The Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law

'An exceptionally interesting and innovative contribution to cosmopolitan comparative law. It offers many new perspectives from around the globe, on both traditional and emerging topics, and ranges widely to encompass law in spaces beyond and within the national state, and increasingly standard-based and technical methods of ruling.' David Nelken, Professor of Comparative and Transnational Law at King's College London 'Some may argue that handbooks are outdated in the new digital world; our “information society” accesses whatever it needs online. This handbook offers a perfect counterargument to this tenuous claim. I am convinced that, because of its comprehensiveness and elaborate argument, this companion volume will serve as a premier authority for generations of comparatists, as well as other seekers of legal knowledge.' Balázs Fekete, Professor of Law at Eötvös Loránd University 'This is a rich, innovative and expertly written handbook. The fundamental thrust of this book is a critical appraisal of comparative law from multiple perspectives, ranging from methodologies, legal families, key themes, to non-state-centric fields. The handbook achieves a quantum leap for comparative law scholarship and surely points an adventurous route for those who wish to embark on deeper inquiries.' Shen Wei, Distinguished Professor of Law at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Law School
