Twenty-one chapters, presented by Clarke (management, U. of Technology Sydney, Australia) and Chanlat (management, U. of Paris IX Dauphine, France), explore recent developments and debates in
the realm of European corporate governance. The varieties of Latin, Germanic, and Anglo-American systems are reviewed; the question of whether corporate governance in Europe is experiencing
convergence or divergence is considered; recent reforms and transformations are described, with a number of papers exploring the impact of the Anglo-American practice of shareholder value on
non-Anglo-American systems; and the questions of executive compensation and power are explored. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
