"Changing Concepts of Contract" is a prestigious collection of
essays that re-examines the remarkable contributions of Ian Macneil
to the study of contract law and contracting behaviour.
Ian Macneil, who taught at Cornell University, the University of
Virginia and, latterly, at Northwestern University, was the
principal architect of relational contract theory, an approach that
sought to direct attention to the context in which contracts are
made. In this collection, nine leading UK contract law scholars
re-consider Macneil's work and examine his theories in light of new
social and technological circumstances. In doing so, they reveal
relational contract theory to be a pertinent and insightful
framework for the study and practice of the subject, one that
presents a powerful challenge to the limits of orthodox contract
law scholarship.
In tandem with his academic life, Ian Macneil was also the 46th
Chief of the Clan Macneil. Included in this volume is a Preface by
his son Rory Macneil, the 47th Chief, who reflects on the
influences on his father's thinking of those experiences outside
academia.
The collection also includes a Foreword by Stewart Macaulay,
Malcolm Pitman Sharp Hilldale Professor Emeritus at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, and an Introduction by Jay M Feinman,
Distinguished Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law.
