Legal, Regulatory and Ethical Non-binary Choices of the AI Act
This book investigates the complex ethical dilemmas underpinning AI regulation, analysing the EU Artificial Intelligence Act in the context of the fundamental values and ambitious expectations that have accompanied it initially. This book posits a pioneering regulatory framework to ensure the ethical development and equitable deployment of AI technologies for societal benefit. The expanding integration of AI and its deepening interaction with humans raise profound ethical dilemmas. As legislators endeavour to address these rapid developments and ensure AI serves the public good and does not cause harm, this book discusses the ethical complexities which pose a significant challenge for the EU...
Human Rights in Contemporary European Law
This is volume 6 in the series Swedish Studies in European Law. Arising from the work of two well-attended seminars, this new volume concentrates on highly topical issues in European Law – current problems in the enforcement of human rights in Europe and the accession of the EU to the European Convention on Human Rights. Among the topics dealt with – apart from 'the accession issue' – are questions related to the enforcement of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, human rights as general principles of law, specific issues like the 'Double Jeopardy Clause' in relation to Swedish tax law, horizontal effect or so-called 'Drittwirkung' of human rights and the increased role of judicial and constitutional review in Swedish courts. The book should be of value to any reader with an interest in such matters.
The European Union and the Return of the Nation State
This book explores the complex and ever-changing relationship between the European Union and its member states. The recent surge in tension in this relationship has been prompted by the actions of some member state governments as they question fundamental EU values and principles and refuse to implement common decisions seemingly on the basis of narrowly defined national interests. Furthermore, Brexit forces the EU for the first time to face the prospect of a major member state preparing to leave the Union. Are these developments heralding the return of the nation-state, and if so, in what form? Is the national revival a lasting phenomenon that will affect the EU for a long time to come, or ...
International Investment Law and the Pandemic
This book discusses how the Covid pandemic has reshaped investment screening mechanisms, investment law and arbitration. Contributions from leading academics and practitioners offer a fresh perspective on the reform of the ISDS mechanism and investment treaties; security and public order risks in FDI screening; the application of treaty standards and customary law defences; and the critical role of scientific data in investment arbitration. With rare insights and unpublished data, this book is your essential guide to understanding the resilience of the investment regime in these challenging times.
National Security in International and Domestic Investment Law
This book offers a dynamic introduction to the new developments on national security review of foreign direct investment (FDI) from the perspectives of both domestic law and international investment law. COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have intensified FDI screening to an unprecedented scale, yet its purposes, scope and potential impact remain ambiguous and controversial. The book first attests the legitimacy of FDI screening by using the theory of National Security Constitution. Part I explicates the national security, public order and public health exceptions clauses in international investment law and the novel EU Regulation on FDI screening. Part II provides an in-depth anal...
Energy Dependence and Supply Security
Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine administered an unprecedented shock to the European and global energy markets, triggering emergency interventions and market reforms to limit the impact of the crisis on energy prices and supply security. More fundamentally, the supply shock sparked a profound reappraisal of foreign supply and infrastructure dependencies (for example, on China), leading states to adopt new legal initiatives to strengthen the resilience of their clean energy supply chains. Energy geopolitics and supply security are now firmly back at the centre of global energy policy, and in this new geopolitical reality, we critically need to reassess the role of energy law in the creation ...
Towards Non-Unidisciplinary Research in European Studies
This book not only defines what European Studies actually mean, but also considers how non-unidisciplinary research could be conceptualized in this field. As an alternative concept for inter-, cross-, trans- and multi-disciplinary studies, non-unidisciplinary European Studies, as defined in this volume, represent a conscious choice to look beyond what is normal. From various disciplinary starting points, the contributors step out of their discipline, giving perspective to pervasive norms and actively incorporating different approaches. Through this, the volume analyzes the motivations to engage in non-unidisciplinarity and develops new methods for European Studies.

Pierre Bourdieu
This special English language issue of the Nordic periodical Retfærd (Justice) is dedicated to the sociology of law and one of the great social theorists of the late 20th century, the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002). In his extensive catalogue of publications, Bourdieu provided the outline of sociology of the legal field. Moreover, in his many studies of other social fields, and especially in his in-depth analyses of the State, he addressed law and the legal profession as key elements of the development of modern society. Yet, as pointed out in the first article, Bourdieu's encounter with law remained, for a number of reasons, a somewhat unfulfilled research program, which ha...
Rule of Law in the EU
"This book looks at how successful the European project can be judged to have been over the last generation. The 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall marked a natural moment of stock taking and assessing how the world has evolved since then. The European Union, as much as any institution, could benefit from such introspection. This collection does just that; looking at the key changes in the last 30 years and assessing the Union's success or otherwise at responding to them. Addressing questions such as accession, the enlarged Union, enforcement and uncertainty in the European project, a team of experts gives its reasoned verdict"--
