This book covers international investment law and investor-state dispute settlement in the energy transition era.The Paris Agreement makes it clear that we need a climate-resilient development in order to limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5℃ pre-industrial levels. International lawyers have caught up to reality and also to understanding the role that the legal framework and legal processes play in causing as well as solving the global climate crisis.

This insightful book explores the Perestroika era (1985–1991), considered to be one of the most eventful periods in modern history, and in particular the ways in which it affected the Soviet approach to international law.After assessing the reforms introduced by the Perestroika era, Kaj Hobér outlines the concept of ‘The New Thinking’ and its impact on Soviet international law as the guiding principle for the reorientation of Soviet foreign policy. The book examines specific aspects of public international law during this period, namely key sources of international law, peaceful coexistence, the use of force, border disputes, human rights approaches and foreign economic relations, as well as the dissolution of the USSR. Hobér argues that the Perestroika period represents a watershed in the Soviet approach to international law, and that the events continue to cast their shadow over Russia’s legal, political and sociocultural developments today. The Perestroika Era and International Law is a valuable resource for scholars specialising in public international law and legal history. Its analysis of the interrelation between Soviet international law, foreign policy and sociocultural policy will also be of interest to those working in foreign relations, politics and public policy.

Centret anordnade under år 2004 och år 2005 en serie seminarier om den finansiella sektorns intressekonflikter. Både forskare och praktiker deltog. Serien rönte stort intresse och frågorna har betydande aktualitet inom ett antal discipliner. Resultatet av seminarieserien har sammanställts i denna antologi med bidrag från ett tjugotal inledare/deltagare i serien. Det är dels en inventering av problemställningar och sanktioner, dels beskrivningar av varför intressekonflikter ses med olika ögon i skilda delar av denna samhällssektor och varför lösningarna av problemet skiljer sig åt mellan yrkesgrupper.

I boken behandlas bland annat frågan om intressekonflikter hos banker, advokater, revisorer, journalister, ratinginstitut, försäkringsbolag och myndigheter. Här tas också upp särskilda frågor som intressekonflikter skapade av lagstiftaren eller andra regelmakare, rättsekonomiska aspekter på intressekonflikter och utvecklingstendenser när det gäller lösningsmodellerna.
