Regional Private Laws and Codification in Europe

This book considers how the process of 'Europeanization' will affect regions such as Scotland and Catalonia, and compares with similar jurisdictions elsewhere.

The phenomenon of 'regional' private law in the EU is considered here, including such regions as Scotland and Catalonia which have their own legal systems; comparisons are drawn with jurisdictions elsewhere, such as Louisiana and Quebec. This will be of interest to academic lawyers worldwide, advanced law students and European policy-makers.Regions within European Union member states (such as Scotland in the UK and Catalonia in Spain) have their own legal systems: how will the process of 'Europeanization' affect them?

The whole is considered in relation to the development of European private law, and the use of codification in that process. This volume will be of interest to academic lawyers worldwide, advanced law students and European policy-makers.
