Abstract

In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as well, one engages in a constant process of negotiation with the self and the Other. In bringing together a significant number of diverse scholars from almost all CEE countries, who managed to genuinely work collectively, the endeavour offers a rich yet concise guide to legal identity from multiple angles. Throughout, it treats law contextually, that is in the only way in which law makes sense epistemically, creating a space where the authority paradigm of positivism is put to rest, and it treats law comparatively, often asserting difference. For Central and Eastern Europeans, to exist is to exist in reference to something else. Unexplored, marginalized, left behind, criticized, discovered, re-discovered, re-appraised, derided, praised, invented, re-constructed, de-constructed – Central and Eastern Europe is anything but an uninteresting place.
