Handbook on International Corporate Governance:
Country Analyses
Christine A. Mallin
The second edition of this major Handbook provides a
thoroughly revised and extensive analysis of the development of corporate
governance across a broad range of countries including Australia, China,
Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey and
the UK. Additional coverage in this second edition includes Brazil, Hungary,
Malaysia, and Norway. The Handbook reveals that while the stage in the
corporate governance life cycle may vary from country to country, there are
certain core features that emerge such as the importance of transparency,
disclosure, accountability of directors and protection of minority
shareholders' rights.
With contributions by leading academics and
practitioners in the field of corporate governance, this important Handbook
provides a comprehensive insight into the evolution of corporate governance in
countries with diverse cultural, economic and legal systems.
