English translation by Lesley Orme
The "Europeanization" of European private
law has recently received much scrutiny and attention.
Harmonizing European systems of law represents one of
the greatest challenges of the 21st century. In effect,
it is the adaptation of national laws into a new supra-national
law, a process that signifies the beginning of a new
age in Europe. This volume seeks to frame the creation
of a new European Common Law in the context of recent
events in European integration.
Engaged in timely and cutting edge research, the authors
cast into fine relief the building of a European Common
Law. The work is envisioned as a guide and written in
a research friendly style that includes text inserts
and an extensive bibliography. In particular, this book
seeks to orient lawmakers, as well as those individuals
interested in EU law, in the intricacies of consumer
protection, contractual law, timesharing, and other
important aspects in the harmonization of domestic and
EU law books. The detailed analysis and research this
volume accomplishes is invaluable to those scholars
and lawmakers who are the next generation of European
leaders.
