Providing a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the legal approach to key areas of law within different legal systems, this book offers a blueprint for comparative legal study by evaluating the current epistemological debate on comparative law and comparative legal research methods.Substantive law, the law of obligations, commercial and corporate law within the major legal systems of the world are all examined and compared. While France and Germany are generally used as the archetypal civil law jurisdictions and English law as the main common law comparator, this third edition also examines the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet era and socialist legal influences as well as non-Western legal traditions. Fully updated and revised to include all recent developments, this edition also includes a broad historical introduction and outlines changes in EC Law. It assesses the possibility of Europeanization of national legal systems and certain legal topics, the impact of the globalization of legal institutions and the evolving 'new world order' in the early twenty-first century. Written in a clear, user-friendly style, Comparative Law in a Changing World is an accessible source for undergraduates and postgraduates wishing to trace the influence of common law and civil law legal traditions on jurisdictions across the world.

Praise for the first edition; 'The first edition of this lucidly written, helpfully and logically structured, sensibly indexed, and very scholarly book, packed with so much knowledge from so many sources, was an enormous help to teachers and students of comparative law both at under-graduate and post-graduate levels. It assisted lecturers in other subjects including contract, tort, sale of goods, and employment to add an authoritative comparative element to their course. The second edition, which takes into account subsequent events, developments and currents of thought, further enhances it great value. The Law Teacher, Andrew Watson, Inns of Court School of Law.
