Abstract

The article examines the unfulfilled promise of interdisciplinarity in comparative law and suggests a new focus for it: namely, in legal geography's study of the multiple dimensions of law and space. This article maintains that comparative law may benefit from a fresh dialogue with legal geographers, whose critical perspective, in both theory and practice, to law and space has enabled them to develop their field in a truly interdisciplinary way. This article will argue that it is time for comparative law scholars to enter into a more constructive dialogue with legal geographers, accessing their more systematic conceptualisations of space, place and scale in order to better understand – and critique – the entangled relations of law and space in these, our 'interesting' times.
