Convergence in Shareholder Law
By
Mathias M. Siems
Description
On the one hand,
it can be argued that the increasing economic and political
interdependence of countries has led to the convergence of national
legal systems. On the other hand, advocates of the counterhypothesis
maintain that this development is both unrealistic and unnecessary.
Mathias Siems examines the company law of the UK, the USA, Germany,
France, Japan and China to see how this issue affects shareholder
law. The author subsequently analyses economic and political factors
which may or may not lead to convergence, and assesses the extent of
this development. Thus, Convergence of Shareholder Law not only
provides a thorough comparative legal analysis but also shows how
company law interconnects with political forces and economic
development and helps in evaluating whether harmonisation and
shareholder protection should be enhanced.
• Includes a
description of the company law in six major jurisdictions in one
accessible source • Explains the political and economic context
of shareholder protection, allowing reader to understand how company
law interconnects with political forces and economic development, in
particular in the context of ‘globalisation’ •
Typological approach to shareholder protection provides deeper
understanding than the mere compilation of legal rules
