International Commercial Arbitration in Sweden

International Commercial Arbitration in Sweden offers comprehensive coverage and analysis of the principles, rules, and legal aspects of international commercial arbitration in Sweden. Sweden has long been a leading centre for international arbitrations, particularly for disputes involving parties from the Russian Federation, other Eastern European countries, and China.

Written by a renowned author with more than 25 years experience, practising both as counsel and arbitrator, this book utilizes personal and professional experience to provide the non-Swedish reader with an in-depth knowledge of Swedish arbitration laws as they are applied internationally. Special attention is paid to issues relating to the conflict of laws and further aspects of private and public international law, such as issues around the enforcement of foreign awards in Sweden.

This new edition features additional appendices providing a detailed overview of the key cases and legislative amendments since the publication of the first edition.
