Private International Law Towards Global Governance

Adopting a pioneering 'post-eclectic' paradigm, this book systematically demonstrates that private international law must incorporate 'global common values' into its normative foundation.

Moving beyond abstract theory, the author provides a practical roadmap for addressing 'vertical' normative conflicts in four critical domains: the digital economy, decentralised finance, transboundary ecological supply chains, and cross-border bioethics. Drawing upon recent ground-breaking judicial decisions worldwide and the latest developments in Chinese private international law, the book explores how domestic courts can leverage jurisdiction, choice of law, and judgment enforcement to protect these global common values.

It is an essential resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking institutional solutions to secure a sustainable and just globalised world.
