Introduction to Comparative Law by Jaakko Husa
‘A delightful and fresh approach to the comparative study of law.' (Jans Smits, Maastricht University, the Netherlands) (of the first edition). This textbook presents a clear and thought-provoking introduction to the study of comparative law. The book provides students with in-depth analyses of the major global comparative methodologies and theories. Written in a lively style, it leads the student through debates in comparative legal scholarship, both in the Western world and in the lesser studied jurisdictions, beyond Europe and North America. The second edition includes a revised structure to help the student understand the subject, an updated introductory chapter, and new material on legal transplants and globalisation. It also explores allied disciplines, including linguistics, history, and post-colonial studies giving students full context of the subject.
A sensible and sensitive overview of schools, themes, problems and challenges when 'doing' comparative law-- Maurice Adams, Tilburg University, the Netherlands
A delightful and fresh approach to the comparative study of law. -- Jans Smits, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
[The book] is well written and provides the necessary information in an understandable form. -- Igor Hron * Comenius University *
This is an excellent textbook... I found the book to be very detailed, informative and written in a very accessible way. -- Katarina Trimmings * University of Aberdeen *
Professor Husa has written a remarkable book on this subject. Contemporary thinking is emphasised with a tip of the hat to the development of this area of law. What has been missing from many writings in this area is why students should study this topic and how it might be applied. Professor Husa has addressed modern thinking in comparative law, its methods and its applications together with acknowledging some of the difficulties of doing so, something others have skipped. An excellent introduction and text. -- Tony Meacham * Coventry University *
