Comparative Corporate Governance of Non-Profit Organizations cover

Experts and practitioners from the USA and Europe discuss various aspects of comparative corporate governance for non-profit organisations.

The economic importance of the non-profit sector is growing, and, as a result, so is the interest from legal scholars, economists and politicians. Written by experts from the USA and Europe, the essays in this book form an interdisciplinary discussion focussing on aspects of comparative corporate governance for non-profit organisations.The economic importance of the non-profit sector is growing rapidly in the USA and Europe. However, the law has not kept abreast with its development. The European Court of Justice has extended certain freedoms of the EC Treaty to non-profit organisations, and more case law is expected to follow in the near future, but the observations, theories, solutions and legal and non-legal rules in this field are manifold. The chances of harmonising the law on a European level are slim. Despite these differences, a common core of international corporate governance problems and regulatory solutions can be seen. This volume of essays brings together a variety of international experts from both corporate governance and governance of non-profit organisations to compare the two areas and explore the lessons that can be learned regarding comparative corporate governance for non-profit organisations.
