Comparative International Law  

Foundations and Critique

Edited by Robert Schütze and Mathias Siems

The concept of comparative international law emerged early in the last century, but the discipline still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations.

This ambitious collection fills that gap. It examines key concepts of comparative international law, such as legal analogies and families of international law, while offering critical perspectives on it. With contributors carefully selected for their expertise, they present diverse and thought-provoking views from both international law and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge contribution to a topical and growing field of research.

Robert Schütze is Professor of European and Global Law at Durham University, UK; and Luiss, Italy.

Mathias Siems is Professor of Private Law and Market Regulation at the European University Institute, Italy.
