This chapter presents an overview of the historical circumstances leading to a division of competence between “making” private international law in foreign affairs terms; and giving effect to (“doing”) private international law domestically. Drawing on this dichotomy, the chapter reflects on a Scottish experience of judicial cooperation in practice. Using an anthropological lens this chapter reflects on identifying the required “Other” for cooperation - a binary requiring some aspect of “foreignness” of another law. This is considered both in the context of the UK as a multi-jurisdictional state; and as part of a nascent field within attempts to create a European area of freedom, security and justice. These reflections provide a practical overview of an era which seems certain to see some change in the near future.

 Resumen: La sentencia objeto del presente comentario resuelve, en sentido confirmatorio, el recur­so de apelación presentado contra una sentencia de instancia que declara la disolución de un matrimonio celebrado en Israel y adopta las correspondientes medidas definitivas respecto al hijo común. Entre los motivos de apelación, el recurrente alega la existencia de un proceso de divorcio pendiente en Israel, lo que constituye una situación de litispendencia internacional regulada por el artículo 39 LCJIMC. Pero la Audiencia Provincial de Barcelona ignora el precepto, limitándose a desechar la aplicación del artículo 19 del Reglamento 2201/2003, por no tratarse de un supuesto de litispendencia intracomunitaria. Un ra­zonamiento correcto pero incompleto, que se deja en el camino justamente la resolución de la verdadera cuestión jurídica planteada en la litis.Palabras clave: disolución de matrimonio, Reglamento 2201/2003, competencia judicial interna­cional, litispendencia internacional, Ley de Cooperación Jurídica Internacional en Materia Civil, Dere­cho internacional privado.Abstract: The commented sentence resolves, in a confirmatory sense, the appeal filed against an instance judgement declaring the dissolution of a marriage celebrated in Israel and adopting the man­datory measures regarding the common child. Among the grounds of appeal, the appellant alleges the existence of a pending divorce process in Israel, which constitutes a situation of international litigation governed by article 39 Act 29/2015 of July 30. But the Provincial Court of Barcelona ignores the pre­cept, limiting itself to rejecting the application of article 19 of Regulation 2201/2003, since it is not an intra-community litigation case. A correct but incomplete reasoning, which leaves precisely the resolu­tion of the true legal issue raised in the litigation.Keywords: dissolution of marriage, Council Regulation (EC) Nº 2201/2003 of 27 November, in­ternational jurisdiction, Act on International Judicial Cooperation in Civil Matters (Act 29/2015 of July 30), international lis pendes, private international law.

The EU legislation in the area of private international law addresses explicitly the “negative” aspect of public policy, i.e. the non-application of the otherwise applicable law on the ground that it is at variance with the fundamental values of the forum. By contrast, the legislative measures adopted so far remain silent as to the law or rules that one should apply as a result of the successful invocation of the public policy defence. The paper aims, first, to assess the approach whereby the latter issue should be decided in accordance with the private international law rules of the forum. Secondly, the paper contends that an autonomous solution to the issue of the subsidiarily applicable law should mirror the goals pursued by the EU legislator – namely autonomy, flexibility, proximity and foreseeability –, and enshrined in the already adopted instruments dealing with the conflict of laws, rather than following the more widely known and endorsed approaches either not ensuring foreseeability and legal certainty, or leading to the immediate application of the lex fori. The focus will be on conflict-of-law rules in family matters, although similar patterns can be exported to other areas of the judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters.

This book opens a cross-regional dialogue and shifts the Eurocentric discussion on diversity and integration to a more inclusive engagement with South America in private international law issues. It promotes a contemporary vision of private international law as a discipline enabling legal interconnectivity, with the potential to transcend its disciplinary boundaries to further promote the reality of cross-border integration, with its focus on the ever-increasing cross-border mobility of individuals. Private international law embraces legal diversity and pluralism. Different legal traditions continue to meet, interact and integrate in different forms, at the national, regional and international levels. Different systems of substantive law couple with divergent systems of private international law (designed to accommodate the former in cross-border situations). This complex legal landscape impacts individuals and families in cross-border scenarios, and international commerce broadly conceived. Private international law methodologies and techniques offer means for the coordination of this constellation of legal orders and value systems in cross-border situations. Bringing together world-renowned academics and experienced private international lawyers from a wide range of jurisdictions in Europe and South America, this edited collection focuses on the connective capabilities of private international law in bridging and balancing legal diversity as a corollary for the development of integration. The book provides in-depth analysis of the role of private international law in dealing with legal diversity across a diverse range of topics and jurisdictions.
