Summary

The statement that ‘comparative law is an “open subject” that can absorb further research not traditionally included’1 means that there is a high degree of flexibility in the method and scope of comparative law. However, this does not imply a methodological relativism where ‘anything goes’. Treating methods seriously leads to the need to reflect about the advantages and disadvantages of certain methods. This position is reaffirmed in this final chapter. It will continue the discussion about the role of other disciplines for comparative law while also providing some general suggestions for comparative law research.
