In June 2024, the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) awarded its Prize for the Best Paper in the ECGI Law Working Paper Series to Curtis J. Milhaupt, William F. Baxter-Visa International Professor of Law. Milhaupt’s paper, “The (Geo)Politics of Controlling Shareholders,” analyzes the complex interplay between controlling shareholders and geopolitical dynamics. According to the ECGI, the paper “makes a substantial and novel contribution to the literature on corporate governance and controlling shareholders by analyzing how the features of firms with controlling shareholders enhance their geopolitical significance, and by advocating for the study of corporate governance to extend beyond traditional economic analysis to incorporate geopolitical and political-economic dimensions.” And in January 2024, Milhaupt was named a Fellow of ECGI, an international non-profit providing a forum for dialogue between academics, legislators and practitioners, focusing on major corporate governance issues and best practices. The Institute awards the title Fellow to ECGI members who have “demonstrated scientific excellence or other outstanding achievements in the area of corporate governance and stewardship.” SL
