Varieties of European Economic Law and Regulation: Liber Amicorum for Hans Micklitz (Studies in European Economic Law and Regulation Book 3)

"This is the first book to comprehensively analyze the work of Hans Micklitz, one of the leading scholars in the field of EU economic law. It brings together analysts, academic friends and critics of Hans Micklitz and results in a unique collection of essays that evaluate his work on European Economic Law and Regulation. The contributions discuss a wide range of Micklitz' work: from his theoretical work on private law beyond party autonomy, with a special focus on its regulatory function, to the illustration of how his work has built the basis for current solutions such as used in solving the financial crisis. The book is divided into sections covering foundations of private law, regulatory law, competition and intellectual property law, product safety law, consumer contract law and the enforcement of law. This book clearly shows the enormous impact of Hans Micklitz' work on the EU legal system in both scholarship and practice."--Page 4 of cover Front Matter....Pages i-xvii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Three Views on Negotiation—An Essay Between Disciplines....Pages 3-30 Post-private Law?....Pages 31-41 Non-State Law in the Hague Principles on Choice of Law in International Commercial Contracts....Pages 43-69 Optional Regulation of Standard Contract Terms....Pages 71-92 Law or Economics—Some Thoughts on Transnational Private Law....Pages 93-104 A ‘Competitive Contract Law’?....Pages 105-121 The Horizontal Effect of Fundamental Rights in Private Law—On Actors, Vectors, and Factors of Influence....Pages 123-151 European Regulatory Private Law: From Conflicts to Platforms....Pages 153-177 On Law and Sorrow....Pages 179-183 Free Movement of Legal Sources: The Use of Foreign Sources in Private Law in Europe....Pages 185-204 Front Matter....Pages 205-205 New Economic Governance in the European Union: Another Constitutional Battleground?....Pages 207-234 Regulatory Coherence—A European Challenge....Pages 235-258 Does Private Regulation Foster European Legal Integration?....Pages 259-283 European Unity in Diversity?!
