Comparative law is increasingly recognized as an essential reference point for judicial decision-making. The English courts have long been open to considering how legal problems are solved in other jurisdictions and there have been parallel developments across the Channel. Comparative law is gaining in utility and relevance in the decisions of the courts. This book is thus extremely timely, bringing together a collection of essays by distinguished jurists from the judiciary and academia, and providing an important contribution to analysis of this topic. Contributors focus on a variety of European jurisdictions, but also look at North America and South Africa. The first part of the book deals with the problems and possibilities of comparative law in national courts. Discussion ranges from the problems of proof of foreign law in national courts to legal borrowings and institutional mechanisms for international judicial co-operation in national courts. Part II, on European Law, contains a range of chapters exploring in a number of dimensions the suggestion that an intensification of comparative law methodology in the courts might be attributable to the growth and impact of European supra-national law. Part III takes the argument into the field of administrative law, an area which has traditionally been relatively impervious to comparative cross-fertilisation between European states, and finally Part IV covers a widely diverse set of topics in the field of general and mainly private law.

Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Arbeiten von spanischen und österreichischen Literaturwissenschaftlern, die im Rahmen eines von Marisa Siguán (Universität Barcelona) und Karl Wagner (Universität Wien) geleiteten bilateralen Forschungsprojekts intertextuelle und interkulturelle Beziehungen zwischen österreichischer und spanischer Literatur im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert erforscht haben. Die Beiträge des Bandes konzentrieren auf folgende symptomatische Aspekte der literarisch-kulturellen Entwicklung in Spanien und Österreich: - auf Differenzen, Besonderheiten und unterschiedliche Prozesse, die Epochenbegriffe wie Realismus und Fin de siècle nachhaltig transformiert haben. - auf das dynamische Verhältnis von Zentrum und Peripherie in den literarischen Manifestationen, das in besonderer Weise vergleichende Kultur-Analysen herausfordert. - auf Bewältigungsversuche des Horrors der Geschichte in der Literatur beider Länder, die ein fundamentales Thema für die Literatur der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts darstellt. Dabei interessiert insbesondere auch die Frage, inwieweit sich bei den Tätern und deren Nachfahren ein Bewusstsein von dem gebildet hat, was sie taten; Versuchen, die Monstrosität der je eigenen Vergangenheit revisionistisch zu verharmlosen und mit einer selbstzufriedenen Geschichtslosigkeit kompatibel zu machen, gilt besondere kritische Aufmerksamkeit.

Viewing the contested theme Comparative Law as an 'Enigma', this book explores its fundamental issues as sub-themes, each covered in two variations. After the Overture, the author pulls some strands together in the Intermezzo, uses a free hand in the Cadenza, and asks the reader to draw her own conclusions in the Finale. By this method two fundamentally opposed views are exposed in each Chapter. The what, why and how of comparative law, comparative law and legal education, comparative law and judges, and comparative law and law reform by transposition are explored. The author also examines current debates of comparative law such as law and culture, deconstruction of classifications, mixing systems, limits of comparability, convergence/non-convergence and ius commune novum. By following this two-pronged approach, the book covers many important aspects of comparative law in a refreshing manner not seen in any other work. It is provocative and discursive, bringing together for the reader major developments of comparative law. The book ends by asking 'Where are we going?'.
