Critical Acclaim
‘This book takes a notoriously diffuse topic and condenses it into a manageable and very readable text. It does so not by ignoring the complexity of conflict of laws or by avoiding the variety of laws at play in internet-based disputes. Instead, it offers readers coherent guidance by linking comprehensive analysis of doctrine with a solid theoretical foundation.’
– Graeme B. Dinwoodie, Chicago-Kent College of Law, US
‘This valuable book explores and explains the Internet from a private international law and international litigation perspective. It addresses the legal foundations, digital services, data and privacy protection, IP rights and transactions and services related to data transfers. This book takes up the latest development in the field and provides invaluable guidance for the upcoming years. Pedro de Miguel Asensio addresses all aspects of cross-border data flows. I heartily recommend this valuable treatise.’
– Burkhard Hess, University of Vienna, Austria
Acclaim for the first edition:
‘...a comprehensive book on the Conflict of Laws and the Internet which touches upon all fields of IP and related areas of law, including data protection and, of course, contracts. The result is astonishing and every scholar interested in this field will find this a worthwhile read.
– Moritz Sutterer, GRUR International: Journal of European and International IP Law
‘This is an indispensable book for practitioners and scholars in this area of European Union Law. . . Conflict of Laws and the Internet will not only allow the reader to obtain a clear understanding of private international law issues of digital business, but also to understand how this field of law is mutating to fulfil its traditional aims''.
– Aurelio Lopez-Tarruella, EU Law Live
‘This book exudes the best of (continental) European tradition. Evidently, De Miguel Asensio is aspiring at comprehensiveness. Given the multi-faceted nature of the general topic, this is a Heraklean task. It requires a delicate balance between structure and detail, between breadth and depth. Can there be a better praise than to conclude that this aim has been fully accomplished in this magisterial book?’
– Peter Mankowski, Zeitschrift für das Privatrecht der Europäischen Union
‘This book is an excellent read for anyone interested in the private international law issues implicated by online activities, both those concerning intellectual property rights and other legal regulations. It provides a rigorous analysis of conflicts of law issues concerning the internet, with particular attention to EU law.’
