{"product_id":"fundamental-rights-and-private-law-nuno-ferreira-9780415859295","title":"Fundamental Rights and Private Law in Europe: The case of tort law and children","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book explores, from a comparative and inter-disciplinary perspective, the relationship between fundamental rights and private law in Europe, a debate usually referred to as \u003cem\u003eDrittwirkung\u003c\/em\u003e or 'horizontal effect of fundamental rights'. It discusses the different models of \u003cem\u003e'horizontal effect'\u003c\/em\u003e and the impact that fundamental rights may have in shaping tort law, especially the position of child tortfeasors. The book concentrates on several European jurisdictions, namely France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, and England and Wales. At a crossroad between human rights and European private law, this study draws insights from several legal fields (international, European, tort, constitutional and child law), sociology, psychology, and feminist studies. It also considers policy implications and advances proposals which would ensure the optimisation of the effect, and maximisation of the effectiveness, of fundamental rights in tort law, and more generally in private law. This book departs from traditional legal doctrines and offers a more pragmatic, comprehensive and just legal analysis of the role of fundamental rights in private law. It will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, practitioners, policy-makers and activists with an interest in human rights, tort law, comparative law, children's rights and European private law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nuno Ferreira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415859298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415859295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.64d","brand":"Nuno Ferreira","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927743811839,"sku":"9780415859295","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8447fe2c-9136-4e08-ae71-17acfbf5cc5f.jpg?v=1749372827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fundamental-rights-and-private-law-nuno-ferreira-9780415859295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
