European challenges to private law: on false dichotomies, true conflicts and the need for a constitutional perspective

This paper advances and defends a ‘constitutionalist’ perspective on the Europeanisation of private law. The first introductory section places the Europeanisation of private law in relation to current debates and then proceeds, in section II, to its practical implications with the help of identifying a significant cluster of conflict. The main part of this paper, however, is concerned with the theoretical issues of the analytical background and normative basis of the constitutionalist perspective.
