This incisive Research Handbook provides valuable insights into the various methodological approaches to Private International Law (PIL) from regulatory and educational perspectives. It comprehensively unpacks central themes in the field including international jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement, and scrupulously analyses core debates whilst addressing legislative and policy issues.



Featuring contributions from carefully selected eminent scholars, the Research Handbook is structured in three thematic sections. The first section explores the divide between public and private approaches to PIL regulation and research, covering human rights perspectives and key private initiatives in regulation. Moving on to address classical and modern research methodologies in PIL, the second section examines comparative law, empirical, economic and technical approaches and considers the influence of technology. The final section concludes with a discussion of crucial societal and educational aspects of PIL.



Research Methods in Private International Law will prove an essential reference for academics, researchers, and students of law with a particular interest in PIL, human rights law and research methods in law. Its practical focus on methodology will also be of benefit to policymakers and legal practitioners in the PIL field.

Industry Reviews
'Private international law as a discipline is breaking out of the musty cellars to which it (unjustifiably) is traditionally confined. This excellently edited volume excels in critical thinking about the nature, direction and purpose of part of the law which increasingly plays a crucial role in core societal challenges. Its engagement with a wide variety of methodological approaches is as enriching as it is exciting.' -- Geert van Calster, KU Leuven, Belgium
'This book features a changing physiognomy of private international law, which transcends the conventional public-private divide and state-centered methods. The authors consider regulatory functions, interdisciplinarity, and legal education of private international law in view of global governance. A highly recommended read on contemporary challenges and paradigm shifts in private international law.' -- Yuko Nishitani, Kyoto University, Japan
'Private international law increasingly plays a crucial role as a navigational tool for mobile actors in a complex legal world. The rich variety of essays brought together in this book offer [scholars, students as well as practitioners] a great help in understanding how its methodologies have evolved, how it interacts with other disciplines, what discourses underpin it and how its transformative role can be enhanced, not least through legal education.' -- Hans van Loon, Former Secretary General of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (1996-2013), the Netherlands
'This book offers readers an amphitheater seat from which they can view private international law from multiple fresh angles, and observe it being dissected with expert surgical precision. Reading it will prove enormously enriching and rewarding, for both the novice and the expert. I strongly recommend it.' -- Symeon C. Symeonides, Willamette University College of Law, US
