BOOKS

Global Corporate Governance by Donald Chew (Editor); Stuart Gillan (Editor) Effective corporate governance, or the set of controls and incentives that drive top management, originates both outside and inside the firm and assures investors who hope to commit their capital. Essential when buying stocks in one's own country, effective corporate governance is even more important abroad, where information can be less reliable and investor influence (or protection) more limited. In this collection of articles from the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, more than thirty leading scholars and practitioners discuss the possibilities and limitations of global corporate finance and governance systems, whether in Europe and North America or in the emerging markets of Israel, India, Korea, and South Africa. Essays discuss the political roots of American corporate finance; the structural and financial variations between international corporations; control premiums and the effectiveness of corporate governance systems; debt, folklore, and cross-country differences in financial structures; the driving forces behind the East Asian Financial Crisis of 1997; corporate ownership and control in India, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom; financial and economic lessons of Italy's privatization program; changes in Korean corporate governance; sovereign wealth funds; and the new organization of Canadian business trusts. A special roundtable discussion addresses shareholder activism in the U.K.

Risk Management and Corporate Governance by Tassos Malliaris (Editor); Abol Jalilvand (Editor) The asymmetry of responsibilities between management and corporate governance both for day-to-day operations and the board's monthly or quarterly review and evaluation remains an unresolved challenge. Expertise in the area of risk management is a fundamental requirement for effective corporate governance, if not by all, certainly by some board members. This means that along with board committees such as "compensation", "audit", "strategy" and several others, "risk management" committees must be established to monitor the likelihood of certain events that may cause the collapse of the firm. Risk Management and Corporate Governance allows academics and practitioners to assess the state of international research in risk management and corporate governance. The chapters overlay the areas of risk management and corporate governance on both financial and operating decisions of a firm while treating legal and political environments as externalities to decisions undertaken.

JOURNAL ARTICLES

Corporate Governance Systems: Corporate Governance in Asia: A Comparative Approach ( New York and Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2019 ) pp 434. Paperback: $34.53.
Several excerpts of articles show the preferred position of controlling shareholders (often based on families) and the resistance to egalitarian notions of corporate governance viewed as the gold standard in the US and other Western countries. The book is aimed at several audiences: scholars and students of corporate law, scholars and students of the law of individual countries, and lawyers who are looking for practical information about doing business in particular countries. Singapore, the author of that chapter writes, “turns the conventional wisdom of the Anglo-American model for ‘good’ corporate governance on its head.”
