Awareness of the need to deepen the
method and methodology of legal research is only recent. The same is true for
comparative law, by nature a more adventurous branch of legal research, which
is often something researchers simply do whenever they look at foreign legal
systems to answer one or more of a range of questions about law, whether these
questions are doctrinal, economic, sociological, etc. Given the diversity of
comparative research projects, the precise contours of the methods employed, or
the epistemological issues raised by them, are to a great extent a function of
the nature of the research questions asked. As a result, the search for a
unique, one-size-fits-all comparative law methodology is unlikely to be
fruitful. That, however, does not make reflection on the method and culture of
comparative law meaningless. Mark Van Hoecke has, throughout his career, been
interested in many topics, but legal theory, comparative law and methodology of
law stand out. Building upon his work, this book brings together a group of
leading authors working at the crossroads of these themes: the method and
culture of comparative law.
