Civilologie | Civilology

In the CIVILOLOGY | CIVILOLOGIE series, the focus is on how private law works in real life. Rather than analysing private law from a strictly legal doctrinal perspective, this series encompasses the combined use of insights from social sciences – ranging from economics to psychology and sociology – in order to analyze the behavioural assumptions underlying private law, to understand the effects it has on individuals, organisations and businesses and to appreciate the impact of both assumptions and effects on policymakers, legislatures and courts. The CIVILOLOGY | CIVILOLOGIE series is edited by Willem van Boom (Erasmus Law School) and Ivo Giesen (Utrecht School of Law).
