This book critically examines how comparative law is misused by international organizations, governments, and NGOs to legitimize legal reforms that reinforce inequality, ignore local agency, and serve neoliberal or authoritarian agendas. It exposes the flawed assumptions, such as convergence and legalism, that underpin comparative legal practice.
