Dan Puchniak’s latest book, Global Shareholder Stewardship, has been published by CUP

Global Shareholder Stewardship provides the first in-depth comparative and empirical analysis of shareholder stewardship, revealing the previously unknown complexities of this global movement. It includes an in-depth chapter on each of the twenty jurisdictions which has adopted a stewardship code and an analysis of stewardship in the world’s two largest economies which have yet to adopt a code. It has received glowing reviews from nine leading corporate law academics and practitioners who have described it as “a masterful study”, “a tour de force of comparative scholarship”, a “goldmine of information” and “essential reading for those seeking to understand the evolving pattern of global corporate governance.”

Dan co-edited the book with Dionysia Katelouzou (King’s College London), with generous support from the Centre for Asian Legal Studies and EW Barker Centre for Law & Business as well as several other external organizations, including the British Academy, the Social Research Council Social Science Impact Fund, and the Dickson Poon School of Law (KCL). Dan and Dionysia describe the book’s impact as follows: “This book project shatters the narrow, myopic, and inaccurate prior understanding of UK-centric shareholder stewardship. The result is a multi-jurisdictional, pluralistic, and truly global understanding that illuminates the complexities, challenges, and possibilities of one of the most intriguing corporate governance and financial regulatory mechanisms of our time.” They credit the success of the book to an “intellectual odyssey [that] could not have been achieved without global collaborations”. Contributions from NUS Law include authored/co-authored chapters from Ernest Lim, Lin Lin, Petrina Tan, Samantha Tang, and Umakanth Varottil. The book will be formally launched at KCL on 27 May 2022.
