(Text)
On January 1, 2007, the new Japanese 'Act on General Rules for Application of Laws' entered into force replacing the statute of 1898. This major reform finds its parallels in the current efforts of the European Union to create a modern private international law regime for its member states.This volume presents the first comprehensive analysis of the new Japanese private international law available in any western language and contrasts it with the corresponding European developments.For better understanding, English translations of the Japanese statutes have been added.
