The Globalization of Corporate Governance
The process of economic globalization, as product and capital markets have become increasingly integrated since WWII, has placed huge, and it is argued by some, irresistible pressures on the world's 'insider' stakeholder oriented corporate governance systems. Insider corporate governance systems in countries such as Germany, so the argument goes, should converge or be transformed by global product and capital market pressures to the 'superior' shareholder oriented 'outsider' corporate governance model prevalent in the UK and the US. What these pressures from globalization are, how they manifest themselves, whether they are likely to cause such a convergence/transformation and whether these pressures will continue, lie at the heart of the exploration in this volume. The Globalization of Corporate Governance provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the key corporate governance systems in the UK, the US and Germany from the perspective of the development of economic globalization. As such it is a valuable resource for those interested in how economic and legal reforms interact to produce change within corporate governance systems.
Life Without Oil and Other Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels are today essential for modern society: our transport systems and electricity production are largely dependent on this finite resource. Projections based on current consumption say that we could run out of oil shortly after the middle of this century. This and the growing problem of global warming mean that we need to take action now. We can's go on burning fossil fuels for ever. This book examines the alternatives and shows us that it is quite possible to generate electricity and run transport without fossil fuels, helping us secure the future of our planet.
