Description

Is Private International Law (PIL) still fit to serve its function in today's global environment? In light of some calls for radical changes to its very foundations, this timely book investigates the ability of PIL to handle contemporary and international problems, and inspires genuine debate on the future of the field. Separated into nine parts, each containing two perspectives on a different issue or challenge, this unique book considers issues such as the certainty vs flexibility of laws, the notion of universal values, the scope of party autonomy, the emerging challenges of extraterritoriality and global governance issues in the context of PIL. Further topics include current developments in forum access, the recognition and enforcement of judgments, foreign law in domestic courts and PIL in international arbitration. This comprehensive work will be of great value to scholars and students working across all areas of PIL. It will also be an important touchstone for practitioners seeking to think creatively about their cases involving conflict of laws and PIL. Contributors include: V.R. Abou-Nigm, G.A. Bermann, A. Bonomi, R.A. Brand, D.P. Fernández Arroyo, F. Ferrari, H.A. Grigera Naón, B. Hess, M. Lehmann, M. Mantovani, R. Michaels, Y. Nishitani, F. Ragno, M. Reimann, K. Roosevelt III, L.J. Silberman, S.C. Symeonides, L.E. Teitz, H. van Loon
