The following chapters are available in the ECGI Working Paper Series:

The second edition of this leading Handbook continues to provide a holistic view of scholarship from the core principles of corporate law to contemporary issues in governance through a comparative and interdisciplinary lens.

The field has developed considerably in the last decade, and this edition captures those changes in addition to providing a guide to emerging questions and future research agendas. Among other aspects, the new edition reflects the push to reconsider corporate 'purpose' in light of new stakeholder-centred views of capitalism and considers matters of corporate governance related to the global efforts to curb climate change. As a result, there are several new chapters covering green corporate governance, corporate purpose and stakeholder orientation, digitalization, common ownership, institutional investor stewardship, the rise of dual-class shares (not only) in tech firms, national security implications in cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and diversity in corporate governance.

Written by leading scholars from around the world, the Handbook contains a rich variety of perspectives and topics. It opens with the central theoretical approaches and methodologies in corporate law scholarship in Part I, before examining core substantive topics in corporate law, including shareholder rights, takeovers and restructuring, and minority rights in Part II. Part III focuses on new challenges in the field, including conflicts between Western and Asian corporate governance environments, the rise of foreign ownership, and emerging markets. Enforcement issues are covered in Part IV, and Part V takes a broader approach, examining those areas of law and finance that are interwoven with corporate governance, including insolvency, taxation, and securities law as well as financial regulation.

The Handbook is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary resource placing corporate law and governance in its wider context and is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the field.
