This book gives an overview of the most important theories on Corporate Governance, investigating the myth and the reality of it. It argues that within the banking sector exist two new agency costs (i.e., bank depositors and shareholders vs. directors and bank depositors vs. shareholders and directors). These agency problems are difficult to reduce for two reasons. First, banks are complex and opaque. Second, government implicit guarantees and the deposit insurance systems reduce the monitoring of depositors. This book also takes a deep dive into research on CG in the banking sector via a unique and innovative literature review covering the time period between 2000-2020. It finds that some specific CG characteristics affect banks: risk appetite, performance, accounting quality, compensation and corporate social responsibility disclosure. Furthermore, this publication contends that institutional investors are changing CG for the better, describing how major financial markets factors such as rating agencies and sell-side financial analysts make CG visible. Additionally, it investigates how managerial biases and irrational investors can affect CG negatively, leading to company distress. All-in-all, this book makes a threefold contribution: for regulators, it offers suggestions on how to improve banks’ supervision; for researchers, it suggests new research topics; and for practitioners, it connects CG theory with real cases of CG failure.

El Partido Demócrata Cristiano ha sido una pieza clave en la más general inserción de la política chilena en las grandes tendencias político-ideológicas que dominaron la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Durante el siglo pasado las relaciones entre adores políticos externos y chilenos se enmarcaron en el contexto de grandes procesos y disyuntivas de relevancia mundial: la Guerra Fría y la más general competencia entre proyectos sociales holísticos, la emergente preocupación por los derechos humanos, la experiencia de las transiciones post dictatoriales en Europa Meridional, entre otros. Estos actores externos Jugaron un papel muy relevante en Impulsar la estrategia política de salida do la dictadura chilena que, al converger con factores internos, tuvieron un impacto importante en determinar los lineamientos de la transición. Los adores políticos locales, como el PDC, lejos de ser piezas en manos de referentes externos, tuvieron un papel protagónico, usando sus redes internacionales para afianzar y consolidar su proyecto político. A diferencia de otros trabajos que han abordado la dimensión internacional de la transición, el foco de este libro no son los aspectos económicos, ni los ideológicos, sino más bien la centralidad política de un ador, el Partido Demócrata Cristiano, y la capacidad que éste tuvo de consolidar a nivel internacional su posición de referente para el retorno a la democracla en Chile.
