Company Law in China - Regulation of Business Organizations in a Socialist Market Economy (Paperback)

Wang Jiang Yu approaches corporate law from a development and political economic perspective, while also giving a detailed analysis of what the law is. Better analyses of US corporate law have studied agency problems and strategically viable responses within the firm, while good studies of EU company law have also factored in questions of harmonization and regulatory arbitrage among jurisdictions. Wang provides us with what might become the leading paradigm for studies on Chinese corporate law: an understanding of how Western corporation forms have been employed and adjusted in China to meet the development agenda of the Chinese government and how this law is evolving in response to the state of the Chinese economy and the periodically adjusted positions of government planners' - David Donald, Professor, Faculty of Law, The Chinese University of Hong KongThis accessible book offers a comprehensive and critical introduction to the law on business organizations in the People's Republic of China.
