Several reasons explain the export of the 1804 Civil Code, among which military force, intellectual attraction and the absence of alternative models. It was carried out in different forms: direct reception from France or indirect reception through an intermediary country. Its object was sometimes the Code itself copied literally, sometimes its spirit, and sometimes the very principle of codification. Given the fate of the Napoleonic Code, one may conclude to the urgency for France to adopt a new Civil Code.
