Making European Private Law

'This is a remarkably ambitious work of scholarship. What can "Europe" bring to private law, and what can it take away? And how do we shape the institutional design of the governance model(s) that comprise "Europe"? A stellar collection of contributors provides important fresh insights into the evolving and varied patterns according to which private law is generated in Europe.' -- Stephen Weatherill, Somerville College, Oxford, UK
