Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Global Legal History A Comparative Law Perspective by Andrés Botero-Bernal and Joshua C Tate and José Reinaldo de Lima Lopes
This collection brings together a group of international legal historians to further scholarship in different areas of comparative and regional legal history. Authors are drawn from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to produce new insights into the relationship between law and society across time and space. The book is divided into three parts: legal history and legal culture across borders, constitutional experiences in global perspective, and the history of judicial experiences. The three themes, and the chapters corresponding to each, provide a balance between public law and private law topics, and reflect a variety of methodologies, both empirical and theoretical. The volume highlights the gains that may be made by comparing the development of law in different countries and different time periods.The book will be of interest to an international readership in Legal History, Comparative Law, Law and Society, and History.show more
