Corporate Governance Roundtable Series

Directors: James J. Shinn, and Peter Gourevitch
October 1, 2001 - April 30, 2002

This project examined the foreign policy implications of global changes in corporate governance. Is capital market integration inducing global convergence on the so-called Anglo-American model of minority investor protections? What explains the variation in response to convergence among countries and between institutional practices? Who are the winners and losers from governance reforms, what types of resistance does this provoke, and what is the role of foreign governments in molding governance changes? Above all, what are the policy implications of corporate governance change for the United States government and its regulatory agencies? Is there a role for official intervention, or should this be left to market forces?
