Oxford University Press Corporate Ownership and Control British Business Transformed
Book SynopsisThe typical British publicly traded company has widely dispersed share ownership and is run by professionally trained managers who collectively own an insufficiently large percentage of shares to dictate the outcome when shareholders vote. This separation of ownership and control has not only dictated the tenor of corporate governance debate in Britain but serves to distinguish the UK from most other countries. Existing theories fail to account adequately for arrangements in the UK. Corporate Ownership and Control accordingly seeks to explain why ownership became divorced from control in major British companies. The book is organized by reference to the ''sell side'', which encompasses the factors that might prompt those owning large blocks of shares to exit or accept dilution of their stake, and the ''buy side'', which involves factors that motivate investors to buy equities and deter the new shareholders from themselves exercising control. The book''s approach is strongly historicalTrade ReviewThis fine survey is a definitive contribution to British business and legal history, but it can also be recommended to anyone trying to understand long-run developments in financial markets and corporate governance elsewhere. * Leslie Hannah, Business History Review *Its ideas are too important to be limited to universities and libraries. And, although the focus is on Britain, it has relevance for other economies, not least the US. * Morgen Witzel, Financial Times *Cheffin's book is an excellent contribution to the missing debate and literature in the United Kingdom on why the separation of ownership from control occured in the United Kingdom. It provides credible reasons with empirical data to support the findings. there are some useful charts and data by way of support. This book is highly recommended and should be on all bookshelves. * Dr Saleem Sheikh, International Company and Commercial Law Review, Issue 10, 2009 *A fascinating analytical investigation of a pervasive feature of modern British companies...for those seeking an understanding of how British companies have developed and of the underlying reasons for the governance of British companies, in their historical and economic context, there can be no better place to start than with this book. It has been meticulously and scrupulously researched and is elegantly and engagingly written...Professor Cheffin's book embodies the very best features of academic scholarship and deserves to be widely read and consulted. It comes with this reviewer's strongest endorsement. * Professor Stephen Girvin, The Journal of Business Law, Issue 7, 2009 *Business historians, economists and, I am sure, a much wider readership will turn repeatedly to this volume for a substantive account of the ownership of British business over the past two centuries * Robin Pearson, University of Hull, Business Archives: Sources and History, No 99 *The author states that the book 'offers numerous insights for those interested in comparative corporate governance, for those engaged in the study of British business and economic history and for those intrigued by the relationship between law and markets' (p.24). There is no doubt that the book succeeds in doing this and in doing it exceedingly well. * Graeme Wines, Accounting History 15.133 *The book offers various insights for advanced students and researchers interested in British business and economic history. And, although it focuses on Britain, the book is a mine of insightful information for those seeking an improved understanding of comparative corporate governance. * Dionysia Katelouzou, Phd, University of Cambridge, Cambridge Student Law Review *...[This book] display[s] an impressive commitment to a multi-disciplinary approach which embraces law, financial economics, and politics, plus frequent checks on empirical evidence, when available. * Ron Weir, University of York, Economic History Review 62.4 *An invaluable source of thought for anyone involved with the basic assumptions of company law * Wolf-Georg Ringe, European Business Organisation Law Review *Table of ContentsPreface ; Table of Cases ; Table of Legislation ; Chapter One: Setting the Scene ; Chapter Two: The Determinants of Ownnership and Control: Current Theories ; Chapter Three: The Sell Side ; Chapter Four: The Buy Side ; Chapter Five: Up to 1880 ; Chapter Six: 1880 - 1914 ; Chapter Seven: The Separation of Ownership and Control by 1914 ; Chapter Eight: 1914 - 1939 ; Chapter Nine: 1940 - 1990: The Sell Side ; Chapter Ten: 1940 - 1990: The Buy Side ; Chapter Eleven: Challenges to the UK System of Ownership and Control ; Index

Book SynopsisIn 2012, after Gerard Comeau had driven to Quebec to purchase cheaper beer and crossed back into New Brunswick, police officers tailed and detained him, confiscated his haul, and levied a fine. With Comeau’s story as his starting point, Ryan Manucha tells the fascinating tale of Canadian interprovincial trade.Trade Review“With Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-ups, Ryan Manucha helps explain the history of the internal trade barriers that have led to … head-scratching disparities. Manucha finds a would-be ‘trade-barrier dragon-slayer’ in Gerard Comeau, who in 2013 Was fined for bringing 49 bottles of beer and three bottles of liquor into New Brunswick from Quebec.” Literary Review of Canada“In Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups, Ryan Manucha brilliantly and accessibly writes about the difficult and often bizarre evolution of interprovincial trade in Canada. For decades, politicians and courts have grappled with this issue, often with unsatisfactory results. This important new book gives readers the history of something that is truly (and unfortunately) Canadian — why it is sometimes easier to import something from another country than it is to “import” something from another province.” 2023 Balsillie Prize for Public Policy Jury (Samantha Nutt, Taki Sarantakis, and Scott Young)“Canada’s economy has been hampered by interprovincial trade barriers for decades, … [Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups] sees reasons for hope the provinces can find more common ground.” Director Journal

MIT Press Ltd Greening through Trade How American Trade Policy
Book SynopsisHow the environmental provisions in US preferential trade agreements affect both the environmental policies of trading partners and the effectiveness of multilateral environmental agreements.As trade negotiations within the World Trade Organization seem permanently stalled, countries turn increasingly to preferential trade agreements (PTAs) between smaller groups of nations. Many of these PTAs incorporate environmental provisions, some of which require trading partners to enact new domestic environmental laws, and use the enforcement mechanisms available within trade agreements as tools for environmental protection. In Greening through Trade, Sikina Jinnah and Jean-Frédéric Morin provide the first detailed examination of how the environmental provisions in US preferential trade agreements affect both the environmental policies of trading partners and the effectiveness of multilateral environmental agreements.

