Contracts - European Union -- Comparative law

Constitutional values have, however, found their way to the EC level and the national discussions have inspired a European one, with three core values discussed: fundamental freedoms, fundamental rights and constitutional system building principles such as the social welfare state or the rule of law. Their impact on private law can be sensed nowadays quite considerably also on the European level . These fundamental values are often seen as the ingredient which renders European Private Law, namely European Contract Law, more responsive to social values or more "human". For all these reasons, the book combines comparative law, EC law and interdisciplinary approaches to the question "Constitutional Values and European Contract Law".
