This groundbreaking book ignites spirited debate among scholars across law, humanities, and social sciences, where comparative methodology remains relatively less firmly established compared to other research approaches. It argues that these fields, in particular, demand and thrive on comparative research, which goes beyond a mere bonus and becomes an essential component.
Featuring insightful discussions and reflections from seasoned scholars who have excelled in conducting comparative research, this book delves into the myriad ways in which comparative legal research can glean valuable comparative, qualitative, and interpretive insights from the humanities and social sciences. Chapters explore contrasting comparative legal versus historical approaches, comparative sociology, comparative religion, comparative (legal) anthropology, comparative philosophy, comparative economics, and more. Furthermore, the book addresses the challenges that lie ahead, not just for comparative legal research but for comparative disciplines as a whole.
Among the numerous challenges identified and analyzed, the book concludes that comparative research can be particularly enriched when it is also recognized as a research design, rather than solely a method. Inspiring and forward-thinking, this book serves as a vital resource for both research students and experienced researchers embarking on comparative research within the domains of law, humanities, and social sciences.
