Abstract
Abstract:Legal Relations between Türkiye and Hungary in the 19th and in the 20th Centuries
Comparative law or comparative jurisprudence is a basic method by which people learn about the countries in which they live. Comparative law is a study also of the historical relationship, between legal systems. Comparative law was an efficient means to promote understanding between the Turkish and the Hungarian nations as well as States. Comparative law was - still is - an efficient tool in the evaluation and improvement of the legal system of both countries. By consulting the experience of the Turkish and Hungarian legal systems, the legislative branch of power was exposed to new perspectives and models for consideration in the development of legislation both in Türkiye and Hungary. These ranged during two centuries from common social trends to shared social prob1ems. Comparative law served as a means to promote understanding between the Turkish and the Hungarian nations and developed a framework for legal cooperation between the two States.
