The Cambridge companion to comparative constitutional law
\"What is the purpose of comparative constitutional law? Comparing constitutions allows us to consider the similarities and differences in forms of government, and the normative philosophies behind constitutional choices. Constitutional comparisons offer \"hermeneutic\" help: they enable us to see \"our\" own constitution with different eyes and to locate its structural and normative choices by references to alternatives evident in other constitutional orders\"-- Provided by publisher.

Comparative law and economics
Contemporary law and economics has greatly expanded its scope of inquiry as well as its sphere of influence. By focusing specifically on a comparative approach, this Handbook offers new insights for developing current law and economics research. It also provides stimuli for further research, exploring the idea that the comparative method offers a valuable way to enrich law and economics scholarship. With contributions from leading scholars from around the world, the Handbook sets the context by examining the past, present and future of comparative law and economics before addressing this approach to specific issues within the fields of intellectual property, competition, contracts, torts, judicial behaviour, tax, property law, energy markets, regulation and environmental agreements. This topical Handbook will be of great interest and value to scholars and postgraduate students of law and economics, looking for new directions in their research. It will also be a useful reference to policymakers and those working at an institutional level.

Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change
Comparative constitutional change has recently emerged as a distinct field in the
study of constitutional law. It is the study of the way constitutions change through
formal and informal mechanisms, including amendment, replacement, total and partial
revision, adaptation, interpretation, disuse and revolution. The shift of focus from
constitution-making to constitutional change makes sense, since amendment power is
the means used to refurbish constitutions in established democracies, enhance their
adaptation capacity and boost their efficacy. Adversely, constitutional change is
also the basic apparatus used to orchestrate constitutional backslide as the erosion
of liberal democracies and democratic regression is increasingly affected through
legal channels of constitutional change.
Routledge Handbook of Comparative Constitutional Change provides a
comprehensive reference tool for all those working in the field and a thorough
landscape of all theoretical and practical aspects of the topic. Coherence from this
aspect does not suggest a common view, as the chapters address different topics, but
reinforces the establishment of comparative constitutional change as a distinct
field. The book brings together the most respected scholars working in the field,
and presents a genuine contribution to comparative constitutional studies,
comparative public law, political science and constitutional history.

COMPARING ENVIRONMENTAL LAW SYSTEMS
This article revisits the overlooked field of comparative environmental law. It examines contributions to this field from the late 1960s to 2022, highlighting the methodologies proposed, their shortcomings, the main aspects and angles taken by the literature, and the curious lack of engagement by experts in comparative law proper with environmental law systems. On the basis of a structured examination of the literature, the article extracts four main aims or purposes that may guide this line of research: (i) clarifying the initial system by contrasting it with a foreign system; (ii) using the basic conceptual features of a known system to analyse and understand a foreign unknown system; (iii) evaluating and fine-tuning a system or an aspect thereof; and (iv) extracting analytical categories that can serve to map the entire field or areas of it.
