The paper explores the possibility to decolonise comparative (constitutional) law by reconstructing the scholarship on the decolonisation of comparative legal studies, as detailed in the following abstract.
Abstract: Is it possible to decolonise comparative (constitutional) law? And what does it mean practically to do so? Those questions are not anymore avoidable by lawyers, and especially by comparative lawyers who make the comparative tools and the analysis of foreign legal system the distinctive pillar of their own identity as researchers. In light of the urgency of such interrogatives, the contribution aims at reconstructing the scholarship on the decolonisation of comparative legal studies, and especially of comparative (constitutional) law, exploring the main reflections and challenges in the field by following the practical development of a research from its framing (epistemology) to the actual endeavor (methodology) and finally to the research purpose and impact (dissemination and outreach).
