Book Description

In late Ottoman South-Easte Europe, traditional Ottoman law, court systems and court personnel on the one hand, and ultra-mode French and German/Austrian law on the other, clashed. Thus, more than ever before, this region lay on the "tectonic boundary" of several legal continental shelves. This location makes South Easte Europe a laboratory in which elements from different legal cultures coexist, mutually influence each other and merge with each other:A legal space characterised by plurality and hybridity, which due to these characteristics ultimately appears more mode than the - at least supposedly - homogeneous legal areas on the individual legal continental shelves.
