Recenzje

'Social Enterprises in Asia: A New Legal Form is a welcome addition to the growing literature on social enterprise law. Its comprehensive and readable guide to the gaps and uncertainties in existing legal forms for social enterprises in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, and Singapore draws a wealth of information into a coherent framework for analysis. Using this baseline, Lim advances an ambitious proposal for a new legal form tailor-made to suit social enterprises' needs in these four common law Asian jurisdictions. In the process, the book grapples with the most significant corporate governance issues impacting social enterprises worldwide.' Dana Brakman Reiser, Centennial Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School
