The continuing headlong increase in cross-border legal issues of
all kinds raises a host of new issues for private law even as it
reconfigures the old issues, both in theory and in practice. In an
effort to identify trends and consolidate what we've learned in
this important area, outstanding legal scholars from nine European
countries (plus Australia) convened at the University of Helsinki
in August 2006. This volume reproduces, in definitive English
texts, twenty-two of the papers presented at that conference.
The issues addressed cluster around four basic questions:
- To what extent does the multiculturalism of the European Union
hamper the development of common private law rules?
- Which rules that are specific for a particular
state/region/culture need to be preserved?
- To what extent can localism be met with variations in the
application of common provisions?
- What problems for the common rules are posed by the fact that
they are to be implemented in a multilingual society?
While overarching concerns such as social justice, harmonization,
culture, and diversity pervade all the essays, such crucial
practical considerations as legal translation and regulation of
advertising are not neglected.
