Globalization and private international law.

Summary The title of this contribution alone will no doubt be enough to divert those who think that globalization is semantically an anglicism, conceptually a fashionable effect, or at worst an economic ideology without legal consequences. From the perspective of private international law, the phenomena it covers (assuming they are demonstrated) would not deprive the latter of its traditional forms, structure and object, which would endure despite the intensity and velocity of the exchanges that now link the different corners of the globe, the financialization of the economy and the interconnection of the markets that it brings, the new centrality of risk, or the digitalization of the human being.
