Description

Comparative Corporate Law: United States, European Union, China, and Japan: Cases and Materials Larry Catá Backer ISBN 9780890895269

This book examines the legal frameworks that govern relationships among a corporation’s key participants—shareholders, officers, directors—and the state across the world’s most significant commercial jurisdictions.

It highlights important differences in corporate governance systems, focusing in particular on formal sources of law and how those laws are applied in practice through regulation. The book also explores cross-border interaction among governance regimes by analyzing how corporations formed in one jurisdiction are recognized and allowed to operate in others.

Comparative Corporate Law uses these comparisons to assess whether apparent differences are largely superficial, concealing a shared core of governing principles, or whether they reflect fundamentally incompatible approaches to corporate regulation. Its central objective is to explain how corporate governance systems evolve and adapt in response to the presence of other, often competing, regulatory models.

In an era defined by global commerce, forces such as harmonization, convergence, emulation, and regulatory divergence are inseparable from the comparative study of corporate governance. Backer offers a clear, detailed framework for understanding these dynamics and their implications for corporate law in a globalized economy.
