European consumer protection: theory and practice Mel Kenny and James Devenney. "This volume analyses the theory and practice of European consumer protection in the context of consolidation initiatives seen, inter alia, in the revision of the Consumer Acquis, the Draft Common Frame of Reference and the proposal for an EU Consumer Rights Directive. The issues addressed are all the more significant given the revisions to the proposed Directive, the appointment of an 'Expert Group on a Common Frame of Reference' and the Commission's 2010 Green Paper on progress towards a European Contract Law. The contributions to this volume point to the arrival of a contested moment in EU consumer protection, questioning the arrival of the 'empowered' consumer and uncovering the fault lines between consumer protection and other goals. What emerges is a model of poly-contextual EU consumer protection law, a model that challenges the assumptions in both the 2010 Green Paper and the revised proposed Consumer Rights Directive"-- UDHR-Cover......Page 1 UDHR-Frontmatter......Page 2 UHDR-Contents......Page 6 UHDR-Preface......Page 38 UHDR-Foreword......Page 44 UHDR-Table of documents......Page 48 UHDR-Abbreviations and acronyms......Page 70 UHDR-Introductory essay: the drafting and significance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights......Page 72 UHDR-Volume I......Page 128 UHDR-Volume II......Page 1204 UHDR-Volume III......Page 2145 UHDR-Table of provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights......Page 3227 UHDR-Subject index......Page 3233 This topical volume provides detailed analyses of European consumer protection law in both its theoretical and practical dimensions.
