 Low Structure, High Ambiguity: Selective Adaptation of International Norms of Corporate Governance Mechanisms in ChinaS. H. Goo and Anne Carver Chapter 10 in Changing Corporate Governance Practices in China and Japan, 2008, pp 206-234 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The theme of this volume is the selective adaptation of international standards in dispute resolution. In the area of corporate governance, it is difficult to talk in terms of selective adaptation of international standards as there is not a single set of international standards in corporate governance which can be adopted or adapted by any country but a variety of models of laws, regulations and practices around the world.1 Even the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance are no more than a mere statement of principles and aspiration, not detailed workable rules or standards which can be adopted or adapted. However, there are clearly certain corporate governance practices and mechanisms, mostly from the European and Anglo-American models, that are adopted and adapted in other parts of the world. In this chapter, we focus on the issue of selective adaptation of those Western models of corporate governance in China.
