Synopsis

Traditional corporation law formulated centuries ago by an agricultural society fails to deal effectively with modern society in which business is being predominantly conducted by affiliated corporations doing business around the world. Rejecting the traditional law that would treat each affiliated company as a separate and distinct legal entity unrelated to the group of which it is an integral part, American law, and to a lesser extent European law, is responding with new decisional and statutory law focusing on the enterprise rather than on its constituent parts.
The application of legal controls to multinational enterprises has a further major dimension. National law regulating world business inevitably leads to serious international controversies over the boundaries of national jurisdiction and regulation. Multinationals challenge not only national law but the world legal order as well.
This volume comprehensively reviews the newer system of enterprise law being developed by the legal systems of the world to deal with the modern corporations and its implications for international law and foreign relations law. It concludes with the very first discussion of the jurisprudential implications of this major legal development.

Revue de presse

`His book provides a comphrensive review of major legal developments in the law of corporate groups ... This volume offers considerably more to the reader than a critical re-examination of the corporate jurisprudence ... legal practitioners should benefit from reading this title as much as academics and educators. The survey of modern company and commercial laws governing corporate groups in various jurisdictions of North America and Europe should be an excellent reference for attorneys advising such corporate groups or other companies transacting business with such groups.' International Company and Commercial Law Review

`This highly readable new book, while of great importance to lawyers and other students of corporation law, is presented in a format that is less formidable than many legal texts.' Journal of International Banking Law

`The real strength of The Multinational Challenge to Corporation Law is the historical perspective it brings to the discussions of both the development of corporation law, and the development of the law relating to corporate groups, in the United States of America ... It will surely be a fruitful area of research in the future to examine how legal systems react to these challenges.' The Modern Law Review
