Abstract

Comparative Law is a legal method and, according to some authors, an independent field of knowledge. Its use in Public law is more recent than the one in Private Law, but nonetheless it is vested with the same legitimacy as an instrument useful for various goals: the introduction of new legal solutions to common problems or the interpretation of obscure legal paragraphs, among others. The use of the comparative method differs according to each legal operator and thus the usefulness and goals of it vary depending on the context. Finally, it is of particular interest to study from an epistemological perspective the direct or indirect use of Comparative Law in the framework of the economic and financial crisis, in order to capture the fi nal meaning of the norms and their application, as well as of the public legal theory lying behind.
