"Bruce Aronson and Joongi Kim Corporate governance endures as an important and popular field of study, but one which is also complicated by multiple definitions, an uncertain relationship with economic growth and development, and the difficulties in formulating a consistent approach that goes beyond current perceptions but is grounded in the real world. This Book takes a comparative approach to corporate governance to analyse the leading markets in Asia. It pays heed to the challenge of applying largely Western-based general theory to a variety of dynamic jurisdictions in Asia that differ materially from the countries from which such theory originated. At the same time, it seeks to examine actual practice from local Asian contexts to provide a deeper understanding of corporate governance issues from a comparative perspective. I. Basic Issues in Corporate Governance 1. What is Corporate Governance?

European consumer protection : theory and practice / edited by James Devenney and Mel Kenny.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:58:26 +0900

edited by James Devenney and Mel Kenny.. European consumer protection : theory and practice. Cambridge University Press; Cambridge University Press, 2012.. ISBN:9781107013018
"This volume analyses the theory and practice of European consumer protection in the context of consolidation initiatives seen, inter alia, in the revision of the Consumer Acquis, the Draft Common Frame of Reference and the proposal for an EU Consumer Rights Directive. The issues addressed are all the more significant given the revisions to the proposed Directive, the appointment of an 'Expert Group on a Common Frame of Reference' and the Commission's 2010 Green Paper on progress towards a European Contract Law. The contributions to this volume point to the arrival of a contested moment in EU consumer protection, questioning the arrival of the 'empowered' consumer and uncovering the fault lines between consumer protection and other goals. What emerges is a model of poly-contextual EU consumer protection law, a model that challenges the assumptions in both the 2010 Green Paper and the revised proposed Consumer Rights Directive"--

International commercial contracts : applicable sources and enforceability / Giuditta Cordero-Moss.

"Any practising lawyer and student working with international commercial contracts faces standardised contracts and international arbitration as mechanisms for dispute settlement. Transnational rules may be applicable, but national law is still important. Based on extensive practical experience, this book analyses international contract practice and its interaction with the various applicable sources: which role is played by the contractual regulation, which by national law, which by transnational sources, what is the interaction among these factors, and how does this all apply to contracts that refer disputes to international arbitration?"--

Corporate lawyers and corporate governance / Joan Loughrey.

Corporate lawyers and corporate governance / Joan Loughrey.. Cambridge University Press; Cambridge University Press, 2011., International corporate law and financial market regulation. ISBN:9780521762557
"This assessment of the corporate governance role of corporate lawyers in the UK analyses the extent to which lawyers can and should act as gate-keepers, counsellors and reputational intermediaries. Focusing on external and in-house lawyers' roles in both dispersed share-ownership and owner-managed companies, Joan Loughrey highlights the conflicts of interest that are endemic in corporate representation and examines how lawyers should respond when corporate agents provide instructions contrary to the company client's interests. She also considers the legitimacy of 'creative compliance', the ethical arguments for and against lawyers prioritising the public interest over their clients' interests, and their exposure to liability if they fail to perform a corporate governance role. Finally, she considers whether the reforms to the legal profession will promote the lawyer's corporate governance role and advances suggestions for reform"-- Provided by publisher. "The role of corporate lawyers and their firms: the issues In 2010 a leading City law firm, Linklaters, attracted unwelcome media attention1 when the bankruptcy examiner's report into the collapse of Lehman Brothers found that a legal opinion it had provided to its client had been used to mislead US authorities, although there was no suggestion that Linklaters itself had done anything wrong.2 The media interest was short-lived and gave rise to no broader debate about the role corporate law firms played for their corporate clients. In contrast, in the United States, even before Enron collapsed in 2000, there was lively debate on the subject of corporate lawyers and their corporate governance role"-- Provided by; publisher.

EU prospectus law : new perspectives on regulatory competition in securities markets / Pierre Schammo.. Cambridge University Press; Cambridge University Press, 2011., International corporate law and financial market regulation. ISBN:9780521517652
"Pierre Schammo provides a detailed analysis of EU prospectus law (and the 2010 amendments to the Prospectus Directive) and assesses the new rules governing the European Securities and Markets Authority, including the case law on the delegation of powers to regulatory agencies. In a departure from previous work on securities regulation, the focus is on EU decision-making in the securities field. He examines the EU's approach to prospectus disclosure enforcement and its implementation at Member State level and breaks new ground on regulatory competition in the securities field by providing a 'law-in-context' analysis of the negotiations of the Prospectus Directive"--Provided by publisher.

Business and human rights in Southeast Asia : risk and the regulatory turn / edited by Mahdev Mohan and Cynthia Morel.

edited by Mahdev Mohan and Cynthia Morel.. Business and human rights in Southeast Asia : risk and the regulatory turn. Routledge, 2015., Routledge research in human rights law. ISBN:9780415707459
"Today business and human rights has emerged as a distinct field within the broader corporate responsibility movement. The endorsement by the United Nations Human Rights Council of a new set of Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights in 2011 has been welcomed as the leading global standard for corporations to respect human rights. The Guiding Principles are the culmination of a six year UN commissioned study by Harvard Universitys Professor John Ruggie, which concludes that companies should carry out human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address their adverse human rights impacts. The Guiding Principles reinforce the state duty to protect against human rights abuses by third parties including business; the corporate responsibility to respect human rights; and greater access by victims to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial.This book draws on the UN Guiding Principles to provide an overview of developments within the ASEAN region in relation to business and human rights. Bridging theory and practice, chapter authors will discuss the implications of key case-studies undertaken across the region, with a particular focus on extractive industries, migration and infrastructure projects. Topics covered include: due diligence and the role of audits; the role CSR can play in achieving sustainable socio economic development; businesses responsibilities to migrant workers; and the prevention of human rights abuses in states with weak levels of governance. The book aims to shed light on how ASEAN States currently understand and approach business and human rights challenges, and how the role played by ASEAN States may be strengthened and expanded. In doing so it clearly identifies the key themes, opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the region in relation to business and human rights"--; "This book draws on the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights to provide an overview of developments within the ASEAN region in relation to business and human rights.

Consumer credit, debt and investment in Europe / edited by James Devenney and Mel Kenny.

edited by James Devenney and Mel Kenny.. Consumer credit, debt and investment in Europe. Cambridge University Press, 2012.. ISBN:9781107013025
"This topical collection of essays emanates from the Consumer Protection in Europe: Theory and Practice duo colloquium in December 2009. That conference explored consumer protection in Europe and covered topics which are even more relevant today given the revisions to the proposed Consumer Rights Directive, the appointment of an Expert Group on a common frame of reference and the Green Paper on European Contract Law. It was organised within the work programme Credit and Debt: Protecting the Vulnerable in Europe - a project placing emphasis on vulnerability in financial transactions. This volume focuses on consumer protection in credit and investments in the context of unprecedented turmoil in those markets and EU harmonisation initiatives in the area. It explores key issues such as responsible lending, information disclosure, consumer confidence, the regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank depositors"--
