Reviews
The chapters in this book are timely, ambitious, relevant, refreshing and offer insights on the limitations of the dominant model of corporate governance, while proposing imaginative approaches for reform. * Amon Chizema, Political Quarterly * Corporate Governance in Contention is highly recommended reading for anyone, whether a novice student or seasoned academic, who is interested in this important topic What is fascinating when reading all of the chapters in tandem with each other is that one does gain a richer understanding of why the corporate governance agenda as currently structured is on the wrong track and of what kind measures need to be adopted to put it on the right one. * Photis Lysandrou, LSE Review of Books *
