Details

This major new Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of corporate governance across a range of countries including Australia, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey and the UK. Whilst the stage in the corporate governance life cycle may vary from country to country, there are certain core features which 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, the Handbook on International Corporate Governance provides an eloquent insight into the evolution of corporate governance in countries with diverse cultural, economic and legal systems.
