Methods of Transnational and International Settlement of Disputes

The globalised world presents a particular challenge throughout the different legal systems, whether domestic, international, or European. Currently, the systems are facing crises, such as the Russian aggression in Ukraine, energy crisis, crisis in environmental protection, along with the phenomena that are directly associated with these crucial problems. Intensification of migration, legal and illegal, and economic exchange, are intrinsic consequences of globalized environment. Thus, national regimes come into inevitable interaction, e.g. in the sphere of family law, property law, contractual law, tort law and liability for damages.
These factors are in and of themselves either disputes or are capable of causing disputes as a side effect. Disputes as such are recognised as negative factors in all areas of law, and law tries to solve, compensate for its negative effects, or enforce the various means of settlement. Given the nature of these factors, it is of great concern of international public, international private, and Union law to provide modes how to deal with disputes in a manner consistent with innate principles that are characteristic of each area of the law.
The goal of this section is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary interaction between public international, private international, and European Union law researchers in the area of dispute resolution and its various instrument and the enforcement of obligations arising from dispute and responsibility issues.
