‘The coming out of a second edition of this book is particularly welcome. The reality of nowadays’ world, indeed, makes the adoption of a transnational perspective in the study of private international law particularly deserving, making it rather short-sighted to persist in a purely national or regional attitude in addressing the subject. A further distinguishing feature of this textbook lies in its methodological approach, based on a direct confrontation with cases, arising from the practice of various jurisdictions. This second edition introduces important updates, with a fresh discussion of new cases and more recently adopted legislation, particularly from the EU side, keeping up with the unceasing development of the subject.’
