This course offers an introduction to capital market and securities regulation.

Students will learn about relevant regulations on public offering, the liability regime, and the regulatory regime for takeovers and privitisation. We will learn relevant regulations from a comparative law perspective and discuss the policy rationale behind different regimes, including UK, US and China.
