I have to decide on what exactly to write on this topic so I thought I'd get some suggestions from you monkeys.
Which countries/parts of the world could I look at that are interesting?
Which period?
Also, perhaps you could suggest a title within this topic?
Thanks in advance!

I hear Canada is a very interesting part of the world, you should start there.
US due to the large volume of public information regarding acquisitions of distressed companies
You first need to refine your definition of distressed. If you're talking about going through a restructuring (e.g., Chapt 11 in US, Scheme of Arrangement / CVA in the UK) then there is a miriad of topics you could expore to get a handle on the success of the acquisition. If you're not going to put a binary measure on it that could get messy / harder to find data on. Also (and your title does make this clear) are you going for strategic buyers or PE firms? That will narrow your focus significantly and I would assume the former will, again, be harder to find data on. If you want to look at countries do a north / south divide of Europe (and this is assuming you're going down the restructuring route) as it's often touted that northern beer drinking nations favour creditors and have a more efficient bankruptcy law framework.
