Author Description

This volume is a collection of the papers presented on a study day `Transfrontier Mobility of Law' held in Erasmus University, Rotterdam, on 23 September 1994. It shows the range of interests that can fit under such an umbrella title. The postscript section of the volume gives an overview of the discussions that took place on that day. Transfrontier mobility of law is a most fruitful field in which researchers will reap great rewards. There is a need, however, for a new analytical framework. Many aspects of the new movements have different features from those of earlier migrations of legal institutions. The papers help the reader to see how the problems associated with the transfrontier mobility of law are universal, how very interesting such movements are and how there is indeed a universal need for a wider analytical framework to assess future developments.
