"Comparative Legal Studies: Traditions and Transitions" Ed. by Pierre Legrand, Roderick Munday

This book features fourteen original essays written by some of the world’smost distinguished comparatistswho bring sophisticated theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives to bear on comparative legal studies.

Representing such varied disciplines as the law, political science, sociology, history and anthropology, the contributors review the intellectual traditions that have evolved within the discipline of comparative legal studies, explore the strengths and failings of the various methodologies that comparatists adopt and, significantly, at the dawn of a new century explore the directions that the subject is likely to take in the future. No previous work has examined so comprehensively the philosophical and methodological foundations of comparative law. This is quite simply a book with which anyone embarking on comparative legal studies will have to engage.
