국문 초록 (Abstract)

동아시아에서의 법의 통일과 조화는 근래에 이 지역에서의 지역적 통합이 진전되면서 널리 논의되고 있다. 동아시아에서 국제사법은 먼저 유럽, 미국 그리고 아프리카로부터의 경험에 기초하면서 이 지역에서의 국제사법의 저촉을 고려하면서 통일 및 조화되어야 한다는 것이 필자의 견해이다. 통일되고 조화된 국제사법은 지역적 통합을 증진시키고 내부시장을 창설하
는 데 도움을 줄 것이다. 그리하여 필자는 동아시아에서의 국제사법의 통
일과 조화의 가능성과 접근방법을 논의한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The unification and harmonization of laws in East Asia is widely discussed in recent years with the development of regional integration in this area. The author proposes that private international law in East Asia should first be unified and harmonized based on the experiences from Europe, America and Africa and taking into account the conflicts of private international law in the region. A unified and harmonized private international law will in turn help enhance the regional integration and create an internal market. Then the author discusses the possibility and approach of unifying and harmonizing private international law in East Asia.
