Description
The development of European private law by means of legislative instruments and regulatory mechanisms of the European Union generally occurs on the basis of decisions serving the short-term requirements of political agendas. There has been no overarching concept and this has resulted in a body of rules that is not easy to penetrate. In response to these developments, in 2009 the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law published the Handwörterbuch des Europäischen Privatrechts, which has now been published in English as the Max Planck Encyclopedia of European Private Law. It is not just a translation but an independent volume customised for the different legal backgrounds of an international readership. In line with the encyclopaedic format, key terms are ordered alphabetically and enhanced with cross references. The key terms are also listed in thematic and subject indices and there is a comprehensive bibliography. Due to the complexity of the material, this is not just a mere dictionary. Instead, with systematic key terms and the inclusion of inaccessible specialised literature, this Handbook is intended to create a solid foundation for a subsequent systematic understanding of European private law.