Rlpg/Galleys One World Currency
Book SynopsisOne World Currency presents a serious study about the need for a single stable currency with timely, historical references and skillful economic analysis by noted economist José Rafael Abinader. This book describes how a global and universally accepted currency will lead to economic stability throughout the world as well as the means for the design, implementation, and administration for such a currency. In order to support his proposal, Abinader examines the competition between the so-called main world currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Euro, how competition leads to instability in developed and developing nations.Trade ReviewThis book will cause much debate and controversy because it constitutes a significant contribution to a hot topic today in which several countries, in order to promote exportations in an unacceptable competition, have devalued their currencies. -- Roberto Saladin, economist, former Dominican ambassador in Washington, former governor of the Central Bank of the Dominican RepublicThe reflection of this book is interesting and provides a valuable discussion of the Global Monetary Crisis (UNDP). -- Miguel Ceara Hatton, former director of the Office for Human Development of the United Nations Program for DevelopmentOne World Currency: The Globe is a significant contribution to the study of international economics. It is a multi-dimensional appraisal of the prospects for an international monetary union. Within the context of the Eurozone experiences, the book’s proposal for an international currency is timely. It merits serious considerations. -- Shaw J.

Cornell University Press Women and the Birth of Russian Capitalism
Book SynopsisBy the mid-1990s, shuttle trade - a practice in which individual peddlers travel abroad and then return with foreign merchandise in their suitcases for resale-constituted the backbone of Russian consumer trade and was a substantial source of revenue. This book assesses the reasons why women were attracted to this business.Trade ReviewThis book is a valuable work in the field and fills an existing scientific void on the subject.... The author artfully connects international and national contexts and assesses the links between an economic transformation and a social shift. The book is also a meaningful testimony of an important period of Russian history. * Europe-Asia Studies *This volume is an important addition to student reading lists on socioeconomic and political change of the 1980s and 1990s, and on gender studies.

Haymarket Books Unravelling the Social Formation: Free Trade, the
Book SynopsisIn Unravelling the Social Formation: Free Trade, the State and Business Associations in Turkey, Akif Avci examines the role of business associations and the state in Turkey in analysing the dialectical relationship between global free trade and Turkish social formation since 2002. The manuscript constructs three-levels of analysis based on the social relations of production, forms of state and world order. It explores the class characteristics of the business associations, the role of the Turkish state in the process of integration into global capitalism, and at the same time, internalisation of the global class relations inside Turkey. It offers a fresh neo-Gramscian evaluation of theories of imperialism, and of the uneven and combined development (U&CD) framework for understanding social formation.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Acknowledgements List of Figures and Tables Abbreviations Introduction On the Political Economy of Turkey 1 The New Phase of Imperialism and Uneven and Combined Development 1 Free Trade/Transnationalisation of Production and the Role of the State 2 Internationalisation of the State and Its Internal Functions 3 Conclusion 2 A Historical Materialist Analysis of Capitalism in Turkey 1 The Making of Capitalism in Turkey: The Defining Role of Uneven and Combined Development 2 Industrial Capital Accumulation Based on the isi Model until the 1980s 3 Transition to Neoliberalism: Integration into Free Trade and the Changing Role of the State 4 Transnationalisation of Productive Capital and the akp 5 Regional Expansion of Turkish Capital through Free Trade Agreements 6 The Role of the State in the Expansion of the Base of Production 7 Conclusion 3 The Formation of tnc, Global Free Trade, tusiad and the State 1 The Social Formation in Turkey and the Development of tusiad 2 The Class Characteristics of tusiad Affiliates 3 tusiad and Power Bloc: The Internal Relations between tusiad and the akp 4 The Shift in Global Free Trade and the Uneven Trajectory of tnc in Turkey 5 Conclusion 4 musiad, the State and Global Integration 1 The Emergence of musiad and the Social Formation in Turkey 2 A Class Based Analysis of musiad 3 Different Capital Fractions within musiad 4 Configurations of Relations in the Power Bloc 5 Reorganising the Power Bloc through Public Administration 6 Contradictions at the State Level 7 The Defining Role of Uneven and Combined Development 8 Conclusion 5 tuskon, the State and Free Trade 1 The Material Basis of tuskon 2 The Formation of the Relationship between the State and tuskon 3 The Collapse of the Relationship and 15 July Failed Coup Attempt 4 The Combination of tuskon Affiliated Companies with Global Free Trade 5 Conclusion 6 Conclusions to the Theoretical Arguments of the Book 1 From the Abstract to the Concrete: A Class-Based Analysis of Business Associations 2 Concluding Remarks: The Changing Tendencies of Free Trade and the Transformation of the State References Index
