Regulating the markets in which struggles over corporate control take place is deeply political, but in ways that defy political tramlines. Helen Callaghan here carefully and revealingly unpicks the complex alliances and conflicts of interest that have determined changes on this issue. In so doing she also throws important new light on general debates about the nature of markets, varieties of capitalism, and processes of policy change. * Colin Crouch, Professor emeritus, University of Warwick, and External scientific member, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies * Based on her penetrating case studies, Callaghan constructs an elegant argument that processes of marketization, no matter how they proceed in different settings, take on a self-reinforcing momentum that makes them all but unstoppable, no matter how mixed the consequences may be. * J. Nicholas Ziegler, Brown University * Callaghan provides a hugely informative, interesting and important study of marketization politics and processes. A must read for everyone working in comparative political economynot only on the corporate governance examples here, but more generally on political responses to the economic dislocations of recent decades. Excellent book! * Peter Gourevitch, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Diego *
