Sustainable Finance in Europe: Corporate Governance, Financial Stability and Financial Markets - Book Launch
This online public event, organised by the Commercial Law Centre at Harris Manchester College and The Radboud Business Law Institute at Radboud University, Nijmegen, will launch the recently published book ‘Sustainable Finance in Europe – Corporate Governance, Financial Stability and Financial Markets’.
The book brings together the views of expert academics and practitioners on the latest regulatory developments in sustainable finance in Europe. It covers a wide range of cutting-edge issues, which relate to three main themes around which the volume is structured: (1) corporate governance; (2) financial stability; and (3) financial markets. With individual contributions deploying different methods of analysis, including theoretical contributions on the status quo of macro-financial research as well as law and economics approaches, the collection encourages interdisciplinary readership and will appeal to those researching capital markets law, European financial law, and sustainable finance, as well as practitioners within the finance industry.
