The institutional framework of European private law

This edited collection of essays examines aspects of European private law. It looks at the conflicts between private laws in various fields, and different approaches to regulating and harmonizing European private law. This book is an original contribution to the scholarly and policy debates about the desirability and modes of Europeanization of private law, in a context in which the pressures of globalization and of national identities seem to question the chosen path of integration.
