About this book
emerging developments, issues, and perspectives across different branches of law. It
consists of research from scholars around the world with the view that comparative
study would initiate dialogue on law and legal cultures across jurisdictions. The themes
vary from jurisprudence of comparative law and its methodologies to intrinsic details
of specific laws like memory laws. The sites of the enquiries in different chapters aredifferent legal systems, recent judgements, and aspects of human rights in a comparative
perspective. It comprises seven parts wherein the first part focuses on general themes
of comparative law, the second part discusses private law through a comparative lens,
and the third, fourth and fifth parts examine aspects of public law with special focus
on constitutional law, human rights and economic laws. The sixth part engages withcriminal law and the last part of the book covers recent developments in the field of
comparative law. This book intends to trigger a discussion on issues of comparative
law from the vantage point of Global South, not only focusing on the Global North.
It examines legal systems of countries from far-east and sub-continent and presents
insights on their working. It encourages readers to gain a nuanced understanding of
the working of law, legal systems and legal cultures, adding to existing deliberations
on the constituents of an ideal system of law.
