This book provides an overview of the developments in family law in Europe during the last two millennia. It aims to examine the so-called 'cultural constraints argument', which suggests that family law is unsuitable for harmonisation because the family laws of the European countries are deeply imbedded in their unique national cultures and history.
This book brings together a number of essays on the contribution that the so-called mixed legal systems can make to the emergence of a European private law.
