Corporate Control and Accountability: Changing Structures and Dynamics of Regulation

This multi-disciplinary volume brings together lawyers, accountants, sociologists and economists to explore the central themes of the legal and organizational accountability of the public corporation. It offers the first sustained attempt to transcend the institutionalist and contractarian visions which, during the 1980s, became the mainstream perspectives in corporate analysis. This highly topical volume includes papers on such topics as corporate groups and network structure, the American law of corporate groups, and private business and corporate fiduciary law.
