This collection identifies and assesses the place and role of EU private law, beyond the EU marketplace, but within the transnational market. It explores the implications the external reach of European private law is having (or could have) at both a substantive and normative level. Its team of experts do this by relating the external dimension of European regulatory private law to two discussion points: its concrete contribution of different sectors of transnational markets; and its relevance to contemporary legal conceptions of transnational law and ordering. This allows the book to set out the role of European private law in the global political economy.
