Research Methods in Private International Law: A Handbook on Regulation, Research and Teaching

This book provides insights into the different methodological approaches to private international law from both a regulatory approach and from a research and
educational perspective. Established methodologies as well as evolving regulatory
and empirical approaches that shape the future of private international law are discussed. The book is structured in three parts that correspond to three core
debates involving the discipline, although they inevitably overlap: (I) the classification of private international la w as private law and its interaction with international public law and regulation; (II) inter- and multidisciplinary approaches and research methods; and (III) how private international law helps to frame and address the critical debates of our time as well as the role of legal scholarship and education in shaping the future of private international law.
