This volume contains the written versions of presentations given at
the international conference Convergence and Divergence of Family
Law in Europe, organised in Amsterdam in September 2006. The main
objective of this conference was to instigate an in-depth
discussion regarding various facets of the convergence/divergence
discord. Another objective was to give scholars the opportunity to
present their respective views in the ongoing debate surrounding
convergence, divergence and deliberate harmonisation activities in
the field of family law. In the first part of this book the
historical and theoretical issues of the convergence/divergence
debate and the controversy surrounding the cultural constraints
argument are discussed. The second part gives a picture of the
contemporary role of convergence/divergence tendencies on a
regional level in various parts of Europe. It starts with an
overview of the recent trends in the renowned Nordic co-operation
in the approximation of family laws, which is generally considered
to be the most successful example of regional harmonisation of
family laws in Europe. The next article deals with
convergence/divergence tendencies in the development of the family
law of the Spanish autonomous communities. The following two
contributions offer a summary of the convergence and divergence
trends in Eastern Europe against the background of such sweeping
events as the fall of the Soviet Union, the disintegration of the
Eastern block and the accession of a majority of the Central
European countries to the EU. The third part of this volume deals
with the convergence and divergence tendencies in the following
particular fields of family law: marriage, divorce, same-sex
relationships, establishment of parenthood and matrimonial property
law.
