On the Legitimacy of Europeanising Europe’s Private Law

Christian Joerges, European University Institute

A GJ Topics article.

Abstract

Will the Europeanisation process destruct the social achievements of modern private law? Not necessarily so. The project of a European code, however, is unlikely to generate contructive responses to this query. The original German version of this contribution ("Ein europäisches Zivilgesetzbuch als einzige Lösung? Kooperation statt Hierarchie: Legitimationsprobleme und Argumentationsstrategien am Beispiel des Privatrechts")was first published in the "Forum Humanwissenschaften" of the daily newspaper "Frankfurter Rundschau" of Tuesday, 05-11-2002.
