Abstract
This introduction explains the rationale supporting the book, by emphasizing its material and intellectual origins and by revealing its methodological and theoretical commitments. In doing so, it offers an understanding of legal and constitutional identity as a core element of legal experience. Furthermore, it provides a critical reflection on the way in which the history of Central and Eastern Europe has shaped a particular legal style and culture. By insisting on the situated character of the law in history and culture, the introduction defends a critical understanding of comparison a relation between self and other.
