Greening the Civil Codes: Comparative Private Law and Environmental Protection
This book examines the greening of civil codes from a comparative perspective. It takes into account the increasing requirements of supranational rules, discusses the necessity to expand distributive justice, and reflects on which private law legal tools may potentially be employed to defend nature's interests.
Greening the Civil Codes: Comparative Private Law and Environmental Protection
This book examines the greening of civil codes from a comparative perspective. It takes into account the increasing requirements of supranational rules, which favour measures to reduce global warming and its negative environmental impacts; it discusses the necessity to expand distributive justice given the current ecological emergency; and it reflects on which private law legal tools potentially may be employed to defend nature’s interests. The work fills a gap in the growing literature on developing rights of nature and ecosystem in transnational law. While the focus is on the environmental issues pertaining to the new civil codes and new projects of civil codes, the book promotes interdisciplinary research applicable to a range of environmental and natural resources–focused courses across the social sciences, especially those related to comparative law systems, legal anthropology, legal traditions in the world, political science and international relations.
The Making of the Civil Codes
The book provides in-depth analysis of the new perspectives on codifications, and of the related reforms, that give recognition to new ideas, new needs, and new techniques. The contributions from several jurisdictions collected in this book provide a much needed evaluation of the current impact of codification on the law and are a first, essential reference for assessing the importance of civil law codifications in the contemporary world.
Comparative Succession Law
Launching a major new research project examining the principles of succession law in comparative perspective, this book discusses the formalities which the law imposes in order for a person to make a testamentary disposal of property. Among the questions considered are the following. How are wills made? What precisely are the rules - as to the signature of the testator, the use of witnesses, the need for a notary public or lawyer, and so on? Is there is a choice of will-type and, if so, which type is used most often and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How common is will-making or do most people die intestate? What happens if formalities are not observed? How can requiremen...

The Chinese Civil Code in the Global Legal Order
This volume offers a unique, comprehensive view of the contents, context and potential of the Civil Code that in 2021 entered into force in the People’s Republic of China. The twenty-three essays herein collected, authored by distinguished Chinese and non-Chinese scholars, describe inner and outer perceptions about the Chinese Civil Code and analyze its likely impact within and outside the country. In so doing, they shed light not only on the comparative origins of current Chinese rules, but also on the potential influence that these rules may have in comparative terms in the future.

The Future of Contract Law in Latin America
This book presents, analyses and evaluates the Principles of Latin American Contract Law (PLACL), a recent set of provisions aiming at the harmonisation of contract law at a regional level. As such, the PLACL are the most recent exponent of the many proposals for transnational sets of 'principles of contract law' that were drafted or published over the past 20 years, either at the global or the regional level. These include the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, the Principles of European Contract Law, the (European) Draft Common Frame of Reference and the Principles of Asian Contract Law. The PLACL are the product of a working group comprising legal academics from Ar...
Scritti in onore di Mario G. Losano
Mario Losano è uno studioso eccellente, la cui produzione scientifica sconfina nei più disparati campi del sapere giuridico e oltre: ha arricchito le nostre conoscenze nella filosofia del diritto, nella teoria generale del diritto, nella storia del diritto, nell’informatica giuridica, nel diritto comparato, nella filosofia politica, solo per citare i settori nei quali è una riconosciuta autorità scientifica. È poi un intellettuale mosso da un’autentica passione civile e politica, e anzi un raro esempio di intellettuale: i suoi lavori spiccano per la tensione interdisciplinare, oltre che per caratteristiche decisamente poco diffuse in un mondo sempre più animato da tecnocrati dediti all’iperspecializzazione. Gli autori e le autrici di questi Scritti sono studiosi attivi nel diritto comparato, nella filosofia e nella teoria generale del diritto che hanno inteso celebrare, tra le tante, una particolare virtù dell’Onorato: aver gettato un ponte tra queste discipline, segnandone in modo indelebile l’agenda e lo statuto epistemologico
