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.
