Advanced Introduction to Corporate Governance Law and RegulationEdward Elgar has published a new book by Brian CheffinsAdvanced Introduction to Corporate Governance Law and Regulation.

The book focuses on facets of corporate law essential to the governance of publicly traded companies. It deploys a robust theoretical and multijurisdictional framework to analyse the elements of corporate law crucial for governance, offering incisive insights into both corporate law and corporate governance. The book uses an influential ‘contractarian’ approach to corporate law to explain the operation of public companies and goes on to consider company governance codes and systems, the role of the board and shareholders, and executive pay.

For readers already familiar with corporate governance, Advanced Introduction to Corporate Governance Law and Regulation offers a considerably more thorough analysis of corporate law than is typical in general treatments of corporate governance. For those conversant in corporate law who are not familiar with corporate governance, the book deals with the topic in sufficient depth to mean they should have a good grasp of corporate governance essentials once they have canvassed all chapters. Finally, the strongly comparative orientation of the book means it should have substantial cross-border appeal.
