Discusses a phenomenon known as a revolution in Private International Law (PIL) or the law of conflict of laws in the United States. This book chronicles this revolution, and explores the question of what is, or should be, the other phase in the development of American conflicts law.
This book is an updated and expanded version of the General Course delivered by the author at the Hague Academy of International Law in 2002. The book chronicles and evaluates the intellectual movement known as “the revolution” in American private international law. This movement began in the 1960s, caught fire in the ‘70s, spread in the ‘80s and declared victory in the ‘90s, leading to the abandonment of the centuries-old choice-of-law system, at least for torts and contracts.

Symeon C. Symeonides is the drafter of three private international law codifications, and the author of six books and over sixty articles on the same subject, including the most widely read annual surveys of American choice-of-law cases.
