In this comprehensive volume, an international group of contributors - academics, corporate executives, government officials, policymakers, specialists from nongovernmental organizations, and legal experts - examine the crucial role of corporate governance as well as the external institutions and forces that affect it.

A valuable source of information, Corporate Governance in Russia is a must-read for business people, government officials, academic researchers, students, and all those interested in Russia and what the future holds.

Corporate Governance in Russia

Excerpt from The Prisoner of War in Germany: The Care and Treatment of the Prisoner of War With a History of the Development of the Principle of Neutral Inspection and Control From the outbreak of the present war to the breaking of diplomatic relations, a period covering two and a half years, our State Department elab orated and carried out an important piece of work which received scant notice in the public prints. To our various embassies were delegated the care of the prisoners of war in Russia, Ger many, Austria, France and Great Britain. When, therefore, the Department gave leave to print matters in relation to this work, I felt it a duty to present the problem in Germany, and its solution, in book form. This report is based upon a personal experience of several months' intimate contact, in an official position, with the problem involved. It might be said that it is, in simple language, a report of a survey of the Prisoner of War situation in Ger many for the year 1916.
