Reihe: International Survey of Family Law

The International Society of Family Law is an independent, international, and non-political scholarly association dedicated to the study, research and discussion of family law and related disciplines. The Society’s membership currently includes professors, lecturers, scholars, teachers, and researchers from more than 50 different countries, offering a unique opportunity for networking within a truly international family law community.

The International Survey of Family Law is the annual review of the International Society of Family Law. It brings together reliable and clearly structured insights into the latest and most notable developments in family law from all around the globe. Chapters are prepared by an international team of selected experts in the field, usually covering 20 or more jurisdictions in each edition.

The 2020 edition addresses issues that relate to the whole fabric of family life, from surrogacy, assisted reproduction and adoption, to the care of vulnerable adults and elderly people. The chapters are particularly diverse in this edition, dealing with family formation, the functioning of intact families and families during or post-dissolution. Further chapters examine the protection of children by international organisations. Once again, our authors include emerging scholars as well as highly regarded academics, judges and practitioners.

'The volume is of particular value for academics, students, researchers and practitioners interested in family law, but also for those specialising in related areas. They are sure to find not only chapters presenting new developments and approaches in topics with which they are already familiar, but also several intellectually stimulating contributions to pique their interest towards novel paths for reflection and research.' -- Dafni Lima, International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family, 2021

'This survey is both interesting and illuminating covering particularly diverse areas this year from family formation, to the functioning on intact families, and families during or post-dissolution.' -- Elizabeth Robson Taylor and Phillip Taylor, The Barrister, 2020
