The Typology of Joint Stock Companies in Russian Federation and Vietnam
The article considers the problem of typology of joint stock companies, which becomes actual both in the legislation of Russia and Vietnam. Particular attention is paid to whether there is need to maintain the closed joint-stock company (JSC) in Russia, and how to regulate the legal status of public companies in Vietnam. Taking into account international experience and the views of various scholars in this field, the author concludes that there is no need to maintain closed JSC in Russia and perhaps the introduction into law the concept of «public company». With regard to regulation of the legal status of public companies in Vietnam, the author believes that there is no need for «special» registration or reregistration of a public company. Adequate registration of legal persons in the manner prescribed in the laws is enough.
