Features: The content of private international law, broadly speaking, covers two major areas. One is legal choice, which refers to selecting the applicable law for a certain international dispute; the other is international civil litigation procedures, including the determination of jurisdiction in international civil litigation and the enforcement of foreign court judgments, etc. The content of this book focuses on one aspect of legal choice: how to select the applicable law for international contract disputes. Without a doubt, in today's China, which has joined the WTO and is experiencing increasingly frequent foreign economic exchanges, research on this issue has become increasingly significant in terms of practical importance. The features of this book lie in: First, the author adopts a comparative law approach to provide a relatively detailed introduction and in-depth comparative analysis of the systems and major international conventions in this field in countries such as the UK, the US, and France. Second, it offers a relatively thorough analysis of important new doctrines in this field (such as the US interest analysis approach) and their applications. The research above can not only provide references for strengthening China's legal system but also help us understand how the results of legal application will be when Chinese civil entities are involved in litigation or arbitration that takes place in foreign countries.
