'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
