This book would certainly become a standard work for the theory and practice of legal translation if it had been written in a more internationally accessible language than Swedish. In this review, the book's main ideas are presented more extensively than would otherwise be necessary so that those readers who do not have a good command of Swedish can form an idea of the work's merits. The book treats, with great competence, the following problems: Linguistic and legal problems connected to international agreements that exist in different authentic versions or in a language that is not that of the parties who are making the agreement; quality control of legal translations, especialy those in Sweden; the translation of general language vocabulary that is found in legal texts; the question of equivalence relationships in the translation of legal terms; the translation of culturally bound vocabulary; translation of names of different courts, authorities and organizations; problems in the translation of designations for different crimes as well as for legal terms with ideological connotations; linguistic limitations within any given language due to incongruities in certain terms that are used not only within the context of national law but also within international law. The book's theoretical commentaries are characterized by balance and are accompanied by a great deal of useful advice for solving practical problems of translation. This reviewer would like to see better bilingual dictionaries that are based on complete and thorough comparative analyses of legal systems and that are of the same type as that which Vogel has carried out using only a limited number of examples.

This chapter examines issues surrounding the regulation of cross-border surrogacy. There is a complete void in the regulation of surrogacy arrangements at the international level, with no specific provisions designed to regulate this emerging area of international family law. In the absence of a global legislative response, highly complex legal problems arise. Among these problems, the key private international law issue is legal parenthood, along with nationality and immigration. This chapter first addresses the issue regarding legal parenthood as it relates to cross-border surrogacy before discussing the diversity in national approaches to surrogacy. It then analyses the UK approach to surrogacy, focusing on ‘section 54’ requirements of Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 and authorisation of payments to surrogate mothers that exceed the reasonable pregnancy-related expenses, and concludes with an overview of human rights considerations relating to cross-border surrogacy.

<p><em>This article discusses the importance of conflict of laws and private international law in Indonesia. Both fields of law are two-side of coin in the context of Indonesia. The author argues that many legal problems in Indonesia have their roots in the ignorance of legal pluralism. The article begins with mapping out legal pluralism since colonial period to the present. The author explains with legal pluralism calls for the science of conflict of laws/private international law. Indonesia’s attempt to attract foreign investors have entailed a series of legal reform. However, those reforms have ignored the pluralistic aspects of the legal system. The development of legal system has been caught between competing interests. The author therefore argues that understanding of the science of conflict of laws/private international law is the key for future development.</em></p>
