These networks have raised thorny private international law issues both in respect of relationship among their members as well as in relation to the relationship between those networks and outsiders. This Chapter examines these issues and offers forward-looking thoughts on the role which the HCCH may play in tackling these issues. To do so, the authors examine the nature and characteristics of these contract networks, followed by an analysis of the private international law issues arising from them. The authors then consider the role of the HCCH in this area and observe that in light of an apparent trend towards developing different types of networks for different purposes, the HCCH would need to be prepared to deal with piecemeal rules for each type of network as they develop at national levels and gain traction internationally.","PeriodicalId":253452,"journal":{"name":"The Elgar Companion to the Hague Conference on Private International Law","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122355697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For more than 125 years, the Organisation has been, and continues to be, a shining example of the tangible benefits effective and successful multilateralism can yield for people and business around the globe. With this Companion, we set out to provide a unique, unprecedented and comprehensive insight into the HCCH, compiling in one source accessible and thought-provoking contributions on the Organisation’s work. Written by some of the world’s leading private international lawyers, all of whom have directly or indirectly worked closely with the HCCH, the result is a collection of innovative and reflective contributions, which we believe will inform shaping the future of this important global institution. In the first Foreword to this Companion, the current Secretary General of the HCCH, Dr Christophe Bernasconi, elegantly captured the value of the contributions for the future development of private international law. For the Secretary General to make this observation is significant: the HCCH is the premier international organisation mandated to help achieve global consensus on the private international law rules regulating cross-border personal and commercial relationships. We are grateful for his support of this project.","PeriodicalId":253452,"journal":{"name":"The Elgar Companion to the Hague Conference on Private International Law","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134492385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
