This multi-disciplinary volume provides a critical examination of corporate governance reform in Southeast Asia especially after the Asian financial crisis in 1997. The weaknesses in the corporate sector, such as poor investment structure, weak legal and accounting systems, faulty financial practices, questionable political interventions, are some of the pertinent issues raised by the authors, who include legal specialists, corporate practitioners, economists, and political scientists. Policy measures to improve corporate transparency, institutional accountability, and fiscal prudence are also proposed. The volume provides interested readers and policy-makers in Southeast Asia with the most current research and policy options on corporate governance reform, and advocates more committed and effective governance changes in the future.

While the weak corporate governance has been identified as among the leading contributing factors that led to the Asian financial crisis, the progress in restructuring corporate governance has been rather modest in Southeast Asia following the crisis. Some common features of corporate governance in Southeast Asian countries, such as high concentration of ownership and lack of adequate disclosure, have been remarkably resilient to the frustration of the reformers. In this paper, we argue that the observed rigidities in corporate governance structure in Southeast Asia may be due to the political institutions as well as the interaction between these institutions and the corporate sectors. Our analysis also finds that there are substantive variations in corporate governance across Southeast Asian countries, and that the differences in political institutions among these countries may account for much of the variations.

Corporate governance, i.e. the ensemble of principles and rules aiming at fostering a sustainable growth and better management of enterprises, has become particularly relevant in Southeast Asia, where the financial and economic crises during the last two years has left deep scars in the countries impacted by the crisis.The structural origins of the crisis are related to a series of bad governance practices - concentration of ownership, lack of transparency, absence of accountability, lack of risk-management systems etc. -rooted in the particular features of Asian capitalism.The crisis has forced the countries of the region to make efforts to improve corporate governance in order to provide solid and sustainable bases to the forthcoming recovery and to attract badly needed foreign capitals. But the reforms have not bore fruit yet. For good governance to be definitely installed in Southeast Asia, countries of the region still have to reinforce supervision and control nstitutions and strengthen the judicial system.

This book analyzes state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which are still significant players in many Asian economies. They provide essential public services, build and operate key infrastructure, and are often reservoirs of public employment. Their characteristics and inherent competitive advantages as publicly owned enterprises allow them to play these critical roles. Their weaknesses in governance and inefficiencies in incentive structures, however, also often lead to poor performance. SOEs must be efficient, transparent, and accountable to level the playing field for private companies, secure the growth of a vibrant private sector, and achieve sustained and inclusive economic growth. This book analyzes the reform of SOEs in Asia, the results of which are mixed. The volume concludes that some key conditions generally need to be met for SOE reforms to be successful: national bureaucracies must have the capacity to implement the reforms, and adverse impacts on international trade and investment must be avoided.
