The 2008-9 financial crisis raises numerous questions concerning corporate governance around the world, whether from direct changes imposed by reform legislation or whether from lending greater
urgency concerning more longstanding issues and controversies. Twelve papers, presented by Vasudev (U. of Ottawa, Canada) and Watson (U. of Auckland Business School, New Zealand), explore these
issues, addressing: the debate in corporate law over whether directors should consider the interests of shareholders vs. stakeholders, the role of private remedy in corporate law for preventing
a financial crisis and its limits, globalization and its impact on corporate governance in Taiwan and Malaysia, and recent developments in business ethics and corporate responsibility.
