EU and National Contract Law: Separation, Substitution or Complementarity?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter reconceives the relationship between EU and national private law within a new theoretical framework, focusing on two major issues in the context of contract law. First, it aims to explore how national contract law today responds and should respond to EU contract law, taking into account the conflicting values at stake in the harmonisation process. Second, the chapter seeks to unveil how different institutional factors at play in respect of EU contract law-making, such as the legal basis for legislative action, path dependency, and the political constraints, shape the relationship between EU and national contract law.
