Reviews

'Does European regulatory private law offer a genuine model of justice for society? Beyond its initial libertarian focus on economic integration through the market citizen, might it now serve the social inclusion of the vulnerable? In the wake of Hans Micklitz's inspired and relentless pursuit of meaning within the ongoing constitutionalization of private law relationships, this rich collection explores the implications of new, specifically European, forms of access rights, which ensure (horizontally and vertically) enforceable and non-discriminatory opportunity for market participation.' - Horatia Muir Watt, Columbia Law School, US

'The Many Concepts of Social Justice in European Private Law may be appreciated not only for placing the understanding of national and European concepts and conceptions of social justice in their historical, socio-economic, and cultural contexts. It also, and maybe just as importantly, invites the reader to reflect on his or her own concept(s) and conceptions of justice for European private law.' -- Chantal Mak, Yearbook of European Law 'Does European regulatory private law offer a genuine model of justice for society?
