CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND RUSSIA

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN CENTRAL EUROPE AND RUSSIA
Edited by Roman Frydman, Cheryl W Gray, and Andrzej Rapaczynski
The studies in this two-volume work shed new light on the range and viability of the emerging corporate governance institutions in the transitional economies of Central Europe and Russia. While ownership reform was one of the earliest axioms of postcommunist transition, countries adopted many contrasting approaches to privatization that had profound implications for the structure of corporate ownership and governance. In these volumes, regional specialists and experts on corporate governance in advanced economies examine the emerging forms of ownership and complementary monitoring institutions in leading transition countries. The studies in the first volume concentrate on the creation of new governance systems, covering such financial institutions as banks, private pension funds, and privatization investment funds, as well as foreign investors. Those in the second volume focus on the more spontaneous development of existing institutions and management practices. They discuss the present scene and possible evolution of employee, managerial, interfirm, and residual state ownership. The final paper looks at the role and design of corporate law. Written by distinguished economists, legal experts, and sociologists, these two volumes together present a timely and thought-provoking overview of emerging corporate governance institutions in the unique setting of the transitional economies of Central Europe and Russia.
