Cambridge Handbook of Corporate Law, Corporate Governance and Sustainability
Call For Papers

This Call for Papers invites contributions to the Cambridge Handbook of Corporate Law, Corporate Governance and Sustainability. Those tentatively selected to contribute will be invited to a Cambridge Handbook Symposium in Oslo on 12-14 March 2018, with draft chapters to be submitted to the editors beforehand. Participation at the Symposium is not a condition to contribute to the Handbook but it is strongly encouraged. The Symposium is expected to enhance the quality of the contributions, reinforce the cohesive nature of the volume, and contribute to the timeliness of the manuscript.

The Handbook will be edited by Professor Beate Sjafjell, University of Oslo, and Professor Christopher Bruner, University of Georgia School of Law (effective Fall 2017). Final confirmation of contributions for the Handbook will be contingent on review of the chapters and will be decided by the editors.

STATE-OF-THE-ART OF EMERGING FIELD: The aim of the Handbook is to present the state-of-the-art of the emerging field of corporate law, corporate governance and sustainability. It will provide an in-depth analysis of the key issues in this field in a comprehensive and cohesive manner. The Handbook will concentrate on regulatory approaches to corporate law, corporate governance and sustainability. Other approaches and disciplines will be drawn upon to cast light on the legal analysis.
