Abstract
The Comparative Corporate and Labour law Research and Development programme uses comparative law method to prove the real dimension of the differences and similarities between US and EU corporate governance, and to find societal and economic reasons for them and concluding the best corporate governance alternatives for actual Slovene economic and legal state of the art.
It has been 7 years after the adoption of new corporation law and it is time to confront a lot of experience and new knowledge that have been accomplished in implementing and accessing new corporate governance scheme and see what conceptual changes are needed due to the contemporary developments on this field in Europe and especially US. Slovenia has been faced the challenges of reforms that have to be performed in its economic and legal system, in order to both, satisfy the conditions imposed by EU as regard the adoption of so called acquie communitaire (community legal order) and to improve its economic and overall competitive performance on the Single market without boundaries and protection.
One of the important instruments to increase efficiency of the economy is certainly its corporate governance system, as regard to which, Slovenia must take some principal decisions, connected with both mentioned issues: community approximation and efficiency. At least it is necessary to answer the following questions, which the research programme tries to analyse in its work:
1. Should Slovenian legislation follow the German two tier system as mandatory statutory prescribed corporate governance model, or at least allow the corporations the possibility introduce one tier model where more appropriate?
2. Should Slovenian corporate legislation allow shareholders to contractually modify corporate governance composition and structure, according to their needs and perception of efficiency, using shareholder agreements and contractual freedom, or statutory regulation of corporate governance should be mandatory, following uniform legal status of each corporation?
Answering these question it is necessary to take into account not just »European« consideration, but by all means, domestic economic, political and cultural (behavioural) specifics and circumstances, caused by the archived stage of overall country developments. This is why it is very important that the programme takes interdisciplinary approach to legal analysis.
