This volume is the first comprehensive study of the Americanization of German corporate law from the 19th century to the present day. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches, Jan von Hein analyzes the reasons for widespread legal transplants in corporate law as well as their economic, political and legal foundations. The common theme underlying the permanent state of corporate law reform in Germany is a re-focusing of national corporate law on the goal of informational efficiency in a globalized capital market.
The work was awarded the Hochschulpreis des deutschen Aktieninstituts 2008.
