Support Corporate Governance Research

Research on corporate governance has in large part been generated against experiences and events in the developed markets. This has often formed the basis for analysis of reform considerations for developing countries, that has not always been appropriate or relevant. To support the corporate governance policy agenda in emerging markets and transition economies, the Forum has established a network of leading academics under the auspices of its Global Corporate Governance Research Network to:

• review the literature on corporate governance and development,
• identify priorities for future research in the Forum's areas of activity,
• generate and publish discussion papers and research working papers, and
• develop a global research strategy that supports academic research capacity in developing countries on corporate governance.

The Forum in partnership with the Asian Institute of Corporate Governance held an Academic Network Conference on Corporate Governance in Emerging Markets in Istanbul on November 15-17, 2007. Click here for details.
