Opis

This book examines interactions and discusses intersectionality between public international law and private international law. With contributions from scholars from USA, Canada, Australia, India and EU, this book brings out truly international perspectives on the topic.

The ultimate aim of this book is to analyse whether these two legal disciplines become convergent or they are still divergent as usual.
