Corporate Governance in Global Capital Markets

edited by Janis Sarra

tagged: corporate
Description

The recent failures of Enron, WorldCom, and other large publicly traded corporations have catapulted the issue of corporate governance onto the international stage. In this timely book, Janis Sarra draws together the work of legal scholars and practitioners from across North America to provide a comprehensive analysis of corporate governance issues in global capital markets. The contributors to this collection explore the theoretical underpinnings of corporate governance and provide concrete illustration of different models and their outcomes. While the perspectives of the authors sometimes differ, their common project is to explore different normative conceptions of the corporation in order to contribute to an analysis of global trends in corporate governance.

Editorial Reviews

This collection of advisory essays addressed in a useable way the need for accountability in the boardroom. Coming as it does on the heels of exposed CEO avarice and the accompanying criminal and civil litigation it is an educational read for trial and corporate lawyers.
