Convergence and Divergence in Private International Law - Liber Amicorum Kurt Siehr

This Liber Amicorum was written by prominent colleagues and friends of Professor Kurt Siehr in honour of his 75th birthday. The collection honours and celebrates his academic work and his accomplishments as a teacher. Contributions cover the fields of private international law law-making, family relations and succession, contractual and non-contractual obligations, international litigation and arbitration, and cultural propery. Without a doubt this Liber is not only a fine tribute to Kurt Siehr, but also a welcome addition to every private international law library.
