Focus And Scope
This journal serves as an interdisciplinary arena for the academic discussion and analysis of law issues through a comparative law perspective. Manuscripts are welcome from various legal research approaches, including normative, empirical, socio-legal, and critical legal studies (CLS), provided the comparative dimension remains central to the analysis. Descriptive manuscripts are also considered for publication, as long as they present a comparative case study or contextual comparison rather than a purely historical account.
The journal focuses on the comparative study of:
- Comparative constitutional law, covering the comparison of constitutional systems and state structures across jurisdictions
- Comparative civil and private law, covering the comparison of civil law traditions, common law traditions, and customary law systems
- Comparative human rights law, covering the comparison of human rights protection frameworks between countries or legal systems
- Comparative public health law, covering the comparison of health law and policy responses across jurisdictions
- Comparative civil society and legal culture studies, covering the comparison of legal culture, civic participation, and social movements in relation to law
All manuscripts are expected to situate their analysis within a comparative framework, for example comparing European Law, Common Law, Asian Values, or other legal traditions and jurisdictions.
In the hope that this journal serves as a platform for discussion and debate, a plurality of comparative perspectives is welcomed.
