'Globalization has tremendously enhanced the number of cross-border transactions and, thereby, the significance of the conflict of laws. But is the localization method conceived in the 19th century for both jurisdiction and the applicable law still appropriate in the 21st? Can it serve purposes of global governance, give effect to universal values, allow for the implementation of national policies, provide legal certainty? The editors and authors, outstanding scholars in this area, provide thoughtful and interesting answers to these pressing questions.'--Jürgen Basedow, Member of the Institut de Droit International
