The textbook presents a current view of the history of the law of foreign countries through the prism of the originality, equivalence and diversity of the legal traditions of the peoples of the East and West. The subject of study is the content of leading legal traditions, which give an idea of the range of historical types of law, the trends and conditions of their development from archaic forms to more complex ones, and the possibilities of their renewal and reception when changing social structures. Each legal tradition is considered according to a general analytical model: 1) historical context and bearers of the tradition, 2) forms of law, the basis of its understanding, interpretation, application, 3) characteristic institutions in the most important areas of legal regulation.
The first volume of the textbook explains the theoretical foundations of the historical and legal narrative, as well as the legal traditions of the agrarian societies of Eurasia from the perspective of three ideal types: “the right of judges” (a means of resolving disputes in Mesopotamia, Republican Rome, medieval England), “the right of scientists” (the path of a righteous life in India, Islamic countries of the Middle East, medieval Western Europe), “the right of the ruler” (a means of governing society in imperial China).
The textbook meets the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education.
For undergraduate students, graduate students and teachers of law universities and faculties in Russia and the CIS countries.
