At a time when global society is increasingly mobile and legal life is internationalized, the role of comparative law is gaining importance. While the growing interest in this field may well be attributed to the dramatic increase in international legal transactions, this empirical parameter is only part of the explanation. The other part, and (at least) equally important, has to do with the expectation of gaining a deeper understanding of law as a social phenomenon and a fresh insight into the current state and future direction of one?s own legal system. In response to the internationalization of legal practice and theory, law schools around the world have expanded their comparative law programs. Within the legal subjects that form the core of the curriculum there is a greater interest in comparative legal analysis, as well as greater attention to how globaldevelopments and international actors and institutions affect domestic law. Transnational legal education based on comparative reasoning is intended to help shape a new generation of lawyers, public servants and other professionals who recognize and respect cultural diversity in an interconnected world. The central topics discussed in this book include: the nature and scope of comparative legal inquiries; the relationship of comparative law to other fields of legal study; the aims and uses of comparative law; the origins and historical development of comparative law; and the evolution and defining features of some of the world?s predominant legal traditions. It also deals with selected theoretical aspects, such as the problem of comparability of legal events; the classification of legal systems into families of law; and the topics of legal transplants, harmonization and convergence of laws. Chiefly intended for students, the book also discusses a number of fundamental issues concerning the development of comparative law, and devotes certain sections to reviewing the salient features of the relevant literature on definitional, terminological, methodological and historical issues. 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aInternational law 606 $aComparative law 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aLegal History 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aLegal History. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a340.9 676 $a340.2 700 $aMousourakis$b George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0280373 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910357835303321 996 $aComparative Law and Legal Traditions$91754072 997 $aUNINA
