Over the past decade, Private International Law has continued to evolve. Intensified globalization, deepening regional integration, rapid technological change, and pressing global challenges have fundamentally reshaped the discipline. Legislative activity has expanded further at national, international, and - most prominently - European levels, while new challenges test the traditional boundaries of the field.

This second edition of the Encyclopedia of Private International Law responds to these developments. It offers a complete update of the first edition, bringing a wide range of new contributions that address emerging and future-oriented issues, including digitalization, artificial intelligence, supply chains, sustainability, and climate change. The second edition also features additional national reports, providing broader representation of legal systems from the Global South.

Once again assembling a diverse group of leading international scholars and practitioners, the Encyclopedia of Private International Law remains unparalleled in its breadth and depth. Across four volumes, it presents analytically rich substantive entries, detailed national reports, and an extensive collection of codifications and legislative materials in English translation. This second edition is an indispensable reference work for academics, practitioners, judges, and policymakers seeking authoritative insight into Private International Law in an increasingly interconnected world.
