Dennis Chookaszian will discuss the development of Global Governance systems over the past 30 years and relate that to the 500 year history of Corporate Governance since the formation of the first Corporation in 1564. That history is vital to understanding the changes that need to take place in developing countries to establish a stable, growth oriented economy.
