Comparative Law of Obligations
This comprehensive book provides a comparative overview of legal institutions that intersect with everyday life: contracts, unilateral legal transactions, torts, negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment. These institutions form the core of the Law of Obligations, which is examined in this book from the perspective of all major legal traditions including Civil, Common, Islamic and Chinese law.
Data Protection in the Internet
This book identifies and explains the different national approaches to data protection – the legal regulation of the collection, storage, transmission and use of information concerning identified or identifiable individuals – and determines the extent to which they could be harmonised in the foreseeable future. In recent years, data protection has become a major concern in many countries, as well as at supranational and international levels. In fact, the emergence of computing technologies that allow lower-cost processing of increasing amounts of information, associated with the advent and exponential use of the Internet and other communication networks and the widespread liberalization ...
Civil Law Studies
The glacier of Ancient Vedic wisdom flowed down the Himalayan Kailash and watered the Hindu philosophy. The Shrutis (that which was heard) and the Smritis (that which was remembered) reflected this Vedic wisdom. Thinkers and philosophers of the time expressed their thoughts in prosaic Dharmasutras and later on in more refined poetic Dharmashastras. The Smritkars followed with their own interpretation, symbolically represented by the Code of Manu. That jurisprudence was responsible for taking the country through the Golden pages of its history. With the British dominance, India was plunged in Common Law Jurisprudence, interwoven with Hindu Philosophy. The Midnight country awoke in 1947 to an ...

Towards a Universal Justice? Putting International Courts and Jurisdictions into Perspective
The recent proliferation of international courts and jurisdictions raises a number of important issues ranging from the redefinition of the role of the International Court of Justice to the recent emergence of domestic courts as international jurisdictions. Towards a Universal Justice? Putting International Courts and Jurisdictions into Perspective, containing edited articles presented at the International Law Association’s Regional Conference held in Lisbon, offers a comprehensive overview of those issues and outlines challenges ahead for every branch of international law.
Community Courts and Postcolonial Legal Pluralism
By focusing on the role of community courts in Mozambique, this book offers a postcolonial perspective on legal pluralism. In Mozambique, judicial courts are distant and expensive, and legal terminology is incomprehensible to the majority of people. As such, Mozambicans continue to rely on different normative systems to resolve their disputes – systems that have always been considered to be closer, cheaper and faster than judicial courts. This book analyses the functioning of community courts in the Mozambican capital city of Maputo. As it considers how the past shapes the relationship of the state with community courts, the book uncovers the Eurocentrism of mainstream discourses and practices of criminal justice. In response, it develops a postcolonial account of legal pluralism. By arguing that community courts can therefore be seen as the form of an otherwise neglected local knowledge, the book discusses their overlooked importance in improving widespread access to criminal justice. This book will be of value to scholars working in the areas of legal pluralism and postcolonialism and others with interest in criminal justice.

Intellectual Property and Private International Law
Seit der Zeit, in der die Rechte des geistigen Eigentums ihre heutige Form gewonnen haben, haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen fur die Entstehung und Verbreitung von Wissen und Information verandert. Neben avertikale Innovation, die in einem Unternehmen oder einer Forschergruppe stattfindet, tritt ahorizontale Innovation, die durch eine gleichzeitige Tatigkeit vieler Akteure gekennzeichnet ist. Neben die alleinige Urheberschaft tritt die kollektive Erstellung von Werken in Netzwerken wie Wikipedia. Das Internet erlaubt einen unmittelbaren Kontakt des Produzenten und des Rezipienten von Wissen und lasst so die Rolle von Informationsmittlern in neuem Licht erscheinen. Diese Veranderungen stellen ...
African Law(s)
This book takes a comparative law perspective and proposes a new approach for researching law in Africa. Western theoretical perspectives in comparative law are too Eurocentric to fully catch the peculiarities and characteristics of the African “lawscape”—in short, they are inadequate for studying African law. In this book, Professor Salvatore Mancuso considers the law in Africa from a different perspective. Deeply rooted in the culture of the African people, this approach considers African legal culture with the same legitimacy as Western legal culture, setting a precedent for future policy-making decisions relating to legislative development in Africa.
La propriété intellectuelle en droit international privé
En dépit des efforts entrepris au long du siècle dernier en vue de l’harmonisation et de l’unification internationales des législations concernant la propriété intellectuelle, des divergences significatives subsistent entre les systèmes juridiques nationaux dans ce domaine. L’idéal d’une protection universelle de contenu unitaire étant dans une large mesure inachevé, la tutelle internationale de la propriété intellectuelle se fonde encore sur les principes de l’indépendance des droits et de la territorialité. L’évolution contemporaine du droit de la propriété intellectuelle démontre toutefois une tendance très nette dans le sens d’un dépassement de la stricte...
