CUP is publishing a new book on
the history of private international law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
To better appreciate present-day
private international law and its future prospects and challenges, we should
consider the history and historiography of the field. This book offers an
original approach to the study of conflict of laws and legal history that
exposes doctrinal lawyers to historical context, and legal historians to the
intricacies of legal doctrine. The analysis is based on an in-depth examination
of Medieval and Early Modern conflict of laws, focusing on the classic texts of
Bartolus and Huber. Combining theoretical insights, textual analysis and
historical perspectives, the author presents the preclassical conflict of laws
as a rich world of doctrines and policies, theory and practice, context and
continuity. This book challenges preconceptions and serves as an advanced
introduction which illustrates the relevance of history in commanding private
international law, while aspiring to make private international law relevant
for history.
