The primary focus is to investigate the underlying relation between China's institutional environment and its listed firms' corporate governance, and show how formal and informal governance mechanisms actually work within these firms. The monograph is organized as follows: after an introduction, Section 2 provides a discussion of the key unique institutional features in China.
