Recently, following work supported by the European Commission, the Outline Edition of the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR) concerning European private law was published. However, the Commission’s project has been seriously challenged, right down to its basic perception—that obstacles and disincentives to cross-border transactions caused by excessive national divergence in contract law must be overcome. In particular, the Social Justice Study Group law founded in 2003 has fore fronted critical perspectives based on normative policy. The group focuses on the ‘democratic deficit’ that characterizes the Commission’s approach to European private law.

This collection of essays reflects both the diversity of the group’s work and the common thread that runs through it. The core claim here is that the DCFR, despite the Commission’s characterization of its proposals as purely technical, cannot escape politics. The intent is to critically identify and evaluate the model of social justice underlying the DCFR. Although each essay stresses the author’s particular political and cultural views on the topic, the demand for an involvement of democratic institutions and civil society in the construction of a European private law is common to all.

All the authors are committed to the development of a European identity over the development of the internal market, and to that extent the book may be controversial. As Community initiatives on European private law continue to multiply, this important book takes a significant step toward understanding the participatory procedures that must be taken to protect the multicultural and multilingual society to which European private law is applied, and to clarify in advance the model of social justice on which to build a European contract law.
