This introductory chapter sets out the book’s purpose and outlines the
contributions which compose it. It connects the constitutionalisation of Contract law
theme to questions of legal culture, thereby showing why this increasingly relevant
topic in the theory and practice of Contract law ought to be approached contextually.
In so doing, it further links this book’s content to the first volume of this two-book
set: The Constitutional Dimension of Contract Law. A Comparative Perspective
(published by Springer in 2017).
