The book provides a broad and topical perspective of the sources of
modern contract law. It examines the creation of contract law as a
multi-pronged occurrence that involves diverse types of normative
content and various actors. The book encompasses both a classical
perspective on contract law as a state-created edifice and also
delves into the setting of contractual rules by non-state actors.
In so doing, the volume thoroughly analyses present-day
developments to make sense of shifting attitudes towards the
overall regulatory paradigm of contract law and those that reshape
the classic view of the sources of contract law. The latter
concerns, in particular, the digitalisation of markets and growing
trends towards granularisation and personalisation of rules. The
book builds on the EU private law perspective as its primary point
of reference. At the same time, its reach goes far beyond this
domain to include in-depth analysis from the vantage points of
general contract theory and comparative analysis. In so doing, it
pays particular attention to theoretical foundations of sources of
contract law and values that underpin them. By adopting such
diversified perspectives, the book attempts to provide for a better
understanding of the nature and functions of present-day contract
law by capturing the multitude of social and economic dynamics that
shape its normative landscape. The volume gathers a unique and
distinguished group of contributors from the EU, USA and Israel.
They bring research experience from various areas of private law
and contribute with diverse conceptual perspectives.
