On the other hand, advocates of the counterhypothesis maintain that this development is both unrealistic and unnecessary. Mathias Siems examines the company law of the UK, the USA, Germany, France, Japan and China to see how this issue affects shareholder law. The author subsequently analyses economic and political factors which may or may not lead to convergence, and assesses the extent of this development. Convergence of Shareholder Law not only provides a thorough comparative legal analysis but also shows how company law interconnects with political forces and economic development and helps in evaluating whether harmonisation and shareholder protection should be enhanced.International corporate law and financial market regulation.StockholdersLegal status, laws, etcStockholdersLegal status, laws, etcPolitical aspectsStockholdersLegal status, laws, etcEconomic aspectsStock ownershipLaw and legislationLawInternational unificationStockholdersLegal status, laws, etc.StockholdersLegal status, laws, etc.Political aspects.StockholdersLegal status, laws, etc.Economic aspects.Stock ownershipLaw and legislation.LawInternational unification.346.0666Siems Mathias M.1974-1669044MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813040603321Convergence in shareholder law4030071UNINA
