Abstract

This essay addresses a series of (cultural and practical) caveats related to the legal changes pursued by Westerners outside the Western world. It also sketches out the overall cultural premises and attitudes underpinning these Western initiatives, and offers some empirical evidence of the above mentioned Western cultural posture and of the need to keep in mind the above caveats. Conclusions emphasize the role of comparative law technology as an indispensable tool to make sense of any phenomena seeking to, or actually producing legal change.
