 | Global Markets, Domestic Institutions: Corporate Law and Governance in a New Era of Cross-Border Deals Markets for capital, products, and managerial talent are expanding rapidly across national borders, yet domestic laws and practices have never had greater impact on corporate structures and cross-border deals. The distinguished contributors to this volume examine such issues as the possible convergence of corporate governance practices around the world, national variations in the quality of corporate law, and the fiduciary responsibilities corporate managers around the world owe to their shareholders. Case studies focus on France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, and the transition economies of Eastern Europe. Curtis J. Milhaupt is the Fuyo Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Japanese Legal Studies at Columbia Law School. He is the author of numerous works on comparative corporate law, and the co-editor of a textbook on the Japanese legal system. |
