Chris Mallin has assembled a collection of delightful essays describing the current circumstances of corporate governance in a variety of different countries. The volume reads like a story, fascinating accessible and informative. The book can be read for information in each article or as a totality giving insight into the critical balancing of interests required in particular countries.
