MARTINICO, Giuseppe. Comparative legal studies and European integration: Looking at the origins of the debate. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2008, vol.41, n.122, pp.859-883. ISSN 2448-4873.

The goal of this paper is to analyse the influence of the American comparative lawyers' studies on the language of the European integration. As recent research in the legal field has demonstrated, European studies "should pay more attention to the legal discourse that sustains the conceptions of law and legal politics underlying European law" (H. Schepel-R. Wesseling 1997). In the writing of Europe, in fact, a very important role was played by legal scholars, especially by the American ones, who contributed in providing a common vocabulary to the language of the European integration.

Palabras llave : legal scholarship; federalizing process; comparative law; Court of Justice of the European Communities; European Federalist Movement.
