Summary
" ... This publication is the result of a comparative research project of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg/Germany. The initial intention was to have just some summarizing reflections in the final chapter of that project. However, very soon the question arose, if and to what extent one might draw more general conclusions from this project, and how these might be incorporated in the standard concepts of comparative criminal law. ... there is anything but unity in relation to the aims and methods of comparative criminal law. This starts with the different understanding of concepts and terms and goes as far as a divergent assessment of the practical importance of comparative criminal law. In order to deal with these questions, a more comprehensive examination was necessary; this was incorporated in the publication of the project as its final part and is here presented in an updated English version."-- Page 3.
