Mathias Siems’ Comparative law is due to be published in May 2014. It
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.
Keep an eye out for the book. In the meantime, check out Siems’ Comparing Laws Blog.
