The Enron collapse and other recent corporate scandals, as well as growing worries in Europe about the rise of Anglo-Saxon finance, have made issues of corporate governance the subject of political controversies and of public debate. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors argue that the regulation of corporate governance is an inherently political affair. Given the context of the deepening globalization of the corporate world, it is also increasingly a transnational phenomenon. In terms of the content of regulation the book shows an increasing reliance on the application of market mechanisms and a tendency for corporations themselves to become commodities. The emerging new mode of regulation is characterized by increasing informalization and by forms of private regulation. These changes in content and mode are driven by transnational actors, first of all the owners of internationally mobile financial capital and their functionaries such as coordination service firms, as well as by key public international agencies such as the European Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Transnational Politics of Corporate Governance Regulation\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to students and researchers of international political economy, politics, economics and corporate governance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henk Overbeek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415599431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415599436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Henk Overbeek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443467792639,"sku":"9780415599436","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91afbba0-ceb4-4523-a2fd-51f8f2b9c9b4.jpg?v=1777205728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-transnational-politics-of-corporate-henk-overbeek-9780415599436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
