~ENG~This volume offers a broad comparative analysis of foundational company law topics in Germany, China, Japan and South Korea. It examines issues of directors’ liability and capital maintenance and analyses the role of shareholders in public companies as well as the regulation of groups of companies in these four jurisdictions.


This volume is based on presentations delivered at a symposium held in May 2015 at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg. It seeks to reinvigorate the scholarly exchange which can be traced back to the late 19th century between company law academics in Germany, China, Japan and South Korea. Contributions from all four jurisdictions include papers on directors’ liability and capital maintenance as well as studies of the role of shareholders in public companies and the regulation of groups of companies.
