We discuss the challenge of corporate governance and its regulation in the post-modern world. In so doing we explore the complex web of recent regulation that has developed out of a mix of political ideologies and business scandals. We highlight a series of identifiable issues at the interface between the regulation of corporations, its practice and its theory, and conclude with a discussion of future directions for governance research, as well as methodological issues implicit in process studies of governance.
