To mitigate these risks, legislators, judges, and corporate lawyers have tried to learn from foreign experiences and adapt their regulatory regimes to them. In the last three decades, this approach has led to a stream of corporate and capital market law reforms unseen before. Corporate governance, the system by which companies are directed and controlled, is today a key topic for legislation, practice, and academia all over the world. Corporate scandals and financial crises have repeatedly highlighted the need to better understand the economic, social, political, and legal determinants of corporate governance in individual countries. Comparative Corporate Governance furthers this goal by bringing together current scholarship in law and economics with the expertise of local corporate governance specialists from twenty-three countries.1 aFleckner, Andreas M.,eeditor of compilation.1 aHopt, Klaus J.,eeditor of compilation.08iPrint version: z9781107025110 0aInternational Corporate Law and Financial Market Regulation.40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139177375  c179108d179108
