CORPORATE GOVERNANCE,
REGULATION AND POLITICS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The relationships among corporate constituencies are highly significant as regards control of corporate assets and profits; the legal, economic and political aspects of these relationships  all contribute to  corporate governance.

REGULATION

Corporate governance and securities laws are highly interconnected as regards  publicly listed corporations. In this sense, financial regulation forms an avenue for intervention in corporate governance relationships, and the market for regulation can be used as a yardstick for assessing the relative bargaining power of corporate constituencies.

 

POLITICS

Regulation in general provides an avenue for corporate constituencies to bargain about corporate control and corporate profits. The political economy defines the framework for feasible governance solutions, while the broader political environment introduces further interest groups with a stake in corporate governance.
