SciencesPo -- Professor Jérôme SGARD - Standard Contracts as Pathways to Global Markets

SEMINAIRE PILAGG Standard Contracts as Pathways to Global Markets - the Experience of the London Corn Trade Association (1880-1914) Professor Jérôme SGARD (Professeur d'économie politique à Sciences Po)   Commodity markets were typically governed during the first global era (ca 1870-1914) by private, London-based “Trade Associations”, managed by a small number of top market insiders. One of their key contribution was to write and constantly adjust a set of Standard Contracts, tailored to each specific commodity and to each country or port of origin. These contracts followed the English contract law and were confirmed and eventually enforced by English courts. But such intervention proved extremely rate, just as, more generally the support from government authorities when dealing with foreign countries or authorities. No concern whatsoever was shown either for rules of international law (private or public). Hence, private ordering on a trade basis and self-enforcement worked pretty well within an overall geopolitical order that was clearly imperialist and hegemonic.   Friday, March 9th 2018 14.00 – 16.30 Law School meeting room (410T), 4th floor Sciences Po, 13 rue de l'Université, 75007 Paris   The program of the seminars is available on the Pilagg website (pilagg/blog/sciences po)     IMPORTANT:  Due to security measures, access to Sciences Po buildings is restricted.

NEW RELEASE!!! P.G. Monateri (Ed.), Comparative Contract Law — E.Elgar [2017]

Comparative Contract Law

Research Handbooks in Comparative Law series 

Edited by Pier Giuseppe Monateri, Professor of Comparative Law, Department of Law, University of Turin, Italy

This comprehensive book offers a thoughtful survey of theories, issues and cases in order to reassess the present vision of contract law. Comparative refers both to the specific kind of methodologies implied and to the polyphonic perspectives collected on the main topics, with the aim of superseding the conventional forms of representation. In this perspective, the work engages a critical search for the fault lines, which crosses traditions of thought and globalized landscapes.

Notwithstanding contract’s enduring presence and the technicalities devoted to managing clauses and interpretation, the inquiry on the proper nature of contract and its status and collocation within private legal taxonomies continues to be a controversial exercise. Moving from a vast array of dissimilar inclinations, which have historically produced heterogeneous maps of law, this book is built around the genealogies of contractual theoretical thinking; the contentious relationship between private governance and normative regulations; the competing styles used to stage contract law; the concurring opinions expressed within the domain of other disciplines, such as literature and political theory; the tensions between global context and local frames; and the movable thresholds between canonical expressions and heterodox constructions.

For its careful analysis and the wide range of references employed, Comparative Contract Law will be a tremendous resource for academics, legal scholars and interdisciplinary experts as well as judges and law practitioners.
