Law and the Formation of Modern Europe: Perspectives from the Historical Sociology of Law

Edited by: Mikael Rask Madsen, Chris Thornhill

ISBN13: 9781107044050
Published: July 2014
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Country of Publication: UK
Format: Hardback
Price: Out of print



Law and the Formation of Modern Europe explores processes of legal construction in both the national and supranational domains, and it provides an overview of the modern European legal order.

In its supranational focus, it examines the sociological pressures which have given rise to European public law, the national origins of key transnational legal institutions and the elite motivations driving the formation of European law.

In its national focus, it addresses legal questions and problems which have assumed importance in parallel fashion in different national societies, and which have shaped European law more indirectly. Examples of this are the post-1914 transformation of classical private law, the rise of corporatism, the legal response to the post-1945 legacy of authoritarianism, the emergence of human rights law and the growth of judicial review.

This two-level sociological approach to European law results in unique insights into the dynamics of national and supranational legal formation.
