Introduction: Convergence and divergence in times of crisis -- Part I: Conceptual and theoretical perspectives -- Terminology -- The concept of legal convergence -- Resisting legal convergence -- Part II: Thematic and jurisdictional case studies 1: private law -- Bankruptcy law in the United States -- Labour law in the United Kingdom -- Consumer law in Ghana -- Family and child law in Chile -- Contract law in Germany -- Part III: Thematic and jurisdictional case studies 2: public law -- Environmental law in China -- Healthcare law in Denmark -- Immigration law in Russia -- Social rights in Australia -- Part IV: Convergence and divergence in context -- Harmonisation and European integration in times of crisis -- International judicial cooperation in times of crisis -- The influence of binding international instruments on domestic laws in times of crisis -- The role of soft law in times of crisis -- Part V: Concluding comments -- Conclusion: Are legal systems converging or diverging?.

This book focuses on two main aspects: legal convergence and crises. Despite the abundance of literature on legal convergence over the years, the question of whether legal systems are converging or diverging remains unanswered. This book provides a valuable contribution to questions concerning comparative law, legal convergence, and legal transplants by examining them through the lens of crises. Crises challenge countries' legal systems and prompt institutional responses to tackle perceived shortcomings in the law. The crises witnessed by the world over the last two decades have highlighted two seemingly contradictory tendencies: (i) increased cooperation and a natural phenomenon of legal convergence as states find common solutions to common problems; (ii) a preference for state-centric solutions, which prioritise domestic interests; rejection of supranational standards and harmonisation efforts; and protection of domestic sovereignty. This book aims to determine whether, in times of crisis, foreign laws, rules, and concepts can transcend countries' domestic legal systems, or whether states' responses to crises lead to legal divergence and disintegration. Unlike traditional studies on convergence, this edited volume takes an international and cross-thematic approach, with chapters focusing on how legislation in selected jurisdictions has responded to crises. Therefore, the book's originality lies in its truly global nature, with chapters and authors surveying jurisdictions in Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The breadth of legal areas covered, with a mix of private and public law, also add to its uniqueness. From Russia to Germany and from bankruptcy law to environmental law, the book examines whether, as a result of crises, policy and legal responses have adopted, copied, or implemented features, policies, principles and/or rules from other legal systems (convergence), or have departed from existing legal norms, adopting policies and rules that differ from those of other countries (divergence)
