Corporate
law and corporate governance have been at the forefront of regulatory
activities across the world for several decades now, and are subject to
increasing public attention following the Global Financial Crisis of
2008. The Oxford Handbook of Corporate Law and Governance provides the
global framework necessary to understand the aims and methods of legal
research in this field. Written by leading scholars from around the
world, the Handbook contains a rich variety of chapters that provide a
comparative and functional overview of corporate governance. It opens
with the central theoretical approaches and methodologies in corporate
law scholarship in Part I, before examining core substantive topics in
corporate law, including shareholder rights, takeovers and
restructuring, and minority rights in Part II. Part III focuses on new
challenges in the field, including conflicts between Western and Asian
corporate governance environments, the rise of foreign ownership, and
emerging markets. Enforcement issues are covered in Part IV, and Part V
takes a broader approach, examining those areas of law and finance that
are interwoven with corporate governance, including insolvency,
taxation, and securities law as well as financial regulation. The
Handbook is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary resource placing
corporate law and governance in its wider context, and is essential
reading for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the field.
