Private International Law in Turkey

Emre Esen (Istanbul University) and Melis Avşar (Istanbul University) authored Private International Law in Türkiye with Istanbul University Press.

The authors explain that, while teaching private international law in English to Erasmus students at Istanbul University’s Faculty of Law, they noticed a gap: despite the availability of numerous resources on private international law in Turkish, there is a shortage of English-language reference materials. To address this, they decided to compile this book based on their lecture notes, intended as a textbook for private international law courses taught in English.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part covers jurisdiction in various areas of private international law and international civil procedure. The second part addresses the issue of applicable law, while the third focuses on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.

The book is available in open access, and more information can be found here.
