This is the long-awaited second edition of this highly regarded comparative        overview of corporate law. This edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect        profound changes in corporate law. It now includes consideration of additional        matters such as the highly topical issue of enforcement in corporate law, and        explores the continued convergence of corporate law across jurisdictions.The authors        start from the premise that corporate (or company) law across jurisdictions        addresses the same three basic agency problems: (1) the opportunism of managers        vis-vis shareholders; (2) the opportunism of controlling shareholders        vis-vis minority shareholders; and (3) the opportunism of shareholders        as a class vis-vis other corporate constituencies, such as corporate        creditors and employees. Every jurisdiction must address these problems in a variety        ofcontexts, framed by the corporation's internal dynamics and its interactions with        the product, labor, capital, and takeover markets. The authors' central claim,        however, is that corporate (or company) forms are fundamentally similar and that, to        a surprising degree, jurisdictions pick from among the same handful of        legalstrategies to address the three basic agency issues.This book explains in        detail how (and why) the principal European jurisdictions, Japan, and the United        States sometimes select identical legal strategies to address a given corporate law        problem, and sometimes make divergent choices. After an introductory discussion of        agency issues and legal strategies, the book addresses the basic governance        structure of the corporation, including the powers of the board of directors and the        shareholders meeting. It proceeds to creditor protection measures,related-party        transactions, and fundamental corporate actions such as mergers and charter        amendments. Finally, it concludes with an examination of friendly acquisitions,        hostile takeovers, and the regulation of the capital markets.
