ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The International Institute for the Sociology of Law in Oñati has enabled
this group of scholars who share an interest in family law and family poli-
cy, but come from a variety of academic disciplines and countries, to meet,
to argue and to develop their ideas over almost a decade. We are grateful
for this opportunity and proud to present our third volume of essays. This
follows on from our first volume, Family Law and Family Policy in the
New Europe, published in 1997, which looked at the development of fam-
ily law in a period of rapid transition in Eastern Europe when norms and
values were re-examined and a great deal of legislative activity was taking
place. This led us in our second volume, Making Law for Families, pub-
lished in 2000, to look closely at the law-making process, with which some
of us had become closely involved. Looking at this process and at the strug-
gle of law reformers to respond to changing family forms has brought us
full circle to look again at the purposes and values underlying family law,
and at the relationship between ‘Family Law and Family Values’.
We are particularly grateful to Malen Gordoa for her impeccable organ-
isation of the meeting and to Jenny Dix for her editing skills.
