A collection of papers on governance and regulation in the MENA region

The editorial team of the Publishing House “Virtus Interpress” has prepared a new collection of empirical and theoretical papers published in the Journal of Governance and Regulation during last few years devoted to the issues of governance and regulation in the MENA region.

We hope that this collection of papers will be useful for those scholars pursuing research in the field of corporate governance (specifically MENA issues).
