Title: The development of commercial law in Sweden and Finland (early modern period-nineteenth century) / edited by Katja Tikka.
Description: Leiden, The Netherlands : Koninklijke Brill NV, [2020] | Series: Legal history library ; volume 40 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “The Development of Commercial Law in Sweden and Finland provides a broad perspective on recent research into the history of North European commercial law in a comparative and international framework. The book brings together themes that have previously been considered largely from a national perspective. Despite Sweden’s and Finland’s peripheral locations in Europe, global legal phenomena occurred there as well. These countries were at the crossroads of cultures and commercial interests, allowing us to re-examine them as lively laboratories for commercial laws and practices rather than dismissing them as a negligible periphery. The importance of trade and international transactions cannot be disclaimed, but the book also emphasizes the resilient nature of commercial law”-- Provided by publisher.
