The study of corporate governance is a relatively modern development, with significant attention devoted to the subject only during the last fifty years.
The topics covered in this volume include the purpose of the corporation, the board of directors, the role of shareholders, and more contemporary developments like hedge fund activism, the role of sovereign wealth funds, and the development of corporate governance law in what perhaps will become the dominant world economy over the next century, China.
The editor has written an introductory essay which briefly describes the intellectual history of the field and analyses the material selected for the volume.
The papers which have been selected present what the editor believes to be some of the best and most representative studies of the subjects covered.
As a result the volume offers a rounded view of the contemporary state of the some of the dominant issues in corporate governance.
