Description

This book is the leading reference on Indonesian private international law in English. The chapters systematically cover the whole of Indonesian private international law including commercial matters, family law, succession, cross-border insolvency, intellectual property, competition (antitrust), and environmental disputes. The chapters do not merely cover the traditional conflict of law areas of jurisdiction, applicable law (choice of law), and enforcement. The chapters also look into conflict of law questions arising in arbitration and assess Indonesian involvement in the harmonisation of private international law globally and regionally within ASEAN. Similarly to the other volumes in the Studies in Private International Law - Asia series, this book presents the Indonesian conflict of laws through a combination of common and civil law analytical techniques and perspectives, providing readers worldwide with a more profound and comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Reviews

This is a thorough and carefully structured account of the agglomeration of court decisions, scholarly writing and scanty regulation that constitutes private international law in Indonesia. No scholar working in the area in future will be able to avoid reference to this book, which is the first major English language work on Indonesian private international law. It contributes to, and clearly surpasses, the limited English-language scholarly literature on aspects of private international law in Indonesia. -- Simon Butt and Tim Lindsey * Australian Journal of Asian Law *
