Changing Concepts of Contract is a prestigious collection of essays
that re-examines the remarkable contributions of Ian Macneil to the
study of contract law and contracting behaviour. Ian Macneil, who
taught at Cornell University, the University of Virginia and,
latterly, at Northwestern University, was the principal architect of
relational contract theory, an approach that sought to direct
attention to the context in which contracts are made. In this
collection, nine leading UK contract law scholars re-consider
Macneil's work and examine his theories in light of new social and
technological circumstances. In doing so, they reveal relational
contract theory to be a pertinent and insightful framework for the
study and practice of the subject, one that presents a powerful
challenge to the limits of orthodox contract law scholarship. In
tandem with his academic life, Ian Macneil was also the 46th Chief of
the Clan Macneil. Included in this volume is a Preface by his son Rory
Macneil, the 47th Chief, who reflects on the influences on his
father's thinking of those experiences outside academia. The
collection also includes a Foreword by Stewart Macaulay, Malcolm
Pitman Sharp Hilldale Professor Emeritus at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, and an Introduction by Jay M Feinman, Distinguished
Professor of Law at Rutgers School of Law.
