Summary
The Chapter conceptualizes an analytical framework that can be adopted as a basis for future comparative research on shareholder voting and engagement. The conceptual framework consists of three layers: voting laws, engagement tools, and the eco-system for voting and engagement. The Chapter proceeds to discuss the future role of the shareholders meeting. It suggests that the global reality of the shareholders meeting cannot be readily and categorically reduced to either one of the dichotomic stereotypes: the shareholders meeting as a pro forma or as an emanation of shareholder democracy. Rather, there should therefore be a dynamic approach to the shareholders meeting. The Chapter also discusses the Handbook’s implications for the discourse on shareholder voice and activism, highlighting both the promises and limitations of shareholder activism around the globe. The Chapter concludes with discussions of some avenues for future research in the fast growing field of comparative shareholder voting and engagement.
