About this title

Synopsis

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. Comparative Law and Jurisprudence in Namibia 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. It addresses topics such as comparative law's conceptual framework, the interplay between courts and comparative law, and comparative law praxis, or the practical application thereof. The chapters span across all levels of comparativism and promote a multidisciplinary approach to discourse including altering Namibian legal education. Futhermore the collection accelerates required legislative change in Namibia to guarantee a legal structure aligned with societal and constitutional imperatives in the twenty-first century.
