The intensifying pace of globalization has led to a questioning of the traditional approaches to governance at the corporate, national and international levels. To explore this issue, this volume focuses on: the most desirable forms of corporate governance; the most appropriate forms of public governance; how well leading national governments are pioneering the needed policies and practices; and the G8's role in assisting governments and corporations to work together.
