Adapting Legal Cultures
«...brings to the forefront critical debates that demand attention in any serious comparative endeavour. Fiona Haines, University of Melbourne The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology, Vol. 38, No. 1 2005 The collection of essays by Nelken and Feest makes an important contribution to both comparative law and legal sociology particularly because it does not confine itself to the classical legal systems which many comparative lawyers (like myself) have studied, and because it endeavours to create a dialogue between comparative lawyers and legal sociologists in terms of both theory and the analysis of particular legal developments. A combination of the two fields of legal scholarship presents a significant dimension to contemporary comparative law, and this collection will be a major point of reference in both fields. In the end, this book marks an important step in developing an agenda for comparative law in our contemporary world. John Bell International and Comparative Law Quarterly February 2002 The chapters in this volume offer a range of valuable insights Book Review Editor Tilburg Foreign Law Review April 2003»
