Abstract

In this chapter we reflect on our paper ‘The End of History for Corporate Law’ (Hansmann and Kraakman, 2001), originally written for a conference at Columbia University in 1997 on a question that was then just beginning to attract substantial attention: ‘Are corporate governance systems converging?’ There can of course be as many answers to that question as there are interpretations of the question itself. At a macro level, however, it seemed to us that there was an important sense in which the answer to this question was clearly ‘yes.’ In our original paper — with its hyperbolic title and somewhat more modulated text — we sought to expound that view.
