Comparative corporate law

This book investigates corporate law in a comparative perspective, offering a systematic, in-depth, but also enjoyable analysis of the subject. After a brief overview of the methodological issues, topics covered include incorporation and regulatory competition among States, corporate finance, corporate governance, directors' liability, shareholders' litigation, shareholders' agreements, mergers and acquisitions, takeovers, insider trading, and international litigation and arbitration. The book intends to be the missing link between a traditional casebook, with judicial decisions, regulatory materials, contractual provisions and comments from several jurisdictions all duly translated in English; and a manual with extensive introductory and connecting paragraphs and detailed notes and questions to stimulate the discussion.
