OverviewThe advancement of women on corporate boards is an oft-discussed social issue in many countries. Little existing scholarship, however, compares the nature of legal and regulatory initiatives across international jurisdictions. Similarly, although there is a plethora of research into the potential economic benefits of increasing the mumber of women on corporate boards, almost none of the academic literature explicitly considers the nature of the arguments used to support measures to further this goal. This thesis addresses such shortcomings by examining common threads in the arguments around gender diversity on corporate boards and applying doctrinal analysis to characterise the existing (and some proposed) legal and regulatory initiatives that have sought to address the issue. This forms the basis of an exploration of the relationship between the discourses that frame the debate regarding women on corporate boards and the various policy interventions introduced to advance that goal. The thesis uses case studies to trace the relationship between discourse and policy in four countries: Norway, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia Full Product DetailsAuthor: Katherine Michelle WatsonPublisher: Amitab Imprint: Amitab Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.40cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.354kg ISBN: 9798869026705Pages: 262 Publication Date: 18 November 2023 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
