This invaluable and timely book provides a radical approach to researching comparative law in our increasingly technology-led legal and economic order. It provides an in-depth examination of practical case studies, showcasing the real-world application of quantitative methods and theoretical approaches for analysing legal issues.
Over the course of this insightful book, Pier Giuseppe Monateri and Mauro Balestrieri thoroughly investigate the theory that the intention of law is not just to resolve conflicts, but to prevent their occurrence. Chapters critically analyse the historical and contemporary issues in quantitative methods, examine the main themes and approaches involved in quantitative and comparative law discussions, and present original research to illustrate key ideas. Providing an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws on insights and methodologies from other fields beyond law, including economics, statistics and political science.
This authoritative book is an essential resource for students and scholars of comparative law, empirical legal studies and research methods. It will also benefit law clerks, legal advisors and policymakers.

Critical Acclaim
‘Was our critical horizon not that of incommensurability, as the world order was insidiously overtaken by neoliberal “metric legality”? Taking us by complete surprise, this brilliant political-legal model of “friction theory” uses quantitative methods to understand social approaches to law and their (often perverse...) effects in the empirical world.’
