On 3-4 November 2017 the sixth International Corporate Governance and Law
(ICGL) Forum  was held in Hamburg. The Forum was co-sponsored by: the
Alexander von Humboldt Foundation through the Anneliese Maier Research

Enterprises, Corporate Groups and Supply Chains in a Globalised World:
Regulatory Challenges and Approaches, and the Future Role of Company Law
and Corporate Governance'. Articles arising from the papers of this Forum are
published in this Special Issue of the Deakin Law Review.'
