Wagner on Characterisation in Private International Law

Leonard Maximilian Wagner is the author of Die internationalprivatrechtliche Qualifikation, a monograph on the issue fo characterisation, or qualification, as it arises in the context of conflict-of-laws rules, recently published by Mohr Siebeck in its Studien zum ausländischen und internationalen Privatrecht series.

Since its discovery, the question of how to identify the relevant choice of law rule has been one of the fundamental problems of private international law. Leonard Wagner outlines the historical development of the discourse on the problem of qualification and, building on this, addresses current issues.
