Nordic company law is deeply integrated in European company law. Yet Nordic company law retains its own essence. This volume discusses core Nordic company law issues of control, purpose and profit in companies ranging from microenterprises to listed companies. The volume goes beyond the traditional scope of Nordic company law by also encompassing enterprise foundations and cooperatives and conceptualising, for the first time, Sámi company law.

This volume speaks to all interested in the topical company law and corporate governance debates. These include: What will digitalisation mean for corporate governance? What role for company law in the transformation to sustainability? Does state control of multinational listed enterprises entail good corporate governance?

The authors are leading Nordic scholars in their fields. Covering all five Nordic countries and the Sápmi, they bring to the reader the state of the art concerning challenges and possibilities for Nordic company law. With its in-depth analysis of pan-Nordic and jurisdiction-specific themes, the volume is an indispensable resource for academics, students, practitioners, policy-makers and journalists interested in Nordic company law and its contributions to the European and international debates of our time.
