The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on general aspects of comparative law, delving into various approaches and methodologies employed in the field. It addresses the contentious issue of methods, particularly emphasizing the need for a contextual approach that engages with real-world issues and adopts a practical perspective on contemporary comparative legal scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part of the book offers a detailed examination of major legal contexts across the globe. It encompasses common law systems, civil law systems (based on Germany and France and extended to Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and Latin America), the African context (with an emphasis on customary law), different contexts in Asia, Islamic law and law in Islamic countries (including a brief treatment of Jewish law and canon law), and transnational contexts (public international law, European Union law, and lex mercatoria). The book aims to provide a coherent treatment of global legal systems, not only by describing their diverse norms and legal institutions but also by proposing a more effective way of understanding how the overall context of legal systems influences legal thinking and legal practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis, Uwe Kischel's treatise on comparative law serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in exploring the complexities of legal systems across the world. It offers a valuable perspective on the comparative study of law and its significance in shaping legal discourse and practice in a globalized era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1718g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 183 x 253 x 58 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198791355\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UweKischel","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100619895034,"sku":"9780198791355","price":238.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c04f8a1ad536d156e93ef650ceaff1cd.jpg?v=1625472145","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/comparative-law","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
