The Anglo-American model of corporate governance is widely adopted across the world, but it is important to note that no two countries follow it exactly. In developing and emerging economies, the outcomes of corporate governance often differ from theoretical predictions due to a multitude of factors. To better understand these deviations, Corporate Governance in Developing and Emerging Markets employs insights from New Institutional Economics. This comprehensive text is divided into three parts, each exploring different models of corporate governance, examining the realities of corporate governance in ten nations, including the 'BRICS' (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and 'MINT' (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey) countries, and considering corporate governance reform.

This interdisciplinary text is designed to be a valuable resource for students studying corporate governance across Business, Economics, and Law. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the issues and cultural and legal factors that influence corporate governance in these economies. Additionally, it is useful for professionals working in or conducting research in the field of corporate governance.

In conclusion, Corporate Governance in Developing and Emerging Markets offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the challenges and opportunities facing corporate governance in these economies. By leveraging insights from New Institutional Economics, it provides a valuable framework for understanding and addressing the unique issues that arise in these contexts.
