<i>‘In our increasingly interconnected world, private international law is both growing in importance and evolving quickly. This book is an essential guide to existing law and emerging challenges, giving readers not only a current map but a path forward.’</i>
- Kermit Roosevelt, University of Pennsylvania, USA,
Covering key themes including digitalisation, European civil cooperation, the codification of PIL, and judicial cooperation, the book explores the many forces shaping PIL at a global, regional and domestic level. Authors examine the processes of both harmonisation and fragmentation of PIL, and highlight the continuing importance of territoriality. They focus on areas which have recently undergone transformation, such as family law, the law of succession, blockchain, smart contracts, and property law. Through showcasing the developments that PIL has already undergone and highlighting areas for further advancement, the book provides a well-rounded picture of the relevance and effectiveness of PIL in today’s world.
Private International Law in an Era of Change is an essential resource for academics and practitioners of PIL, including those with an interest in arbitration and dispute resolution, family law and international commercial law.
