’The book addresses a highly important issue, particularly topical because of the contemporary development of European contract law. It is a much-needed response to the fact that there is so far only limited research and legislation on organizational contracting. The well-known authors analyze the issues in depth, with relevance both for contract theory and practice.’ Thomas Wilhelmsson, University of Helsinki, Finland ’Admirably explored here, the exciting hypothesis of a new organizational paradigm, more easily understood in terms of governance, regulation and networks than in the traditional language of bargains and obligations, this book is both a powerful explanation of recent orientations in European legislation and strikes rich new veins in interdisciplinary theoretical research.’ Horatia Muir Watt, Sciences Po University, France
