De Jonge (business law and taxation, Monash U., Australia) discusses how corporations are defined and function in various common law and civil law systems. She asserts that corporations must be
held accountable for something beyond their own profitability and proliferation, and she explores how, why, and under what systems and circumstances such accountability is best achieved. The
study treats the state and the multinational corporation (the investment relationship), extra-territorial legislation and corporate liability, theory and principles for bring TNCs under the
jurisdiction of international law, institutional avenues, the environment, and the International Court of Justice as a global court of appeal. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
