Methods in Comparative Law: An Intellectual Overview (Russian)

The article is intended to be a brief summary of the basic tenets of this kind of approach to Law, in order to introduce the reader to the steps to be followed in using this method. In this sense, the Author will apply the formant approach with the aim both to dismantle the ideological substrate veiled by conventional views and to discover the deeper potentialities of Comparative Law. This kind of «aletheic» operation, meant as the generative source of the interpretative tradition, allows to discuss and to reassess three main issues: 1. the nature of comparative law as academic discipline and its aiming to provide tools for global governance of the legal field in today’s world; 2. the process of definition of Legal Origins and law reforms made by the World Bank; 3. the Jurisprudential implications of this approach.

Watt Further information Comprising an array of distinguished contributors, this pioneering volume of original contributions explores theoretical and empirical issues in comparative law. The innovative, interpretive approach found here combines explorative scholarship and research with thoughtful, qualitative critiques of the field. The book promotes a deeper appreciation of classical theories and offers new ways to re-orient the study of legal transplants and transnational codes. Methods of Comparative Law brings to bear new thinking on topics including: the mutual relationship between space and law; the plot that structures legal narratives, identities and judicial interpretations; a strategic approach to legal decision making; and the inner potentialities of the ‘comparative law and economics’ approach to the field. Together, the contributors reassess the scientific understanding of comparative methodologies in the field of law in order to provide both critical insights into the traditional literature and an original overview of the most recent and purposive trends. A welcome addition to the lively field of comparative law, Methods of Comparative Law will appeal to students and scholars of law, comparative law and economics. Judges and practitioners will also find much of interest here.
