These regions correspond, though imperfectly, with three different legal traditions: the American, continental and Islamic traditions. The book argues that we should understand law as a mimetic artefact. In so doing, it explains how typical patterns and exemplary articulations of wrongful enrichment law capture and reiterate vocal cultural themes found in the respective regions. The book identifies remarkable affinities between poetic tendencies, structures and default dispositions of wrongful enrichment law and cultural world views. It offers bold accounts of each region's law and culture providing fertile grounds for external and comparative elucidations of the legal doctrineInternational studies in the theory of private law.LawSocial aspectsEuropean Union countriesLawSocial aspectsTurkeyHistoryLawSocial aspectsUnited StatesUnjust enrichmentEuropean Union countriesUnjust enrichmentTurkeyHistoryUnjust enrichmentUnited StatesContract lawLawSocial aspectsLawSocial aspectsHistory.LawSocial aspectsUnjust enrichmentUnjust enrichmentHistory.Unjust enrichment346.02/9Asfour Nahel1641537UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910819025003321Wrongful enrichment3985745UNINA
