Comparative law examines the differences and similarities between various countries’ laws and legal systems across the world, such as common, civil and socialist laws. Its significance has grown dramatically in the current era of internationalism, populism, (economic) globalization, and democratization.
Despite its relevance, Namibia lacks scholarly literature in comparative law. This book provides in-depth understanding of the theoretical framework of different legal systems and of comparative law, and contextualizes its application for the Namibian context, particularly towards a unified legal system.
