CORPORATE GOVERNANCE,
REGULATION AND POLITICS
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.
This website serves as a platform for a research project on the relationships between corporate regulation, market structures and politics. The research is focused on EU corporate governance regulation, concentrated ownership, state ownership and Nordic corporate governance.
