The book is a short introduction to comparative law and economics, a growing field in the interaction between law, economics and comparative political science. It is a guide to economists, lawyers and political scientists looking for a brief overview. It includes both strands of the traditional literature, namely the role of legal families and microeconomic analysis of legal rules in a comparative perspective. The study of courts at the global level is complemented by comparative judicial politics.

“Comparative Law and economics have matured significantly since Mattei’s path-breaking book on the subject 25 years ago. This book, by one of its foremost experts, makes that experience accessible.” – Ralf Michaels, Director, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Chair in Global Law, Queen Mary University, UK.
