Research Dialogue Series
The 2019 Global Law Research Dialogue Series focuses upon regional approaches to law-making, cyber law-making and methodology, as topical case studies, political problems or eternal legal methodology issues.
It draws together an array of scholars from public and private law, governance, science and technology, political economy and practice to reflect upon our understanding of law beyond the Nation State. All events are free and open to the public and feature a diversity of guests and City scholars.
A summary of the debates has been published in a CLS Working Paper "Whose Global law? Comparative, Regional and Cyber Approaches to Law-Making"
New Events Summer 2019
Below are the details from three events held in 2019.
Comparative Methodologies and Global Law
18 June, 2019 6 - 7:30pm
Comparative scholarship has played a key role in identifying, affirming, or disregarding the existence and development of globally converged norms. This event reflects on that contribution from a methodological perspective. How should country samples be selected for study, and why? Should we measure similarity, or difference? This panel hears from leading scholars with experience in comparison from empirical, doctrinal, and theoretical perspectives.
