This book explores the development of law in Europe from its medieval origins to the present day, charting the transformation from law rooted in the Church and local community towards a recognition of the centralised, secular authority of the state.
- Shows how these changes reflect the wider political, economic, and cultural developments within European history
- Demonstrates the diversity of traditions between European states and the possibilities and limitations in the search for common European values and goals
"With that said, it remains a remarkable work written by a master of his craft. It conveys complex ideas effortlessly and picks out interesting themes throughout." (The Edinburgh Law Review, 1 September 2011)
