Review

'In this book, a group of eminent scholars bring takeovers back to the forefront of corporate governance debate. The book examines M&A from a range of perspectives -- historical, economic, legal, transactional and comparative. It pays particular attention to how legal doctrine affects M&A deals in the real world, and assesses the impact of contemporary developments, such as the rise of shareholder activism. Highly recommended for all those interested in corporate governance generally, and M&A in particular.' -- Jennifer Hill, The University of Sydney, Australia
