Summary:

Arising from the Second Oxford Law Colloquium held in 1992, this volume addresses a topic that is highly topical but has a long intellectual pedigree. Since the formation of the joint stock company there has been continuing debate as to the structure of corporate governance and the controls, both legal and institutional, that are, or should be, exercised over corporate management. The volume provides a broad picture of what is currently happening in this debate in the U.K. and beyond.
