CompaƯraƯtive legal studies, such as his, are not only invaƯluable for fathoƯming the various ways in which society can exist, but also pave the way for future legal experts to one day achieve the long desired co-exisƯtence and mutual respect between diffeƯrenƯcing cultures and reliƯgions. Cultural and reliƯgious diverƯsity is a safeƯguard against the so called 'clash of civiƯlizaƯtions', which seems to be such a problem nowaƯdays. A settled, law-abiding popuƯlaƯtion in every multi-ethnic country underƯmines the...
This book features original essays by leading academics and emerging researchers written in honour of a legal comparatist who, over the course of four decades, has played a major role in comparative law’s development: Pier Giuseppe Monateri.

Carl Schmitt's thought serves as a warning against the dangers of complacency entailed by triumphant liberalism.
