Lance Ang ’13 awarded ICGRG Routledge Prize for Best Paper

Lance Ang ’13 was awarded the ICGRG Routledge Prize for the best paper submitted by a delegate at the International Conference on Unpacking the Complexity of Regulatory Governance in a Globalising World. The conference attracted over 200 delegates from 31 countries and was hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and supported by the European Consortium for Political Research Standing Group on Regulatory Governance, the leading forum for research on regulations and regulatory governance in Europe. A Research Associate at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies (CALS) at NUS Law, Lance was invited to present his paper titled ‘Capitalist Variations in “Say on Pay”: A Look at Regulatory Governance in Singapore and Hong Kong’, which examines the institutions of political economy and how they may explain variances in the legal regulation of executive remuneration in corporate governance amongst jurisdictions, including Singapore and Hong Kong.

As the leading international forum for research on regulations and regulatory governance, the conference had an open and competitive call for abstracts (not subject to any cap in seniority) and gathered together both senior and junior scholars from both Asia and the West to explore complex issues on regulatory governance with the aim to build a global network to meet the demands and challenges of globalising research on regulatory governance. Applicants were shortlisted based on a double-blind peer review of their abstracts and invited to submit full length papers. As the prize recipient for the best paper submitted, Lance received a generous book prize from Routledge and had the pleasure and privilege as a delegate of interacting with new colleagues and engaging in robust discussions with distinguished scholars. Lance is grateful to CALS for its support and funding and in particular Associate Professor Dan Puchniak (NUS Law) for his mentorship.
