Reihe: Private Law European Context Set

Here is a remarkable collection of essays on the ideologies and power struggles that inform the effort to Europeanize private law. In addition to a manifesto emphasising the role of social and distributive justice, nine articles by prominent European academic jurists offer analytic perspectives that take account of such significant factors as the following:

the politics of the Action Plan process;
the notions of coherence, social values and national tradition;
extension of the European unification debate to property law;
a code for the ordinary working people;
cultural diversity;
the legal basis for a European Civil Code;
the constitutional process and the role of fundamental rights;
a European social model
With its broad scope and depth of insight, this deeply informed and far-seeing collection makes a powerful contribution to the debate. It should not be overlooked by any student, scholar, or practitioner concerned with the nature of private law in Europe.

These essays were originally written as papers presented at a conference held in Amsterdam in January 2005
