Acknowledgements
This edited volume builds on a workshop held online on 1–2 July 2021. We are grateful for all the participants in the workshop as well as all authors who joined the project at a later stage for bringing this publication into life and contributing with invaluable insights. We would also like to thank Clare McGlynn for bridging this edited volume with the landmark publication in the field of EU family law – Families and the European Union: Law, Politics and Pluralism – which she published with Cambridge University Press in 2006; Xavier Groussot who was one of the initiators of the project; and the Rune and Lena Lavins Stiftelse for funding assistance. We are greatly indebted to Tom Randall, Marianne Nield, and Sharon McCann at Cambridge University Press for their support throughout the publishing process; to Kate McIntosh for compiling the index; and to the copy-editors for preparing the final manuscript.
