More Constitutional Dimensions of Contract Law : A Comparative Perspective

This second volume on the constitutional dimension of contract law explores this increasingly relevant subject in jurisdictions that are usually overlooked by mainstream scholarship in the English-speaking world. With chapters on Finland and other Nordic Countries from a comparative perspective, Spain, Japan, Somalia, Nigeria, Brazil, and Peru, the contributions presented here offer much-needed, context-informed insights on whether - and if so, why, how and to what extent - the development of contract law is being influenced by constitutional values and fundamental rights issues (or vice-versa). 

The book represents a valuable addition to comparative law literature on the interplay between public (i.e., constitutional) and private (i.e., contract) law by revealing the inner dynamics through which these two branches interact and (at times) inform each other, whilst also enhancing our understanding of the law''s nature, function, and transformative potential at the macro, meso, and micro levels.
