Summary
While public international law and private international law are taught in most law schools as distinct subjects, in reality, they originated from the same root. Even as of today, any clear distinction between them is unreal and in many instances they overlap. In this chapter, a common historical root is briefly sketched and then some areas of intersectionality as contributions in this book are about to explore will be briefly outlined and highlighted.
