Ideology and Private Law: Polish Experiences in the Long 20th Century
Series: - Legal History Library, Volume: 74
This book highlights the ideological aspects influencing the modern shape of private law in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), examining Poland as a representative example given the shared historical trajectory of the 20th century across this region. In the historico-legal literature currently in international circulation, there is a dearth of studies on the development of modern positive law in CEE countries. This volume therefore aims to bridge this gap and deliver a more profound reflection on the long-term social, economic, and political role of private law in this region.
