Investor Protection in the CIS: Legal Reform and Voluntary Harmonization (Law in Eastern Europe)

The book examines the legal regime for protection of company shareholders in the CIS. The focus is on important aspects of domestic legal reform in the twelve CIS countries, but also on the contribution of CIS model legislation to this process. "Building on the extensive interest in company law and corporate governance development in post-communist transformation, this book examines the legal regime for protection of company investors in the CIS. The different contributions focus on issues such as basic shareholder rights, shareholder rights in special circumstances, cumulative voting, and protection through securities markets regulation. The discussion centers on the problems of domestic legal reform and the extent to which international legal standards and best practice are reflected in the process. In doing so, it offers a thorough comparative law analysis covering all twelve CIS countries. Importantly, the book accords a special place to the contribution that the model legislation adopted within the CIS framework makes to the process of legal reform and voluntary legal harmonization."--BOOK JACKET Rilka Dragneva Rilka Dragneva -- Rilka Dragneva Rilka Dragneva -- Rilka Dragneva -- Gregory F.
