Comparative Law in Africa: Methodologies and Concepts is the outcome of the Centre for Comparative Laws in Africa inaugural methodology workshop. The book's aim is to contextualise comparative legal studies in the African continent, with the ultimate goal of paving the way for the development of a comparative methodology specifically addressed to Africa. The studies presented in this volume offer different views and perspectives around the main theme of how to methodologically approach comparative legal studies in Africa, and how to properly take into consideration all the different layers composing the African legal systems, in order to give them the proper role and the proper place.

Il volume ripercorre lo sviluppo del diritto fondiario eritreo partendo dalla componente tradizionale sino ad arrivare al diritto fondiario vigente ai giorni nostri. L'analisi svolta non si limita ad un excursus storico sul diritto fondiario eritreo, ma analizza in maniera critica i diversi strati che nel corso del tempo si sono sovrapposti l'uno sull'altro e le modalità attraverso le quali detti strati hanno interagito e continuano ad interagire. Il lavoro cerca quindi di analizzare le ragioni che hanno determinato la situazione attuale di difficoltà applicative della normativa ufficiale e di sopravvivenza (non del tutto) sommersa del diritto tradizionale in un quadro estremamente variegato e complesso. Il tutto anche attraverso l'analisi di casi pratici esemplificativi della situazione giuridica dell'Eritrea di oggi.

Abstract: The complexity of transnational sources is approached in this paper through the analysis of a regional report prepared through national reports of the member countries of the Organisation pour l'harmonisation en Afrique du droit des affaires (OHADA). The report contains the summary of the answers given by national reporters to nine questions prepared with the aim of investigating the difficulties related to the interaction of overlapping laws at a regional level. First, the problem of fragmentation related to both national/international and regional/interregional sources of law and jurisdictions is considered, and the major actors in the detection of the conflict of laws are listed. Then, several responses (both only proposed or already implemented) to cope with the fragmentation issue are presented, according to the differences in each country. In addition, a number of monitoring mechanisms put in place by the executive powers of each country in order to avoid superimposition of laws and regulations at different levels are enumerated. Additionally, the issue of judiciary organization, training, and functioning is addressed in relation to transnational sources and specialized judicial institutions. The emerging strategies used by the judges in order to avoid the complexity due to the overlapping legal rules are studied, but no specific strategies are actually identified. Finally, a tentative evaluation of the efficiency of the national courts in dealing with superimposition of laws is proposed to national reporters. However, the general problem of the lack of information and the scarce accessibility to the jurisprudence emerges and makes the aforementioned evaluation difficult.
