An international colloquium designed to examine the systemic roots of the crisis in corporate governance, providing an opportunity to critique how policy is created and the pivotal roles played in that process by ideas and interest groups. In developing a synthesis, it is specifically designed to map the loci of power and reveal the limitations that are placed on any structural overhaul through which entrenched interests are threatened.

Taking place over two days, the colloquium will utilise plenary and breakout sessions to critically assess the post-Enron landscape.
