Beskrivning
Contract law is increasingly used to serve regulatory purposes considered beyond the reach of private law. This Handbook explores a range of modern practices that are not typically treated in standard expositions of this area. By exploring these phenomena, it reveals the changing role of regulatory private law in a globalised legal world - one where distinctions between public and private law, hard law and soft law, and rule making and contracting have become increasingly blurred. Contributors explore key examples drawing on an extensive range of private law. The book pays close attention to the use of codes of conduct to coordinate and steer behaviour in business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships, concerning health and safety, environment, and employment conditions. It also examines the formation of contractual `networks', such as franchises, to regulate multi-party trade relationships, and the application of contracts and contract law to secure business and consumer compliance with public standards. With its global reach and detailed research, this Handbook will appeal to academics exploring the potential of new law making methods and practitioners looking to gain insight into emerging approaches to private law.Contributors include: A. Beckers, R. Brownsword, R.R. Condon, D. Leczykiewicz, M. Mataija, M.-C. Menting, H.-W. Micklitz, C. Mitchell, M. Namyslowska, E.T.T. Tai, R. van Gestel, P. Verbruggen

'In his seminal work Regulating Contracts, Hugh Collins used an interdisciplinary approach to explore the purposes and effects of legal regulation of contractual relationships. Contract and Regulation takes up the issue from a different perspective. In exploring the three phenomena of ''codes of conduct'', ''networks'', and ''compliance'' the nine chapters of the book analyse the regulatory space in a ''bottom-up'' approach. Thus, the self-governing practices of contractors take centre stage, while the resulting repercussions on regulatory contract law legislation and adjudication are promising.' --Gralf-Peter Calliess, University of Bremen, Germany'This fine collection of essays challenges orthodox contract law thinking by offering evidence of how the boundary between contracting and contract law making is rapidly becoming porous, and by indicating how this must affect our understanding of what contract law is.'--Martijn Hesselink, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
