How shareholder reforms can pay foreign policy dividends

"This paper from the Council on Foreign Relations argues that U.S. Foreign policymakers must seize the opportunity to accelerate the pace of corporate governance reform. The United States should receive full disclosure of institutional investors' corporate governance policies, encourage the convergence of differing accounting standards, expand official support for an international corporate governance standard, endorse regulatory changes that promote contests for control of publicly traded firms, and place responsibility for corporate governance policy at a senior level in Washington."--BOOK JACKET.
