Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

Corporate governance regulation has been through numerous cycles of reform and yet we still see instances of companies collapsing suddenly. Codes of corporate governance have been implemented in most developed countries recommending detailed governance frameworks for publicly listed companies and their boards but our understanding of how these codes influence behaviour is still limited. In this book Alice Klettner draws on the domains of law and business to explore the effectiveness of corporate governance codes. Using interview evidence from company directors and officers as well as published evidence of companies’ corporate governance systems she discusses the theory and practice of corporate governance and its regulation – with a focus on how corporate governance codes can affect board behaviour and company performance. This interdisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of corporate governance and will also be directly relevant to governance practitioners and policymakers. | Corporate Governance Regulation The changing roles and responsibilities of boards of directors

This intimate book explores the experiences of two psychoanalysts during the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents Angelo Antonio Moroni’s psychoanalytic diary and Pietro Roberto Goisis’s clinical diary two highly personal perspectives that explore the interplay of the personal and the psychoanalytic during a time of collective trauma. Angelo’s account written from his ‘camp tent’ examines how fundamental time-tested procedures are suddenly questioned. Roberto’s diary is the story of his own experience as a COVID patient the mutually therapeutic caring relationships he encounters and his eﬀorts to keep his analytical expertise alive and well. The two accounts share painful and graphic experiences of the trauma of the pandemic and how the authors were forced to reconsider the issues of analytical ‘asymmetry’ and ‘neutrality’. Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training and to readers with an interest in clinical and personal accounts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Besides answering the question Who joins what?

Social Revolt in Chile Triggering Factors and Possible Outcomes

This book investigates why Chile suddenly confronted a violent social revolt in October 2019 after almost thirty years of political stability during which time the country was broadly regarded as Latin America’s most successful nation. Since democratic restoration in 1990 Chile’s relatively high levels of political stability increasing prosperity and social modernisation have stood out in a region shaken by political convulsion and economic malaise. In early October 2019 President Sebastián Piñera confidently claimed that Chile represented a true ‘oasis’ of political stability and economic vitality in Latin America. However just weeks later the announcement of a small increase in the price of Santiago’s underground transport system unleashed an unprecedented wave of violent anti-government protests in the country with protestors ultimately demanding Piñera’s resignation and the end of neoliberalism and the 1980 Constitution among many other demands. This book analyses the causes of Chile’s socio-political upheaval arguing that the fast social and economic modernisation produced by the neoliberal system led to a series of destabilising socio-political processes in the country. At a time when much analysis of the October uprising tends to be superficial or polarised on ideological grounds this book provides a much-needed sociological and institutional analysis of the crisis. It will be an important read for scholars of Latin American politics and development as well as those with a broader interest in state legitimacy social movements and political contestation against neoliberalism. | Social Revolt in Chile Triggering Factors and Possible Outcomes

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

One dusty summer day in 1935 a young writer named Gennady Andreev-Khomiakov was released from the Siberian labor camp where he had spent the last eight years of his life. His total assets amounted to 25 rubles a loaf of bread five dried herrings and the papers identifying him as a convicted ?enemy of the people. ? From this hard-pressed beginning Andreev-Khomiakov would eventually work his way into a series of jobs that would allow him to travel and see more of ordinary life and work in the Soviet Union of the 1930s than most of his fellow Soviet citizens would ever have dreamed possible. Capitalizing on this rare opportunity Bitter Waters is Andreev-Khomiakov's eyewitness account of those tumultuous years a time when titanic forces were shaping the course of Russian history. Later to become a successful writer and editor in the Russiangr ommunity in the 1950s and 1960s Andreev-Khomiakov brilliantly uses this memoir to explore many aspects of Stalinist society. Forced collectivization Five Year Plans purges and the questionable achievements of ?shock worker brigades? are only part of this story. Andreev-Khomiakov exposes the Soviet economy as little more than a web of corruption a system that largely functioned through bribery barter and brute force?and that fell into temporary chaos when the German army suddenly invaded in 1941. Bitter Waters may be most valuable for what it reveals about Russian society during the tumultuous 1930s. From remote provincial centers and rural areas to the best and worst of Moscow and Leningrad Andreev-Khomiakov's series of deftly drawn sketches of people places and events provide a unique window on the hard daily lives of the people who built Stalin's Soviet Union. | Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia
