Abstrakt

The text introduces a series of articles on law and political economy that will be published in this and subsequent issues of Studia Prawa Prywatnego. These studies are the result of the conference „Law and Political Economy - Central and Eastern European Perspectives” held on 21 March 2022 at the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Opening this collection, the text characterizes political economy as a research approach in legal sciences and discusses its renaissance over the past decade in the US and Europe. In this regard, the text focuses on the perspective of private law and market regulation. It also draws attention to the special challenges of political economy from the perspective of Central and Eastern European countries, especially from the vantage point of their post-communist transition and its economic, social and legal spillovers. It also introduces the issues of the following studies published in Private Law Studies.
