Swedish Perspectives on Private Law Europeanisation

Viac o knihe

As part of the European integration, an ambitious program of harmonization of European private law is taking place. This new edition in the series aims to create a modern codification in the tradition of the great continental codifications such as the BGB and the Code Civil. A significant step towards this development was taken in 2009 with the creation of the Draft Common Frame of Reference which contains model rules for a large part of central private law. The process raises a number of questions. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such an intensive process of harmonization? Are there lessons to be learnt from the Europeanisation of private law through history? These crucial questions and more were discussed at a conference in Stockholm, sponsored by the Swedish Network of European Legal Studies. This important volume includes the answers offered by leading scholars in the field.
