Cooperation across borders requires both knowledge of and understanding of different cultures. This is especially true when it comes to the law. This handbook is the first to comprehensively present selected legal cultures based on a very specific set of structural elements which can be found in all such cultures. Legal cultures are a product of and impacted by certain fundamental and commonly shared ideas on and expectations of the law. In all modern societies these ideas are to a certain degree institutionalized or at least embedded in institutionalized practices. These practices determine the way lawyers are educated and apply the law, how they engage with the ongoing internationalization of law and what kind of values they adhere to. Looking at these elements separately enables the reader to identify similarities and differences and to explain them contextually. Understanding these general features of legal cultures can help avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations of foreign law and its application. Accordingly, this handbook is a necessary starting point for all kinds of legal comparative studies conducted by academics, students, judges and other legal practitioners.

Depuis les années 1960, le « système » agro-industriel fait naître des empires transnationaux et des baronnies rurales. Il crée des usines et des emplois. Il entraîne la disparition progressive des paysans, l'asservissement de nombreux salariés de l'agroalimentaire, l'altération des écosystèmes et la généralisation de la nourriture en boîte. Il s'impose au nom de la realpolitik économique et de la foi dans une certaine idée du « progrès ». Il prospère grâce à la bienveillance, l'impuissance ou la lâcheté des autorités. Il engendre ses propres mythes, capables de façonner durablement les mentalités. Il enrichit considérablement une minorité, alors que certains se contentent de survivre grâce aux subventions ou doivent s'estimer heureux parce qu'ils ont un travail. Il fait taire des récalcitrants à coups de menaces, de pressions, d'intimidations, de calomnies ou de sabotages. La violence est son corollaire. Le silence, son assurance-vie. Comment le définir ? « Féodalité », répondent les uns. « Esclavage moderne », disent les autres. « Oligarchie » ou « mafia », jurent certains...
