How to Do Projects with Comparative Law - Notes of an Expedition to the Common Core

Günter Frankenberg, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main

A GJ Advances article.

Abstract

As a non-private-law scholar the author ventures on a journey into a territory virtually unknown to him and tells a rather sketchy story of his encounters with the indigenous and ingenious inhabitants of that territory and their work. The focus of this portrayal of the group of the Common Core Project takes place around some questions the author tries to answer: How may the unity and identity of the group be constructed? How do the group members define their adversaries of and the dangers to their project? And which goals do they proclaim to fight for? The author then takes a brief look at the tools the group uses to gather and order the data and tries to unearth what may be bones of contention.
