Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Political Economy of the Company by Edited by John Parkinson Edited by Andrew Gamble Edited by Gavin Kelly
Theoretical writing on the company and company law has been dominated in recent years by economics. This collection of essays by a distinguished team of authors drawn from a variety of disciplines seeks to build on the insights of this economic analysis and broaden understanding by examining the company in a wider historicallegal political and sociological context. Issues discussed include the attitudes of political parties in the UK to the company the rise of the non-executive director institutional activism and stakeholder protection and the evolution of the nexus of contracts theory of the company. There is also a strong comparative theme with discussions of the political and sociological context of corporate governance in France Germany and Japan together with developments at the European level.show more
