Reihe: Global Issues

This book is designed to allow the introduction of comparative and transnational law issues into a basic corporation law class. It covers: choice of law; a basic typology of business organization forms in the world; limited liability and creditor protection concerns; corporate governance structures; mismanagement by directors and controlling shareholders; insider trading; and takeovers. Global Issues in Corporate Law is designed to inform, rather than overburden, the basic corporation law course. For example, the chapter on limited liability and creditor protection is built around United States court opinions seeking to pierce the corporate veil of foreign corporations. By substituting these cases for the cases typically used to cover this topic, the professor can cover piercing the corporate veil, plus comparative approaches to creditor protection, with no more reading than is typically committed just to piercing the corporate veil. Carefully drafted note materials make the book self-contained so that neither students nor the instructor should feel compelled to engage in extensive outside reading.
