In Rethinking EU Consumer Law, the authors analyse the development of EU consumer law on the basis of a number of clear themes, which are then traced through specific areas. Recurring themes include the artificiality of the EU's consumer image, the problems created by the drive towards maximum harmonisation, and the unexpected effects EU Consumer Law has had on national law. The book argues that EU Consumer Law has the potential of enhancing the protecting of consumers throughout the EU and could offer a model for consumer law elsewhere in the world, but in order to unlock this potential, there needs to be a rethink with regard to the EU's approach to consumer law and policy.

Industry Reviews

'Rethinking EU Consumer Law offers a fresh and authoritative critical perspective on this important (and very active) area of law by leading academics in this field. It is recommended to anyone interested in the key issues of EU consumer law and policy, its practical application and its theoretical underpinnings.'

Paula Giliker, University of Bristol, UK

'Howells, Twigg-Flesner and Wilhelmsson show why EU consumer law should focus less on maximum harmonisation, why a high level of consumer protection enhances EU businesses' international competitiveness, and why the 'average consumer' benchmark should take the lessons of behavioural economics to heart. A must-read for consumer and business lawyers alike!'

Marco B.M. Loos, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands

'A must-read that provides a clear presentation of EU consumer law - understanding full harmonisation becomes intuitive when reading the chapter on unfair commercial practices, and explains why it often has not met consumers and businesses' expectations and how it could. A book every consumer law scholar would have liked to write.'

Elise Poillot, Consumer Law Clinic, University of Luxembourg
