Domestic opposition within India to its joining international economies treaties such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) resulted in India aggressively pushing for various flexibilities in areas such as public health and access to drugs, local content measures, environmental standards and trade remedies. In recent times, India has signed comprehensive economic partnership agreements with developed economies such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore and is negotiating a trade and investment agreement with the EU and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).This paper provides an analysis of the focus and coverage of issues under various trade and investment agreements and areas where India has negotiated development space or policy autonomy. In addition, the paper discusses the recent claims made against India under various Bilateral Investment Promotion Agreements (BIPA) and the safeguards adopted by India while negotiating such new agreements or renegotiating or reviewing existing agreements. Based on this approach this paper seeks to contribute to the project that attempts to compare and contrast the multiple strategies adopted by Southern countries in regulating trade and investment.","PeriodicalId":331576,"journal":{"name":"FGV DIREITO SP Law School Legal Studies Research Paper Series","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125002430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing literature focuses on the implications of government ownership for corporate governance and performance at the firm level. This Article, by contrast, explores the different but equally important question of whether the presence of the state as a shareholder can impose negative externalities on the corporate law regime available to the private sector. Drawing from historical experiments with government ownership in the United States, Brazil, China, and Europe, this study shows that the conflict of interest stemming from the state’s dual role as a shareholder and regulator can influence the content of corporate laws to the detriment of outside investor protection and efficiency. It thus addresses a gap in the literature on the political economy of corporate governance by incorporating the political role of the state as shareholder as another mechanism to explain the relationship between corporate ownership structures and legal investor protection. Finally, this Article explores the promise of different institutional arrangements to constrain the impact of the state’s interests as a shareholder on the corporate governance environment, and concludes by offering several policy recommendations.","PeriodicalId":331576,"journal":{"name":"FGV DIREITO SP Law School Legal Studies Research Paper Series","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128672282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on the 88 responding Brazilian private firms which are not majority owned by the state or a foreign company. We identify areas where Brazilian corporate governance is relatively strong and weak. Board independence is an area of weakness: The boards of most Brazilian private firms are comprised entirely or almost entirely of insiders or representatives of the controlling family or group. Many firms have zero independent directors. At the same time, minority shareholders have legal rights to representation on the boards of many firms, and this representation is reasonably common. Financial disclosure lags behind world standards. Only a minority of firms provide a statement of cash flows or consolidated financial statements. However, many provide English language financial statements, and an English language version of their website. Audit committees are uncommon, but many Brazilian firms use an alternate approach to ensuring financial statement accuracy – establishing a fiscal board. A minority of firms provide takeout rights to minority shareholders on a sale of control. Controlling shareholders often use shareholders agreements to ensure control. Este artigo apresenta um panorama das praticas de governanca corporativa no Brasil, baseado em um extenso levantamento feito no ano de 2005 com 88 empresas com controle privado nacional. Identificamos areas onde a governanca corporativa no Brasil e relativamente forte ou fraca. Os conselhos de administracao da maioria das empresas privadas brasileiras sao compostos totalmente ou quase totalmente por membros ou representantes da familia ou grupo controlador. Muitas empresas nao tem nenhum conselheiro independente. Ao mesmo tempo, acionistas minoritarios tem direitos legais de representacao no conselho de administracao de muitas empresas e tal representacao e razoavelmente comum. Divulgacoes de informacoes financeiras estao aquem dos padroes internacionais. Apenas algumas empresas fornecem informacoes sobre os fluxos de caixa ou demonstracoes financeiras consolidadas. Entretanto, muitas empresas fornecem suas demonstracoes financeiras em ingles em suas paginas de internet. Comites de auditoria nao sao comuns, porem muitas empresas brasileiras buscam uma alternativa para assegurar a precisao das demonstracoes financeiras, por meio da criacao de um conselho fiscal. Uma pequena parte fornece direitos de protecao para os acionistas minoritarios em uma venda de controle da empresa. Os acionistas que detem o controle da empresa costumam utilizar os acordos de acionistas para garantir o controle. This document is in Portuguese.
