Shareholder Claims in International Law [Minervini Gustavo - Giappichelli]

The monograph Shareholder Claims in International Law aims to fill a gap in recent scholarship by ascertaining the fast-changing regime concerning the protection of shareholders in the international legal order through a wide-ranging analysis. After introducing the reader to the complex relationship between corporations and their shareholders, the book traces back the origins of the international law framework moving from a significant number of domestic legal systems, where a common regulation of shareholder claims is to be found. Having done so, the book examines the rules applicable under general international law, international human rights law and international investment law. The book Shareholder Claims in International Law appeals to scholars and policymakers, who are offered some prospective considerations on the regulation of shareholder claims. Similarly, judges, arbitrators and legal counsels dealing with corporate law matters – including business restructuring and litigation – under international law will find it a useful reference.
