Contrarianism has made it exceedingly difficult to find one's way in the field where there are drastically varying views on the basic issues.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book guides readers through divisive debates and disagreements and helps to draw useful conclusions. Instead of lamenting comparative law's feeble place in the legal academia or to fantasise about the supposed great future of a unified discipline, the book highlights the collisions and tracks their influence on the field. By focusing on tensions underlying the field this book encourages readers to think critically while studying law comparatively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaakko Husa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509985565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509985562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jaakko Husa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588388270335,"sku":"9781509985562","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contrarian-jurists-jaakko-husa-9781509985562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
