Cover Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Financial Development
Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Financial Development
The Chinese Experience
Ding Chen
This important new book attempts to establish a fresh conceptual framework for the study of corporate governance by employing the new institutional economics of contract enforcement. This framework helps to clarify two critical issues including the role of law in financial development and whether there is an optimal corporate governance model that should be followed by countries attempting to develop their own stock markets.

Old Mutual’s Hostile Takeover of Skandia
Markus Kallifatides, Sophie Nachemson-Ekwall, and Sven-Erik Sjöstrand
This insightful book focuses upon corporate governance processes, and explores the conditions required for effective corporate governance and control in 21st century globalized and financialized economies. In presenting a comprehensive study of a cross-border hostile corporate take-over process, describing the actors, institutions and events involved, this book examines and questions the current forms of corporate governance and control – both from a national and a global perspective. Using Old Mutual’s takeover of Skandia as a case study, the authors address corporate governance theory, and highlight its two fundamental dimensions: financial and operational flows.

Little attention has been paid, however, to international laws and recommendations dealing with corporate governance in banking from a global perspective.
