The End of Comparative Law
Mathias M. Siems
Durham University - Durham Law School; University of Cambridge - Centre for Business Research
Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 2, pp. 133-150, 2007
Abstract:
Following the 1900 congress in Paris, the beginning of the 20th century saw comparative law emerge as a significant discipline. This paper suggests that the early 21st century is seeing the decline, or maybe even the 'end', of comparative law. In contrast to other claims which see the 21st century as the 'era of comparative law', there are at least four trends which give rise to pessimism: 'the disregard', 'the complexity', 'the simplicity', and 'the irrelevance' of comparative law. These phenomena will be explained in the body of this paper; the concluding part considers suggestions as to how to proceed further.
