Pt. I. In search of methodology -- 1. Introduction -- 2. The comparative method : which method?!? -- 3. Comparing comparisons -- Pt. II. In search of justice reform -- 4. The most neglected branch -- 5. Between rocks and hard places -- 6. Emergence from the dilemmas -- 7. Conclusion : the prospects for a comparative methodology in global justice reform.
Review: "Global justice reform critiques and rethinks two neglected subjects: the nature of comparison in the field of comparative law and the struggles of national judicial systems to meet global rule of law objectives. Hiram E. Chodosh offers a candid look at the surprisingly underdeveloped methodology of comparative legal studies, and provides a creative conceptual framework for defining and understanding the whys, whats, and hows of comparison. Additionally, Chodosh demonstrates how theories of comparative law translate into practice, using contemporary global justice reform initiatives as a case study, with a particular focus on Indonesia and India."--BOOK JACKET.
