Der 20. Internationale Kongreß für Rechtsvergleichung findet im Juli 2018 im japanischen Fukuoka statt. Auch die deutsche Rechtsvergleichungswissenschaft liefert Länderberichte. Der Band bildet dabei das gesamte Spektrum des Rechts durch die von der Internationalen Akademie für Rechtsvergleichung vorgegebenen Einzelthemen ab. Die Themen reichen von Multikulturalität über Fragen der Sprache, die Arzthaftung, die Kontrolle von Preisvereinbarungen, den Schutz der Kommunikation zwischen Verteidiger und Angeklagtem bis hin zu Datenschutz und Klimawandel.
Contributions from members of the German Association for Comparative Law will be among the papers presented at this summer's twentieth International Congress of Comparative Law, to be held for the first time in Asia at Fukuoka, Japan, in July. In a strong range of topics, one focus during the six-day congress will be on questions of multiculturalism and language that concern both comparative law methodology and other legal fields such as family law. Further dealt with will be matters particularly relevant to consumer protection, ranging from choice of court agreements to price control in contracts, duty of information, the regulation of crowd-funding, as well as leisure and travel contracts. Another focus will be on digitalisation's far-reaching economic, societal and legal implications, with questions of data protection in the realm of comparative law accentuated by contributions on the right to be forgotten or current national legal orders. Overall, the volume will reflect the present state of discussions within German jurisprudence.
