XXI AIDC CONFERENCE

COMPARATIVE LAW: INTELLECTUAL TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES. A SCHOLARLY DEBATE

The XXI AIDC Conference will explore the intellectual assessment of comparative law, moving from a critical re-mapping of traditional and conventional views. The aims are both to explore and debate the recent trends in legal scholarship, and to suggest arguments for a pluralistic comparative law epistemology. What is at stake is the strategic power of comparative law as a discipline in order to construct a global theorization of legal and geopolitical order; to shape and control cultural flows and forms; to articulate contemporary spatial dialectics.

Submissions may include, but are not limited to, an exploration of the following possible themes and issues:

- comparative law, governance and politics

- legal origins and law reforms

- methods and perspectives

- legitimating discourses and practices

- the globalization of contract, torts and property

- order and sovereignty

- corporate perspectives and secured transactions

- hybridity and legal systems.
