Description
This in-depth book explores the changing role of comparative law in an era of Europeanisation and globalisation. It explains how national law coexists and interacts with supranational and international law and how legal rules are produced by a variety of institutions alongside and beyond the nation-state. The book combines both theoretical and practically oriented contributions in the areas of law and development, comparative constitutional law, as well as comparative private and economic law.

Juridiken har en viktig roll i att värna rättsstaten. Jurister behöver därför en bred allmänbildning, inte bara fackkunskaper. Det traditionella bildningsbegreppet behöver kanske moderniseras, men är på många sätt ändå fortsatt viktigt, bland annat för att motverka fusk och kunskapsfientligt flum i hela samhällslivet.
An overview of the four Swedish constitutional acts, including a description of the historical development in this area. Swedish constitutional "pecularities" are identified and described, such as the hitherto strong freedom of the press.
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Sweden provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Sweden will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.
Genom tillkomsten av EU:s rättighetsstadga 2000 och införlivandet av densamma i EU_fördraget 2009 har EU-domstolen och nationella domstolar fått ett nytt, ibland kraftfullt verktyg för att skydda de grundläggande fri- och rättigheterna. Detta har dock lyckats väsentligt bättre på vissa rättsområden än på andra.
This is an analysis of the current EU rule of law crisis. It takes the impact of the Charter of Fundamental Rights as its point of departure.
Two important judgments from 2013 show that Swedish courts are henceforth more willing than before to accept the supremacy of European law and thus to act as its protectors.
