Our rapidly developing global society makes private  international law a field of increasing importance. Although some  harmonization of rules has taken place, the necessary follow-up  -- rapid implementation and a uniform application of the rules  -- has been lacking. Moreover, harmonization has occurred in  only a limited number of areas. For the most part, separate legal  systems remain each with its own individual solutions, as a result of  which conflicts of law exist in many areas. International procedural  law issues also play an important role in this context.   Published by Kluwer Law International in cooperation with the Swiss  Institute of Comparative Law, this new, English-language publication  provides analysis and information on private international law  developments worldwide. The editors commission articles of enduring  importance concerning the most significant trends in this field. The  Yearbook also devotes attention to the important work and  research carried out in the context of the Hague Conference, The Hague  Academy, UNCITRAL, and UNIDROIT.   The authority of its editors and the lasting nature of the works  included make the Yearbook an integral addition to the libraries  of international law scholars and practitioners. The editors are  supported by an international advisory board currently under  formation.
