New Book about Financial Law
The anthology ”Financial Law” is volume 71 in the book series Scandinavian Studies in Law, published by the Stockholm Institute for Scandinavian Law at the Faculty of law, Stockholm University. The volume editors is Associate Professor Elisabeth Ahlinder and Dr Kelly Chen.
Financial law in the Nordic region has changed considerably in recent decades. The aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, expanding EU regulations, and the increasing complexity of financial markets have all contributed to a legal landscape where private law principles must coexist and interact with detailed public law regulations. This volume brings together Nordic experts to explore how financial markets are shaped by evolving legal frameworks. The chapters examine key challenges in financial stability, investor protection, corporate governance, and sustainable finance.
As financial markets continue to adapt to new risks and opportunities driven by economic shifts, technological developments, and changing policy priorities, this volume offers valuable insights into the legal and regulatory questions that shape the Nordic financial sector today.
