Corporate Governance. An International Review

Volume 31. Number 3. May 2005

Japan and Germany are often seen deviating from an economic model of shareholder control and thereby as being similar by virtue of their mutual contrast with the U.S. Given the common challenges for bank-based and shareholder-oriented models of corporate governance, Germany-Japan comparison seems particularly timely. This Special Issue provides an overview on recent developments in corporate law reform, banking and finance, and employment issues with respect to corporate governance in Japan and Germany.
