The goals of the course are to provide students with a critical understanding of the intellectual relationship between space and narrative in the framework of comparative analysis. The main issue is to problematize objectives and methods of comparative law with the aim to discover its strategic and subversive potentialities. The different classifications of the worldwide nomos into different families or systems - as one of the historical products of the macro-comparatistic discipline - will be re-investigated as the result of a decisionist act, supported by political and even economical arguments. On this ground the course will emphasize the subtle nexus between comparative law and geopolitics. In this persective the main issues discussed will be the following : introduction to the study of the key ideas in geopolitics ; models of geopolitical reflection (imperialist geopolitics ; classical geopolitics ; new world order geopolitics) ; the changing nature of contemporary geopolitics (critical geopolitics) ; the styles of thinking geopolitics and the styles of comparative law discourses ; the relationship between geo-economics and comparative 'law and economics' or 'law and finance'
