Reviews

Review from previous edition This book provides a wonderful comparative literature review and, as such, would be of great use in graduate seminars on the topic of worldwide governance practices... Overall, this is an excellent comprehensive text that draws together a tremendous amount of information and observation about world governance, and offers great insights into current world governance practices. The book should be of interest to any scholar interested in international governance and how governance systems worldwide are evolving.
*Corporate Governance: An International Review*

A very timely book... an important contribution.
*British Journal of Industrial Relations*

An excellent source for anyone who wants a better understanding of the rich complexities of governance and labour management...
