Conference: How European is European Private International Law? Berlin, 2 and 3 March 2018 (Please register at www.eu-pil.uni-jena.de)
Over the course of
the last decades the European legislature has adopted a total of 18 Regulations
in the area of private international law (including civil procedure). The
resulting substantial degree of legislative unification has been described as
the first true Europeanisation of private international law and even as a kind
of “European Choice of Law Revolution”. However, until today it is largely
unclear whether the far-reaching unification of the “law on the books” has
turned private international law into a truly European ”law in action”: To what
extent is European private international law actually based on uniform European
rules common to all Member States rather than on state treaties or instruments
of enhanced cooperation? Is the way academics and practitioners analyse and
interpret European private international law really different from previously
existing domestic approaches to private international law? Or is the actual
application and interpretation of European private international law rather
still influenced or even dominated by national legal traditions, leading to a
re-fragmentation of a supposedly uniform body of law?
To answer these and
related questions Prof. Dr. Jürgen Basedow, Prof. Dr. Jan von Hein, Prof. Dr.
Eva-Maria Kieninger and Prof. Dr. Giesela Rühl kindly invite you to the conference
“How European is European Private International Law?” that will take place on 2
and 3 March 2018 in Berlin. Bringing together
academics and practitioners from all over Europe the conference will provide a
platform to shed light on the present lack of „Europeanness“of European private
international law and to discuss how European private internaitonal law can
become more truly European in the future.
