerical comparative law.
Special emphasis is given to the impact of globalisation on legal systems. The
argument of this book is structured as follows: Part 1 looks at past
approaches to comparative law and how these approaches have been challenged by
contextual research. Parts 2 and 3 explain how at present other
disciplines make comparative law richer by using new methods and extending it
to new questions. In Part 4 it is proposed that future comparative law
can even go further by integrating the research of other disciplines, even if
this is not yet classified as comparative law.
