This book explores the development of law in Europe from its
medieval origins to the present day, charting the transformation
from law rooted in the Church and local community towards a
recognition of the centralised, secular authority of the state.
* Shows how these changes reflect the wider political, economic,
and cultural developments within European history
* Demonstrates the diversity of traditions between European
states and the possibilities and limitations in the search for
common European values and goals
