The thesis analyzes a treatment of dangerous criminals on society with viewpoint of comparative criminal law in Germany and South Korea. In particular, with a focus on "preventive detention" as a "measure of improving and security", at first, basic theory of the Measure of Improving and Security is referred for the analysis of Preventive Detention. At the end of the thesis possible alternatives to Preventive Detention are reviewed. As a result, duality of the criminal law and Measure of Improving and Security will have to be acceptable to the Criminal Code, but the focus of the criminal treatment of dangerous criminals should also be successful treatment and re-socialization, alternatives that do not deprive of freedom emphasized to hold a dominant position.

The volume contains the critical responses from the perspective of other legal systems to the propositions Helmut Koziol puts forward in 2012 in his book “Basic Questions of Tort Law from a Germanic Perspective”. These reports not only describe the legal situation in selected legal systems, but also give a critical response to the propositions developed in respect of the Germanic legal family. Moreover, they consider the possible incorporation or rejection of the said propositions into the legal systems. This study is not only intended to promote mutual understanding between the individual legal systems but also to provide a basis for them to gradually grow together by means of both the internal development of the national legal systems and supranational elaboration of bodies of rules.

"Comparative law and the history of law are traditionally devoted to expanding the context of legal rules and legal institutions. Comparison involves history, as the well-known motto proclaims, but history also involves comparison. Both disciplines are in fact interested in deepening the space-time coordinates of law as a social phenomenon, which means that they take up a critical approach to their object of study. In recent years, this trait is increasingly coming into conflict with the tendency to present law as a mere technocratic instrument for organizing societies. As a result of the »end of history« discourse, the Western economic and political order has become a definitive point of reference worldwide, with law scholars charged with identifying best practices to enhance their efficiency. A group of comparative lawyers and legal historians critically discuss this assumption from a theoretical point of view as well as from the perspective of their respective fields of research. The result is a multifaceted range of ideas on the significance and possible future of two disciplines that share, in addition to their traditional approach, a crisis of identity."

Raymond Saleilles (Gigny-par-Beaune, Borgoña, 1855-París 1912) está considerado como uno de los máximos representantes de la Escuela antiformalista francesa, como uno de los profesores que reaccionaron a finales del siglo XIX contra el Absolutismo jurídico. Al autor se le presenta también como católico implicado en los problemas sociales de la época2, pero sin duda destaca en la literatura científica posterior a 1912 el papel de Saleilles como uno de los creadores del derecho comparado moderno. Pese a que no fue el único comparatista de su época ni tampoco el más prolífico ni el que estableciese un método elaborado de esta disciplina, los comparatistas posteriores a Saleilles le han considerado siempre como precursor de la comparatística en Francia, llegando a calificársele en ocasiones como “padre” del derecho comparado. Si duda esto se debe, al menos en parte, al importante papel de Raymond Saleilles en la organización del primer congreso internacional de derecho comparado, celebrado en París entre el 29 de julio y el 1 de agosto de 1900. Ciertamentehay un antes y un después de 1900 para la mayoría de comparatistas. El libro, en primer lugar, presenta una biografía del jurista que nos acerca a su contexto y a sus motivaciones científicas, políticas y religiosas. A continuación analiza el contexto de la aparición de este modernismo jurídico para desgranar después los diferentes elementos del método y objeto del derecho comparado saleilliano, ambos elaborados de manera vaga e imprecisa por el propio Saleilles. La última parte se dedico al análisis de la aplicación de esta doctrina a los diferentes temas que abordó el jurista francés.

This volume aims to investigate, with an interdisciplinary approach, how legal property regimes, land law and land registration systems are intertwined with economic, social, and political spheres; to analyse the social functions and legal and political implications of various land registration systems in different contexts and how, for example, they operated in a colonial framework; to scrutinise the relations between politics and property, as well as the transformation of the property concept, in its meaning and function.
