ABOUT THE BOOK
A title in the JCL Studies in Comparative Law, Second Series.
Every discipline perceives and constructs the world in its own way, structuring an aspect of reality and developing a research program and methodology with a specific vision that forms a special world picture of the discipline. The essays in this volume address the dialectics of the individual, national or other legal systems, the particular/common, and the (non)existence of the general/global, as the basis of a comparative law world picture, presenting for the first time its complex philosophical and historical vision. The view of law as a "national" discipline disregarded the law of nations and non-Western realities and the interaction of state legal orders with other normative orders. As shown here, a paradigmatic change is underway as awareness of this larger picture takes root.
