Previous edition: 2009. 520 8 $a This is the long-awaited third edition of this highly regarded comparative overview of corporate law. This edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect the profound changes in corporate law and governance practices that have taken place since the previous edition. These include numerous regulatory changes following the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the changing landscape of governance, especially in the US, with the ever more central role of institutional investors as (active) owners of corporations. The geographic scope of the coverage has been broadened to include an important emerging economy, Brazil. In addition, the book now incorporates analysis of the burgeoning use of corporate law to protect the interests of "external constituencies" without any contractual relationship to a company, in an attempt to tackle broader social and economic problems. The authors start from the premise that corporations (or companies) in all jurisdictions share the same key legal attributes: legal personality, limited liability, delegated management, transferable shares, and investor ownership. Businesses using the corporate form give rise to three basic types of agency problems: those between managers and shareholders as a class; controlling shareholders and minority shareholders; and shareholders as a class and other corporate constituencies, such as corporate creditors and employees. After identifying the common set of legal strategies used to address these agency problems and discussing their interaction with enforcement institutions, The Anatomy of Corporate Law illustrates how a number of core jurisdictions around the world deploy such strategies. In so doing, the book highlights the many commonalities across jurisdictions and reflects on the reasons why they may differ on specific issues. The analysis covers the basic governance structure of the corporation, including the powers of the board of directors and the shareholder meeting, both when management and when a dominant shareholder is in control. It then analyses the role of corporate law in shaping labor relationships, protection of external stakeholders, relationships with creditors, related-party transactions, fundamental corporate actions such as mergers and charter amendments, takeovers, and the regulation of capital markets.--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a What is corporate law? / John Armour, Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman, and Mariana Pargendler -- Agency problems and legal strategies / John Armour, Henry Hansmann, and Reinier Kraakman -- The basic governance structure : the interests of shareholders as a class / John Armour, Luca Enriques, Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman -- The basic governance structure : minority shareholders and non-shareholder constituencies / Luca Enriques, Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman, and Mariana Pargendler -- Transactions with creditors / John Armour, Gerard Hertig, and Hideki Kanda -- Related-party transactions / Luca Enriques, Gerard Hertig, Hideki Kanda, and Mariana Pargendler -- Fundamental changes / Edward Rock, Paul Davies, Hideki Kanda, Reinier Kraakman, and Wolf-Georg Ringe -- Control transactions / Paul Davies, Klaus Hopt, and Wolf-Georg Ringe -- Corporate law and securities markets / Luca Enriques, Gerard Hertig, Reinier Kraakman, and Edward Rock -- Beyond the anatomy / John Armour, Luca Enriques, Mariana Pargendler, and Wolf-Georg Ringe. 650 0 $a Corporation law. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85032912 700 1 $a Armour, John, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2001018730 700 1 $a Pargendler, Mariana, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017038068 700 1 $a Ringe, Wolf-Georg, $e author. 700 1 $a Rock, Edward, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011024195 700 1 $a Davies, Paul, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85110288 700 1 $a Enriques, Luca, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2001102891 700 1 $a Hansmann, Henry, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88037953 700 1 $a Hertig, GeÌrard, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86082868 700 1 $a Hopt, Klaus, $e author. 700 1 $a Kanda, Hideki, $e author. 775 08 $i Revision of: $t Anatomy of corporate law $b 2nd ed. $d Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2009 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A9BDC56FAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
