Rechtsvergleichung - Sprache - Rechtsdogmatik

This edited volume includes the lectures held at the seventh German-Taiwanese colloquium in Goettingen. It focused on comparative law with respect to the link between law itself, legal doctrine and language. This topic relates to a broader German academic debate about the function and value of legal doctrine. While criticised by German scholars, the German legal doctrine is, interestingly enough, what makes German law relevant for comparison and reception by foreign legal systems. The volume also discusses the challenges of language knowledge and adequate translation, which especially concerns a country like Taiwan, which largely incorporated foreign law into their legal system. It has become an increasingly important topic in the European Union as well. Altogether, the edited volume includes a well-balanced mixture of general dogmatic contributions and exemplary case studies.
