  • On the basis of the deployment of the idiom of co‐production of knowledge and governance, the article I am commenting upon critically argues for overcoming the reification practices and for the ‘re‐politicisation’ of the European private law field. I note and discuss a dialectical tension between, on the one hand, the explanation based on ‘reification’ as the process of co‐production of knowledge and governance which de‐politicises and, on the other hand, the description of institutional settings themselves as instigating and producing reification—between theory and practice, ideology and discourse.
