First published in 1999, this book focuses on the new role of
private law in late modernity. It analyses the pressures for
changes in this area of law due to the present processes of
privatisation and marketisation. The perspective is welfarist: in
what ways and to what extent can the welfare state expectations of
the citizens be defended through private law mechanisms when
state-offered security is diminishing? Which alternatives are
available when developing private law? The questions are discussed
against the background of theories concerning important features of
late modern society, for example consumerism, risk, information,
globalisation and fragmentation. Several fields of private law are
analysed, such as private law theory, tort and liability law,
contract law and credit law as well as access to justice issues.
The approach is comparative, including analyses of both common law
and continental law.
