The domain of international law has expanded to encompass matters traditionally thought to be within domestic jurisdiction via private international law (PIL) conventions and related phenomena. I wish to refer broadly to the unification and harmonization of legal rules and procedures governing the relations between private parties. This is by no means a new phenomenon; it is not only going strong, but growing stronger. My goal today is not to survey current developments in this field so much as to reflect upon some pervasive themes.
