The distinction between public and private law and the conflict of laws.

Summary Through the prism of the summa divisio between public and private law, or more subtly the dynamics of this distinction in the field of conflict of laws, Clotilde Camus questions, in fact, the evolution and the future of the latter. If this questioning does indeed presuppose a perception of the relativity of these categories, both historically and in comparative law, it is not a question of calling them into question but of recalling the need to keep in mind both the raison d'être of this dualism and the relationship it has, in time and space, with the conception of law as a whole and the way in which it is deployed internationally.
