Abstract: "Current European Private Law is being created and influenced by many scholarly and official projects. One of the most comprehensive and long-standing of these is the Common Core of European Private Law Project, launched in 1993. Within this Project, over 200 professionals have collaborated to create a painstaking comparative analysis of European legal systems. This book is a collection of these views, as presented in papers delivered at sessions of the General Meetings of the Project between 2001 and 2005. Since 2004, the Project and its publications have attempted to use the specific techniques of the factual approach as the main tool for understanding private law and the legal foundations of the new EU members. This perspective created what has been termed the 'Ten New Treasury Boxes - The European Enlargement and the Common Core Project' in which leading scholars from new EU countries addressed both the impact of the integration of EU law into their own legal systems and the challenges that the 'Common Core' method of legal analysis faces. The resulting work is an important part of this volume"--Provided by publisher.
