The unification of Private International Law is a goal to which all the contributors to this impressive volume have committed themselves, and one which seems increasingly to attract the attention of legal practitioners, researchers, writers and legislators. The essays give a unique overview of the current state of the law with respect to those areas which have been unified, or which are susceptible to unification. Insights are given into national as well as international practice, and theoretical aspects have not been neglected.

This book is published by the International Academy of Comparative Law to honor five great comparatists: Jean-Louis Baudouin from Canada, Xavier Blanc-Jouvan from France, Mary Ann Glendon from the United States of America, Hein Kötz from Germany, and Rodolfo Sacco from Italy. The five great minds present their thoughts on the past, the present and future of comparative law and in doing so they particularly focus on the future of the International Academy of Comparative Law, comparative law methodology and the teaching of comparative law. The book is essential reading for researchers and academics wanting to know what these respected legal scholars have contributed to comparative law, how they differ and when and why they excelled. Moreover, the views presented suggest how the role of the Academy can be developed in order to deal with the current challenges of comparative law. Ce livre est publié par l'Académie internationale de droit comparé en l'honneur de cinq grands comparatistes : Jean-Louis Baudouin du Canada, Xavier Blanc-Jouvan de France, Mary Ann Glendon des États-Unis, Hein Kötz d'Allemagne et Rodolfo Sacco d'Italie. Ces cinq grands esprits offrent leurs réflexions sur le passé, le présent et le futur du droit comparé et, ce faisant, se concentrent particulièrement sur l'avenir de l'Académie internationale de droit comparé, la méthodologie ainsi que l'enseignement du droit comparé. Ce livre est une lecture essentielle pour les chercheurs et les universitaires qui s’intéressent aux contributions au droit comparé de ces juristes respectés, la manière dont ils diffèrent et quand et pourquoi ils ont excellé. De plus, les points de vue présentés suggèrent comment le rôle de l'Académie peut être développé pour faire face aux défis actuels du droit comparé.

The Association Henri Capitant des Amis de la Culture Juridique Française and the Société de législation comparée joined the academic network on European Contract Law in 2005 to work on the elaboration of a "common terminology" and on "guiding principles" as well as to propose a revised version of the Principles of European Contract Law (PECL). The results of this work were sent to the European Commission and have already been published in French. The English translation is now being published by sellier.elp. This work could contribute to the wider European project. The part on the guiding principles could be a component of the CFR, in the form of "black letter" model rules or recitals. The part on terminology is, in itself, useful for the elaboration of the final various linguistic versions of the CFR. It finds its place within the materials which will accompany the model rules. Last but by no means least, the revised version of the PECL should be considered by the European institutions as an alternative set of model rules on contract law.
