This bookexplores the reactions toEuropeanizationandglobalizationintimes of economic distress, including the transformation of European values in national legal cultures. The authors explore how European values, tradition and new legal challenges interconnect and dictate the paths of transition between old and new Europe.Thefirstchapterstartswithaquestion:canRomanLegalTraditionplaythe roleofanidentityfactorinthetransitiontoanewEurope?Canitbeconsideredasa general value identifying a new Europe, built on a minimum core of principles— persona, dominum, obligation, contract and inheritance—composing the entire Europeanprivatelawtradition?Thefollowingchaptersattempttoprovidepossible responsestothequestion:whatis Europetoday?Theanswersdiverge, depending ontheresearcharea.TheinherentdichotomyofhumanrightsprotectioninEurope and the concept of “one law, one court” are investigated in the second chapter, whilethethirdchapterfocusesonasylumandtherelationshipbetweentheCourtof Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the interdependence between these institutions.
