Features: As for comparative law, the th International Congress of Comparative Law held in Paris in 1900 was undoubtedly a landmark event. Since then, comparative law has gradually risen, and more precisely, the development of comparative law has begun to shift from implicit to explicit, with its status in legal education, legal research, and legal practice becoming increasingly prominent. The 20th century holds a particularly unique transitional significance for comparative law compared to other branches of law. During this century, what important events, prominent figures, and works have emerged in comparative law? What influential research institutions, journals, and conferences have been established? What were the research hotspots in different periods? What are the main challenges it faces today? What will be the future trends? These questions all require further exploration and summary. This book delves into the aforementioned elements of comparative law, focusing on a systematic review and explanation of the evolution and development of comparative law in major countries, including: European countries where comparative law emerged earlier, achieved significant accomplishments, and had a broad impact, such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom; American countries where comparative law has rapidly developed and is gradually taking a leading role, such as the United States; and Asian countries like Japan and China, which have both similarities and differences in the development process of comparative law. By touching on specific points and integrating historical analysis with theoretical discussion, the book provides a relatively comprehensive outline of the evolution of comparative law in the 20th century, summarizes its achievements and shortcomings, and looks ahead to the future.
