The constitutionalisation and Europeanisationof private law as key concepts in the contemporary general theory of the state and the studyof constitutional law in the EU from the perspective of Central and Eastern European countrieshe state and the study of constitutional law in the EU. (2025). Contemporary Central & East European Law. https://doi.org/10.37232/

Abstrakt

The author puts forward several hypotheses and verifies them. Three of them are the most important. Firstly, despite the fact that Europeanisation and constitutionalisation are broad concepts that have ramifications in all areas of law, their most significant manifestations nowadays pertain to private law. Secondly, the constitutionalisation and Europeanisation of private law have not only become crucial issues in contemporary civil law theory, but also in the contemporary theory of the state and constitutional law studies. This hypothesis can also be reformulated as follows: civil law, through its constitutionalisation and Europeanisation, has become one of the key issues in the contemporary theory of the state and constitutional law studies. The author notes that perhaps the most characteristic phenomenon within the constitutionalisation and Europeanisation of the law is the horizontal application of principles and values of constitutional rank. Yet horizontal relations are, by definition, the domain of private law. Thirdly, this is the first time in European history that private law has been so programmatically linked to the emergence of a supranational structure – which is what the EU is currently developing into. This last hypothesis contains a certain paradox, because the view has long been held that classic civil law is by definition the law of a free society, which could at least theoretically exist without a state. It is therefore necessary to ask how this entanglement of private law in the process of European integration affects private law, that is, its classic role and functions. Therefore, the author also tries in the last part of the text to assess the constitutionalisation and Europeanisation of private law from the perspectives of the study of private law, the general theory of the state and the study of constitutional law.
