The University of Chicago Press The Failure of Corporate Law Fundamental Flaws
Book SynopsisStates that the laws controlling firms should be much more protective of the public interest and of the corporation's various stakeholders. This title proposes changes in corporate governance that would enable corporations to meet the progressive goal of creating wealth for society as a whole rather than merely for shareholders and executives.Trade Review"Kent Greenfield demonstrates with remarkable clarity how a series of essential changes in the premises and obligations of the corporation can turn the nature of the beast in very positive directions." - William Greider, author of The Soul of Capitalism: Opening Paths to a Moral Economy "Greenfield commences with a reconsideration of the basic and generally accepted purposes and norms of law. The result is as startling as it is enlightening.... A seminal piece of writing that evidences dominance of a vast range of ideas, research, and critical thinking, and puts it into a coherent, well argued, accessible whole." - Law and Politics Book Review"

The University of Chicago Press Church State Corporation Construing Religion in
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Sullivan is a distinguished scholar of religious studies and law and religion. Her book, Church State Corporation, turns a humanist’s eye on the evolving law of religious institutions. . . . Sullivan does an excellent job of revealing oddities and inconsistencies in subtle details of the cases on religious institutions, of reading legal sources in creative ways to highlight unspoken assumptions, and of using nonlegal sources to pose questions about the way the law deals with religious institutions. The book is full of learned reflections on church history, religious sociology, and new directions in theology. Scholars of law and religion from any number of disciplinary backgrounds will find the book rich with ideas and provocations." * Marginalia *"[A] careful and nuanced ethnography of the Supreme Court’s political theology." * Constitutional Commentary *"In this polemical yet scholarly tour de force, Sullivan interrogates the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulings in recent major religious freedom cases on theological and legal grounds." * Journal of American History *"Sullivan examines the deeply ambiguous and often unacknowledged ways in which Christian theology remains alive and at work in the US legal imagination. Through readings of the opinions oft he US Supreme Court and other legal texts, Sullivan argues that 'the church' as a religious collective is granted special privilege in US law." * Law & Social Inquiry *"In Church State Corporation, Sullivan approaches political theology through law, and she takes the intermediary association, shapeshifting between church and corporation, as her primary object of study. . . . While US discussions of law and religion have lazily focused on free exercise and disestablishment, unnecessarily centering imagined sovereigns (state, individual), Sullivan’s work and a growing body of religious studies scholarship pushes in fruitful new directions. . . . Church State Corporation helpfully pushes discussions in the field of political theology to take law seriously and models what that would look like. It also provides an entry point for religious studies scholars to join conversations in political theology without holding their noses." -- Vincent Lloyd * Political Theology Network *“Church State Corporation investigates the current state of the particularly American field of ‘disestablished’ religion, sweeps aside shopworn discussions of secularization, and draws deeply on theological traditions to confidently map the intersections of law and religion that support so many features of collective life. The erudition on display in Sullivan’s work is stunning, the argumentation laser-sharp, and the question being pursued is original and important.” -- Mathew Scherer, author of Beyond Church and State: Democracy, Secularism, and Conversion“Church State Corporation will fundamentally refigure conversations about religious establishment in the US. Sullivan’s argument is both admirably urgent and nonpartisan. Anyone concerned with the legal status of religion in both American and international law needs to read this book.” -- Leora Batnitzky, author of How Judaism Became a Religion: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought"In trenchant and gripping prose, Sullivan charts how the ambiguous American ideal of ‘religious freedom’ became the jurisprudential ground on which the unholy trinity of contemporary US society—church/state/corporation—was constructed. Each chapter is a revelation, inviting a fundamental rethinking of the fate of religion in the US public sphere. Sullivan’s call for attention to religious practice and imagination beyond the limits of the ‘religion’ that is legally ‘free’ is a powerful challenge to all interested in the intersection of religion and politics." -- Robert Orsi, author of History and PresenceTable of ContentsNote on Capitalization Note to European Readers Introduction.

Book SynopsisIncluding real-life cases, this book reveals the dynamics of the corporate governance process and the double standards that often characterize it. It suggests that women have been ill-advised by experts, who tend to teach females how to act like their male, executive counterparts.Trade ReviewThis book should be read by anyone interested in advancing to the boardrooms in corporate America. . . .

University of Minnesota Press Corporate Sovereignty Law and Government under
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewCorporate Sovereignty provides a genealogy of corporate power, and argues that it is historically and ontologically linked to modern political sovereignty. Joshua Barkan takes the reader with care and attention through complex legal debates, and draws out those aspects that are fascinating in the contemporary context. He contributes to the academic debate concerning understandings of corporate power in the age of globalization, and speaks to theoretical debates concerning the theoretisation of the exception, as is done through the work of Agamben and others. The result is a wonderful book that genuinely sheds new light on our current understandings of corporate power.—Marieke de Goede, University of AmsterdamTable of ContentsContentsIntroduction1.
