Résumé
The relevance of contracting and self-regulation in consumer markets has
increased rapidly in recent years, in particular in the platform
economy. Online platforms provide opportunities for businesses and
consumers to connect with strangers, often across borders, trading
products, and services. In this new economy, platform operators create,
apply and enforce their own rules in their contractual relationships
with users. This book examines the substance of these rules and the
space for private governance beyond the reach of state regulation.
Vanessa
Mak explores recent developments in lawmaking 'beyond the state' with
case studies focusing on companies such as Airbnb and Amazon. The book
asks how common values and objectives of EU law, such as consumer
protection and contractual fairness, can be safeguarded when lawmaking
shifts to a space outside the reach of state law.
