Abstract
Abstract This paper describes how the regulation of corporate takeovers has developed over time in an increasingly global context, using Sweden – which is now one of Europe’s largest stock markets and one of the most active markets for corporate control – as an example. The paper discusses aspects such as the use of a Takeover Panel as a regulatory tool. It touches upon the economic aspects of corporate takeovers and their role as a corporate governance tool and a tool for the efficient allocation of resources. The policy choice of whether to allocate blocking powers to the board of the target company or to adopt a board neutrality approach is discussed. Protectionist trends as opposed to openness and free trade are also touched upon.
