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. 410 0$aInternational corporate law and financial market regulation. 606 $aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc 606 $aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc$xPolitical aspects 606 $aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc$xEconomic aspects 606 $aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation 606 $aLaw$xInternational unification 615 0$aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aStockholders$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aLaw$xInternational unification. 676 $a346.0666 700 $aSiems$b Mathias M.$f1974-$01669044 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813040603321 996 $aConvergence in shareholder law$94030071 997 $aUNINA
