Future of European Private Law

André Janssen, Matthias Lehmann, Reiner Schulze

<b>This book provides a critical assessment of European private law, to suggest how it might develop in the future.</b> It reflects on how its recent expansive period, heralding an ambitious future including a European Civil Code, came to an abrupt end. It suggests that development can still happen, albeit in a fragmented way and on a smaller scale. This is an insightful and ultimately hopeful analysis of what might lie ahead.
