This book involves scrutiny of the doctrine of legal transplants – corporate governance transplants, in particular. It focuses on the viability of Western corporate governance transplants to certain South Asian countries. It specifically sheds light on the corporate governance regimes in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan as transplanted from the West. It questions the feasibility, robustness, resilience, and congruity of the regimes in light of their local conditions, values, norms, culture, and ideology among others. The book examines the challenges facing soft law approach to corporate governance, while analysing the effectiveness of this approach in the context of developing countries. It assesses whether a regulatory, hard law, or a hybrid approach is more appropriate for developing countries as opposed to the principles-based regime in the UK. It recommends innovative and practicable reform proposals to enhance the transplanted legal frameworks.

These analyses are joined by a picture of past financial crises – which reveals interesting patterns – and then analyses of arch...

Over recent decades corporate governance has developed an increasingly high profile in legal scholarship and practice, especially in the US and UK. But despite widespread interest, there remains considerable uncertainty about how exactly corporate governance should be defined and understood. In this important work, Marc Moore critically analyses the core dimensions of corporate governance law in these two countries, seeking to determine the fundamental nature of corporate governance as a subject of legal enquiry. In particular, Moore examines whether Anglo-American corporate governance is most appropriately understood as an aspect of 'private' (facilitative) law, or as a part of 'public' (re...
Virtually all large banks and other financial institutions in the UK and internationally are public limited liability companies whose shares are listed on one or several stock exchanges. As such, their corporate governance and, in particular, the incentives faced by their directors and senior managers are to a significant extent determined by corporate and securities law rules such as directors’ duties, directors’ liability in insolvency, takeover regulation, disclosure obligations, shareholder rights and rules on executive remuneration. At the same time, systemically important financial institutions in the UK are licensed, regulated and supervised by the Prudential Regulation Authority ...
