Summary

Some traditional comparative lawyers denounce postmodern comparative law as being ‘incomprehensible’.1 Indeed, it is often fairly complex. Yet this chapter aims to show that it is possible to make it comprehensible. It also highlights both its strengths and limitations. To start with, Section A explains that ‘postmodernism’ is understood as a wide label for research that challenges the traditional method but does not merely suggest ‘modern’ adjustments.
