| Research Abstract |
This research was originally, based on the basic theme "Globalization and Law" as the group leader's main interest since 10 years, focusing on cultural diversity, especially, on one hand, traditional knowledge and its protection through intellectual property, on the other hand international litigation as a tool. Inevitably private international law and international civil procedure should be objectives of analysis. For this analysis, the group decided to apply the methodology developed by Law and Economic theories. We found various interesting issues to be analyzed. Especially urgent is the analysis of economic analysis of private international law, since we found out that this topic is very underdeveloped and already published research results are concentrated on US-conflict of laws. Many of these are not applicable to Japanese private international law, which has completely different root and structure. We therefore decided to concentrate our efforts on this issue to shape up the instrument of analysis. Together with Max-Planck Institute for Foreign and International Private Law, we conduced a joint research and published a monography as the first publication in the world on the continental private international law and its economic analysis.
