Conclusion: A Research Agenda for Comparative Law

Jaakko Husa

Chapter 11 in A Research Agenda for Comparative Law, 2024, pp 217-219 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Conclusion highlights the key theses for the future of comparative law. First, there is no one-size-fits-all in the comparative study of law. Besides legal doctrine one can draw from history, anthropology, socio-legal, decolonial, linguistic or non-western bodies of knowledge and their accompanying methodologies. Second, comparative study of law means necessarily studying law in context. All the chapters in the book make it clear that studying law comparatively requires seeing law against its context. Third, comparative law needs to be aware of its intellectual baggage. The chapters struggle to get free from the paradigmatic ideas originating from the past comparative law. Fourth, comparative law as a field needs to be - in one form or another - interdisciplinary as to its nature.
