This book on Corporate Governance is an attempt to learn from confrontation. In the pages that follow, we confront different intellectual approaches to private government with each other for the purpose of mutual enrichment. This confrontation occurs in three dimensions: first, as an exchange of diverse national experiences, notably in the form of comparative studies; second, as a debate between diverse theoretical and ideological approaches; and third, as a comparison of concepts and models developed in different disciplines, undertaken here by means of interdisciplinary cooperation. We expect that in all three dimensions this volume will contribute to the inter-national discussion on these topics. As for the exchange of different national discussion on these topics.
