One of the authors (Bernard Black, a legal scholar from the University of Texas), also has a lot of articles on Russian and Korean corporate governance. Just click on his name at the linked page to see his other work.
- Here is a one-page article from the financial press, concerning the debate over 'majority voting' in the US. The related slide on this topic are numbers 67 and 73 from the package above. For teaching, it is possible to gather summaries of discussions/debates, like this one from the financial press on the web. The people who are represented in the article came to the University of Delaware to discuss the matter---and what I learned from them was much the same as represented in the article. Thus, for developing teaching materials, one could make good use of such discussion articles.

- Here's a think-piece on the importance of teaching corporate governance as a theme within a course on corporate finance. The core point is that law, ownership, and the bank-or-markets orientation of a country have strong influence on corporate financial management that should be highlighted for students.
