Abstract
This Coda, the tail piece, is added to round off the work. It is added to emphasize how shifting horizons of comparative law in the twenty-first century reveal ways of appreciating diversity as well as aiding convergence. Shifting horizons also indicate that euphony and harmony can be achieved through both ‘integrative’ comparative law studies and ‘contrastive’ comparative law studies; and that harmony can indeed be found in diversity. As long as communication and conversation are continued through comparative legal endeavour, there will be cross-fertilization and horizontal transfers, and this can only enhance study and research in comparative law and our deeper understanding of laws. Our age is one of communication and conversation, and we should have harmony not just here and there, but everywhere.
