The Societas Europaea (SE) – time to start over? Capturing the zeitgeist of the 21st century

Abstract:

A topic of discourse for over half a century, the Societas Europaea (the European Company) has much to offer. Notwithstanding its merits, this supranational corporate form has attracted much criticism. One of the major issues that has emerged on a recurrent basis is the question of the functional worth of this structure. In this context a discourse has ensued about its advantages, and disadvantages from the perspective of its intended end-user.

This paper will discuss the pro-business aspects of this entity before giving due consideration to its structural and functional deficits, ending with suggestions for reform.
