Résumé

This is the English version of the third (1996) German edition of the modern classic, Zweigert & Kötz's Introduction to Comparative Law. It is fully revised and updated (some chapters being added and others dropped) but the familiar structure and easy style remain much the same. First the book discusses the nature of Comparative Law, its functions, aims, methods and history, then it surveys the main features of the major legal families of the world.
In the Second Part, the book provides a model of comparative law in action, comparing, contrasting and evaluating the different approaches (and the less different solutions) to problems of the law of obligations in the major systems of private law. In addition to offering an excellent grounding in comparative private law, this hook serves as an essential basis for further research. No comparative lawyer or student of comparative law can operate without it.
The translation into English is again by Tony Weir.
Hein Kötz is Director of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Private Law in Hamburg, as was the late Konrad Zweigert. Tony Weir is a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
