Private International Law in an Era of Globalisation: 'Neutral' Private International Law!? I Could Be Brown, I Could Be Blue, I Could Be Violet Sky

Abstract

In times of (discussions about) globalisation, due attention must be given to the operation of rules of private international law. Examination of the ongoing developments in private international law itself and in private international law in its interaction with other disciplines from the perspective of “protection of weak parties” and “protection of planetary common goods” allows carrying out the analysis to which current developments invite.

This paper is an English, slightly extended version of the paper “Internationaal privaatrecht in tijden van globalisering. “Neutraal” internationaal privaatrecht!?” (written in Dutch, February 2017).
