Overall, Tobias Lutzi's book successfully combines complex theoretical analysis with concrete propositions in a multifaceted and developing area of the law. It exemplifies the contribution of private international law in addressing the challenges arising in information services: in doing so, it illustrates how policies and political aims may be promoted via private international law. As such, his book is an essential and highly recommended reading for academics,
regulators, and practitioners.
Tobias Lutzi is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Private International and Comparative Law at the University of Cologne. In December 2019 he won the 2019 ICC Institute Prize for his thesis, titled "Regulating the Internet through Private International Law".
