"Privatization and international convergence seem obvious developments in the business world. But how true is this observation? This book takes a look at the world of accounting and finds that the story is much more intricate. The state transforms its role by involving private actors, by reaching out into the international arena or by setting up new institutions that counteract privatization and internationalization."--BOOK JACKET.
