Call for Papers
SIRD (Società Italiana per la Ricerca nel Diritto Comparato)
opens an international Call for Papers for Younger Comparatists on
Global Sustainability & Comparative Legal Cultures
BACKGROUND
Environmental-friendly production, practices and actions to support long-term economic
growth, sustainable consumption, new food patterns, and new policies to save natural resource
and limit pollution, are receiving renewed attention both globally and on a local scale. How do
legal systems consider the Nature’s resilience? How various cultural elements affect sustainability?
How new forms of governance re-shape cultural policies in the Western tradition and elsewhere?
Acknowledging the crucial role of a cross-cultural, comparative approach to global sustainability,
is it possible to promote legal change for a better future, and if so, in which ways?
The 2021 SIRD Call for Papers for Younger Comparatists explores the interaction of
humankind with Earth’s environmental dynamics, to comparatively examine the many pathways
through which legal cultures support and promote Nature’s resilience.
