Deference to the Foreign – Empty Phrase or Guiding Principle of Private International Law?

It has not yet been reported on this blog that a few months ago an interesting collection of essays, under the title Die Achtung des Fremden – Leerformel oder Leitprinzip im Internationalen Privatrecht? (Deference to the Foreign – Empty Phrase or Guiding Principle of Private International Law?), has been published by Mohr Siebeck.

Edited by Florian Heindler and Martina Melcher, the volume contains the papers presented at the 4th Private International Law Conference for Young Scholars in Vienna. The contributions, in German and English, cover a range of topics from family and succession law to the law of obligations, while adddressing matters of principle and methodology.

Authors include Shahar Avraham-Giller, Tabea Bauermeister, Tess Bens, Raphael Dommermuth, Victoria Garin Giménez, Vanessa Grifo, Lena Hornkohl, Selina Mack, Horatia Muir Watt, and Sophia Schwimmer.
