Abstract
The article argues that the traditional distinction between public and private law is increasingly challenged by globalization and privatization, which blur the boundaries between the vertical (state-individual) and horizontal (private party-private party) relationships that have historically defined these categories. It contends that these phenomena create significant legal and theoretical difficulties, prompting a reexamination of the public-private divide and its continued relevance in the 21st century.
