There is no doubt that the idea of voluntary compliance with good corporate governance practices, based on the principle of ?comply or explain?, has captured the imagination of the world. It is probably one of the best and most comprehensive examples of ?self-regulation? ever seen in any area where the society could be affected significantly, for current purposes by corporations. However, is this the most effective way of ensuring that corporations act responsibly and adhere to good corporate governance principles? Have these Codes really improved corporate governance practices significantly? Is it time for a rethink and, at least in certain areas, start to rely more on ?hard law? and clearer expectations to ensure compliance? All these issues are addressed in the book. 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aCorporate Social Responsibility$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aCorporate Social Responsibility. 676 $a340.9 676 $a340.2 702 $adu Plessis$b Jean J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLow$b Chee Keong$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255270603321 996 $aCorporate Governance Codes for the 21st Century$92065549 997 $aUNINA
