Regulatory show and tell: lessons from international statutory regimes

The article discusses the factors underpinning the lack of attention of the American corporate law in the international statutory regimes. According to the author, the evolution and growth of American business law has occurred with only limited and sporadic attention in the past years. It highlights the differences between the law relating to shareholder rights in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions such as Great Britain and Australia. It argues that it makes sense for the U.S. to examine how international jurisdictions address common problems in corporate regulation when there is a growing skepticism about the influence of the competition for corporate charters across the country.
