This book provides detailed and practical comparative coverage of the use of public policy in the context of private international law across a number of important jurisdictions spanning three continents.As well as explaining the basic theoretical framework of the public policy exception in private international law, the book drills down into the practical application of such rules, giving an overview of these jurisdictions' legal and policy stances on current issues including: punitive damages, surrogacy, same-sex marriage, gender-based discrimination, Islamic law, and adoption to name a few.
