Résumé

This book assesses the impact of economic globalization on the key corporate governance systems of the UK, the US and Germany and examines the extent to which insider systems are converging towards outsider systems and whether in fact convergence is possible.

Texte suppl.

'This is a timely and important comparative analysis, published at a critical time, of the evolution of corporate governance structures as between the US/UK on the one hand ("outsider systems") and Germany on the other (an "insider system"). It seeks to answer the question whether globalisation will lead to the dominance of the outsider model and persuasively suggests that it will not. It should be read by interested academics and policymakers worldwide.' John Birds, University of Manchester, UK 'A timely and prescient analysis of the impact of globalization on corporate governance. Written by lawyers, but drawing widely on the scholarship of other disciplines, the resulting insights provide persuasive challenges to the prevailing orthodoxies. A central reference point for scholars of corporate governance from all disciplines and jurisdictions.' Eva Lomnicka, King's College London, UK
