Despite the influence corporations wield over all aspects of
everyday life, there has been a remarkable absence of critical
inquiry into the social constitution of this power. In analysing
the complex relationship between corporate power and the widespread
phenomenon of share ownership, this book seeks to map and define
the nature of resistance and domination in contemporary
capitalism.
Drawing on a Marxist-informed framework, this book reconnects
the social constitution of corporate power and changing forms of
shareholder activism. In contrast to other texts that deal with
corporate governance, this study examines a diverse and
comprehensive set of themes, from socially responsible investing to
labour-led shareholder activism and its limitations. Through this
ambitious and critical study, author Susanne Soederberg
demonstrates how the corporate governance doctrine represents an
inherent feature of neoliberal rule, effectively disembedding and
depoliticising relations of domination and resistance from the
wider power and paradoxes of capitalism.
Examining corporate governance and shareholder activism in a
number of different contexts that include the United States and the
global South, this important book will be of interest to students
and scholars of international political economy, international
relations and development studies. It will also be of relevance to
a wider range of disciplines including finance, economics, and
business and management studies.
