The organizational contract: from exchange to long-term network cooperation in European contract law

This text introduces and develops the paradigm of the organisational contract in European contract law.

Suggesting that a more radical distinction should be made between contracts which regulate single or spot exchanges and contracts that organize complex economic activities without creating a new legal entity, the book argues that this distinction goes beyond that between spot and relational contracts because it focuses on the organisational dimension of contracting and its governance features.
