In Volume 72, scholars from the Nordic countries reflect on the politicisation of private international law from their respective national and academic perspectives. Traditionally, private international law has been understood as a neutral and technical field, aimed at managing cross-border relations without taking a position on the substance of competing legal systems. Today, however, this self-image is increasingly being challenged. Migration, digitalisation, global supply chains, climate-related disputes, and renewed geopolitical tensions raise new questions about the role and function of private international law in an increasingly globalised and polarised world.
