Recenzje

"Brand and Herrup offer insightful discussion of many thorny questions in private international law. They make skillful use of comparative law in shedding light on some of the compromises that were reached. They give vivid illustrations of some of the complications of modern multilateral treaty negotiations involving federal states and regional organizations. The book is recommended reading for anyone curious about the complexities of modern multilateral treaty negotiations, and it should be considered as a supplementary text for those teaching courses in comparative law, conflict of laws, or international law."
