The articles collected in this volume are consolidated from the Turkish reports submitted to the XIXth International Congress of Comparative Law organized by la Société de Législation Comparée and the International Academy of Comparative Law in Vienna from 20 to 26 July 2014.
La Société de Législation Comparée founded in 1869 and the International Academy of Comparative Law founded in 1924, are the pioneer institutions of the comparative law research. With collaboration, these institutions convene the International Congress of Comparative Law at intervals of four years since its first gathering at The Hague in 1932 in order to provide the scholars from different legal systems an occasion to examine current problems on all major disciplines in both private and public law. Undoubtedly, this prestigious Congress gives a decisive drive to the development of the comparative method.
