"The editors have assembled the latest cutting-edge research on
international corporate governance by respected academics in this
field. In this handbook, the editors deal with all aspects of the
significant legislative changes to corporate governance regulation.
It introduces the reader to the new rules that will certainly
improve the reliability and the accuracy of disclosures made by
corporations. The book comes at the right moment with the recent
scandals such as Enron, which will educate all readers especially
shareholders of corporate stock."
—Komlan Sedzro, Professor of Finance, University of Quebec at
Montreal
"Today, corporate governance is a topic at the center of public
policy debate in most industrialized countries. The range of
concerns; the variety of approaches; and their tendency to converge
in some areas or diverge in others (not always in the right
directions) are emphatically demonstrated by these essays. There is
material here of enormous interest for scholars of comparative law
and economic regulation. And significantly, the presentation of
essays from legal, financial, and regulatory viewpoints
demonstrates the growing practical as well as theoretical utility
of interdisciplinary work in this area. Professors Ali and
Gregoriou are to be warmly congratulated for their skill and
initiative in assembling an important publication, as well as for
their own contributions to interdisciplinary scholarship."

"This very international collection emphasizes the economic line
of descent, while including legal and socio-legal contributions. It
fills a very important gap in our empirical knowledge of corporate
governance. It is accessible and comprehensive and will greatly
assist readers from all relevant disciplines, who are trying to
discern the shape of corporate governance as a mature field."
—Dimity Kingsford Smith, Professor of Law, University of New
South Wales
