Features: One of the Oxford Law Textbook Series. Most corporate law textbooks aim to categorize, summarize, and define regulations. This book, however, adopts a different approach, using economic theories and concepts to provide a conceptual framework for corporate law. This framework accomplishes two tasks. First, it helps readers gain a deeper understanding of the internal operations of companies and the impact of the legal system on corporate activities. Second, it analyzes topics of interest to those who wish to evaluate the value of government management strategies and are considering potential legal reforms. The book is divided into three parts. Part "The Theory of Corporate Law" introduces the concepts and ideas that form the theoretical foundation of the book. The second part "The Structure of Corporate Law" discusses the regulations governing the operations of government agencies that regulate and manage corporate affairs. The third part "The Operation of Corporate Law" aims to selectively discuss corporate law issues that can be topics and integrate some themes introduced in and the second part.
