This study provides a fascinating, fresh analysis of the virtues of
shareholder participation in the context of contemporary corporate
governance. By applying recent empirical studies to human
happiness, McConvill convincingly argues that shareholders,
particularly individuals, should be included in the internal
governance framework of public corporations and enjoy a direct
participatory role in the corporation if they so choose. Recent
studies have consistently shown that active participation is one of
a limited number of factors that has a positive correlation with
levels of personal happiness, however while disciplines within the
social sciences have long considered the implications of these
findings, legal scholars have failed to grasp their significance.
Shareholder Participation and the Corporation addresses the dearth
of literature currently available by exploring and evaluating the
implications of empirical happiness studies in relation to
corporate law and governance, focusing specifically on the role of
the shareholder. It provides a compelling argument for those
seeking to analyze shareholder participation in a different light.

The importance of the international maritime transport industry is
difficult to overstate. This new book presents an interdisciplinary
approach from a wide range of internationally-based experts.
"International Maritime Transport "represents a radical departure
from previous works in its structure and approach. The section
editors each discuss the state of the art in the opening chapter,
before introducing a selection of works providing a wide-ranging
analysis of the subject. Wide discretion of approach has provided
literary freedom for individual opinion and analysis within the
overall framework: this permits a level of innovation which is
perhaps stifled by the more standardized model. Whilst each
perspective can be seen as exclusive, together they form a
comprehensive volume of issues in contemporary maritime transport.
Topics covered include: ports as interfaces; logistics; manpower
and skills; financial risk and opportunities; the regulatory
framework. Each chaptercontains an introduction which explains the
context of the chapter within the book and the contemporary state
of the art. Under the editorship of maritime experts James
McConville, Alfonso Morvillo and Heather Leggate, the book is sure
to be of interest to students and academics working on maritime
studies, as well as being useful to professionals and policy makers
in the maritime industry.
