What international family law is lsquonecessary for the proper functioning of the internal marketrsquo? An indepth analysis of international family law within the European Union from a multidisciplinary approach was needed to tackle this central theme. Articles 61c and 65 of the EC Treaty expressly place civil judicial cooperation in the perspective of the proper functioning of the internal market and thus appear to grant it a distinct lsquoeconomicrsquo flavour. Still the link between civil cooperation and a fortiori family law on the one hand and economic integration on the other hand is not selfevident. A key question today is to what extent and according to what framework the European legislator can and should act in the field of international family law. This book provides clear answers to that crucial question. With contributions of M. Antokolskaia Amsterdam S. Bariatti C. Ricci and L. Tomasi Milan M. Bogdan Lund A. Borraacutes Barcelona J.Y.
