'Over the past quarter century, corporate governance has emerged as a leading policy issue and a major field of academic inquiry. Corporate governance reform continues apace around the world - nowhere with more fervor than in Asia. Corporate Governance in Asia: A Comparative Approach provides a comprehensive introduction to Asia's widely varying corporate governance systems, informed by theory and analysis developed over time in global scholarly debates.' Curtis J. Milhaupt, Stanford University Law School, California 'This book is remarkable for three reasons: first, it gives a highly informative introduction to the corporate governance practice in eight Asian countries (Australia, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan). Second, it is an excellent textbook for students and professors. Third, it puts the experiences of these countries into the perspective of general corporate governance theory and shows that, while both, the US and UK models and the German and European models, have had their impact, corporate governance in Asia is multifaceted. A book to be read.' Klaus J. Hopt, Max-Planck-Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Germany
