The comparative study of law and the institutions of law have enriched our understanding of the role law plays in our society by comparing law and legal institutions in different countries, but we have lacked a strong theoretical structure. Scholars studying the role of law in society by applying economic theories have offered a parsimonious theoretical structure with which to understand the relationship between law and society but have tended to focus only on American legal issues. Ugo Mattei joins insights from both areas of scholarship in a productive relationship that furthers our understa

The book discusses strategies of comparison and explores some new perspectives in comparative research.

Rather their aim is to present a critical appraisal, a "state of the art". This 2nd edition has been completely revised with the addition of three new chapters
