Review of the Monograph "Comparative Criminal Law. Functions, Methods and Theoretical Concepts" (Ed. by Kudratov MA, Pechegin DA. 2021. 244 p.)

Collective monograph "Comparative criminal Law. Functions, methods and theoretical concepts" is relevant in the period of globalization for the formation of unified approaches and the development of joint models or programs in the field of "internalization of law", for which comparative studies play an important role. The scientific material  includes works by Hans-Heinrich Jeschke, Albin Ezer, Heike Jung, Walter Perron and Ulrich Sieber. In these works, the special value of creating a system of conceptual apparatus, solving problems of international cooperation on criminal law issues is noted. The possibility of harmonization of national justice in the judicative analysis of foreign legal systems is considered. The means, methods and functions of comparative criminal law and its tasks at national, regional and supranational levels are studied. Attention is paid to the possibility of harmonization and unification of different criminal legal systems, analysis of legal policy, issues of evaluative and competitive comparative studies.

Studying the ideas of foreign authors expands the opportunities for Russian science to learn new approaches and methodology, which has not only theoretical but also practical significance for improving criminal law and creating so-called "international" criminal law, assuming intergovernmental cooperation in this area.
