Synopsis
The first edition of this prize winning work sought to recast the discipline of comparative law and provided a new and inclusive means of reconciling the diverse laws and peoples of the world, through placing national laws in the broader context of legal traditions., The first edition of this prize winning work sought to recast the discipline of comparative law and provided a new and inclusive means of reconciling the diverse laws and peoples of the world, through placing national laws in the broader context of legal traditions. The new edition further develops these themes. Glenn examines seven of the world's most important and complex legal traditions in detail; chtonic (or indigenous) law; talmudic law; civil law; Islamic law; common law; Hindu law and Asian law. Each tradition is examined in terms of its institutions and substantive law, its foundations concepts and methods, its attitudes towards the concept of change, and its teaching on relations with other traditions and peoples. Glenn considers both the common influences which have shaped these traditions and the major and important differences between them. Ultimately he demonstrates that despite their differences, the various traditions are fundamentally commensurable and are the best means of facilitating human diversity in an increasingly interdependent world., The first edition of this prize winning work sought to recast the discipline of comparative law and provided a new and inclusive means of reconciling the diverse laws and peoples of the world, through placing national laws in the broader context of legal traditions.

- v***v (2056)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
