<br/><br/> 'This book presents a fresh contextualised and cosmopolitan perspective on comparative law for both students and scholars. It critically discusses established approaches to comparative law, but also presents more modern ones, such as socio-legal and numerical comparative law. Its con-textualised approach draws on examples from politics, eco-nomics and development studies to provide an original con-tribution to topics of comparative law'--
