As a result of the intensification of international trade and individual mobility, the cross-border issues are gaining importance. Transnational legal relations pose many difficulties for those who apply the law, ranging from the need to determine the jurisdiction of courts and the law applicable in the case at hand to recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, of both state courts and arbitration tribunals, as well as decisions of other public authorities. The mission of Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Międzynarodowego (“Problems of private international law”) is to publish in-depth scientific studies concerning the above mentioned topics.

Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Międzynarodowego is the only periodical in Poland devoted entirely to the issues of cross-border private law transactions. The Journal publishes research papers in the field of private international law (conflict-of-laws), comparative law, international civil procedure, international commercial law and international arbitration. It has a highly specialized character. Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Międzynarodowego is addressed to experts interested in cross-border private law transactions: not only academics but also practitioners seeking in-depth studies in the field. The Journal is a continuation of Problemy Prawne Handlu Zagranicznego (“Legal Problems of International Trade”), which was published from 1977 through 2000. Even before the socio-political transformation, the Journal was a pioneer that dealt with legal issues of international trade, taking into account knowledge, experience and legal practice from market economies. The editors wish to maintain this groundbreaking, focused, and international in content character of the Journal in a new, extended formula, also covering issues beyond commercial relationships.
