"This volume is unique... a spectacular arrangement of [the authors'] work. [The book] articulates for us and, at the same time, instructs us about where the field of comparative legal studies has been and, possibly, where it is heading. The reader is asked to rethink common scholarly assumptions and approaches with regard to the role of law and politics in building institutions and social relations and their relationship to shaping our research agendas. It advances theory building and demonstrates the utility and flaws of a wide-range of methodological approaches. It exemplifies what is exciting about this field as it deploys and helps to create a transdisciplinary canon."--Christine Harrington, The International Journal of Constitutional Law
