The book examines the attempts by the European Union to harmonise in the field of company law. In particular, it explores and offers a critical assessment of the proposal from the European Commission for a European single-member company (‘SUP’). Key weakness are identified, including the challenges with the online founding in uncertain proof of identity and the deficient protection of creditors, which conflicts with existing insolvency law, particularly from the German perspective. Other dangers identified include the risk of use of the SEA as an instrument of participation avoidance. In addition, it shows that the SUP is largely unsuitable for control of the right of instruction of the sole shareholder and managing director liability. Having set out the areas where the proposal is currently not fit for purpose, the author makes a number of suggestions on how it might be approved.

This book provides practice-oriented insights into the agency of two previously underestimated actors in Southeast Asian regionalism: the ASEAN Secretariat and ASEAN’s dialog partners. In doing so, it offers an inside view of the policymaking processes in the ASEAN Political-Security and the ASEAN Economic Community, analyzing the interplay and agency by both actors in agenda setting, formulation, decision-making, implementation, and monitoring. Drawing on a trove of novel data, including never-before analyzed sources and numerous interviews with ASEAN insiders, the book showcases a number of concrete cases of policymaking, including competition and counterterrorism policies. The chapters focusing on the ASEAN Secretariat address aspects related to institutional autonomy, capacity, and reforms within the bureaucracy. In the chapters on ASEAN’s dialog partners, the book provides insights into the bilateral management of institutional support programs, as well as the impacts of support on ASEAN’s policymaking processes.
