Corporate Governance is an area that has grown rapidly in the last years fuelled by high profile corporate collapses such as Enron. This is a brand new student focused text, which takes an international approach to corporate governance. Well written and easy to engage with, building on a sound theoretical base the book encompasses the latest developments in corporate governance in an international context. Much of the material is centered on the UK, however there are separate chapters covering developments in continental European countries, central and eastern European countries, South East Asia and various other countries giving it truly international appeal. The text will help students understand the context in which corporate governance develops by examining the legal structure and capital market throughout each chapter. Suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students studying a module in Corporate Governance, the book stimulates student interest by drawing from a range of empirical practitioner and academic research. The text contains excellent pedagogical features including topical case studies, thought provoking questions and exercises, useful chapter summaries and introductions and helpful web links.

'This book is a major advancement in the area of complexity and corporate governance. By bringing together a range of leading experts in the fields of complexity and corporate governance, this book manages to knowledgeably wed the emerging field of complex systems thinking with the more established area of corporate governance. It brings a range of new and exciting concepts, such as emergence, co-evolution and self-organisation, and integrates them into an overarching and holistic understanding of corporate governance that is a clear benefit to corporate actors and stakeholders. The book is a major resource for both academic and practitioner audiences.' - Robert Geyer, Lancaster University, UK`Corporations are usually perceived through the lens of traditional disciplines as creatures of law or as economic agents. The absence of a single language of accountability has been unsatisfactory to the point of contributing to the seeming endemic failures of corporate governance. Corporate Governance and Complexity Theory is a hugely important step forward in introducing a new way of thinking about the impact of corporate power. Its concluding words tell it all. ''The holistic approach adopted by complexity theory consists of looking at all related entities, or in this case all corporate governance actors, that interact and influence each other, within the entire corporate governance environment or corporate governance social ecosystem''. The theory also offers a new interpretation of corporate governance, and thus provides some novel insights. The book is well written, helpfully organized and jargon free. It is exciting in concept and execution. You will enjoy it.' - Robert Monks, Lens Governance Advisors
