Corporate Global Citizenship in the 21st Century
As the global agenda is increasingly shaped outside the traditional framework of nation states, corporations not only have licence to operate in the global system, but also a civic duty to contribute to its sustainable health.
How should corporations exercise their civic duty with regard to major global issues?

…
Rania!!
Please..
Do not challenge the intelligence of the WORLD.The ME- with all its disgraceful problems- is an integral part of the world.
Faking these ingratiating smiles before the blunt judging assessing eyes of West will never make the Middle-East any better than what really it is.
Please,Queen Rania, stop your inititives to address the First World through the lofty air that exist above the short real disgraceful ( moral,religious,social and economical) heights of your region.
I have no idea …
I have no idea about Economics, however, as per this video, women certainly are more appealing leaders w/talking about money and society issues
Gordon Brown and …
Gordon Brown and his party are the biggest hypocrites on the face of this Earth. He claims that he wants to encourage people to train and get skills, yet HIS party abolished “free” University education not so long ago. HIS party’s policies made it impossible for large sections of the UK population to even afford education! What a lying dirty back stabber. And these people wonder why we don’t trust them!? Sickening!
oh joy… …
oh joy…market-driven education systems! I can’t wait for the Pepsi Cola University to open. I’ll be the first in line to enroll on their “Bottling Cola” Masters degree. I guess we can all kiss “real” liberal-arts style education goodbye. They’ll teach us the bare minimum that enables us all to work in their sweat-shops. These vampires are quite sickening and at the same time terrifying. Good god help “the people”!
These people say, …
These people say, let us government and companies rule the world, let us say what the needs of the people are, I dont see any representatives from society, just top officials. They say they are saving 534&$%# lifes, yes but. they dont say how they are exploiting the lifes of millions, everywhere. EXPLOITERS.

Ok, I read the last few commetns they’re all in the same, while I understand your classic posture towards the issue; do you think she might be coming at you from the left field? One day she will be judged by her deeds, and all of you will eat your words!
The so-called queen …
The so-called queen Rania reflects how the elite society of Middle eastern are completely isolated from the realities of their societies, where women illiteracy is primarily attributed to social oppression and discrimination towards them. In brief, I would advice “people’s queen” to mind direct issues related to her compatriots rather than tackling the corporate world ethics.
Indeed, it is funny …
Indeed, it is funny to witness the queen of Jordan talking about issues that are light years away from the realities of her compatriots, who are mainly concerned about maintaining decent living and finding employment for its third youth population.
portraying as a …
portraying as a WESTERN cant change the mind of all.She styled herself as role model but pitifully her own country doesn’t acknowledge her so-called dresses. Compare Indra benig Hindu with Miss so-called Queen , Mrs Indra’s dressing is comparatively right than Miss so-called Queen. I really smile at these pseudo figurs being raised for their vested interest.
she was born and …
she was born and raised in kuwait. she attended the american university in cairo. geographically, egypt is not in the states or the uk.
She was educated in …
She was educated in the US and the UK. Not exactly the most representative of all Arab women.
Queen Rania is an …
Queen Rania is an amazing example of how the perceived image of the Middle East in the west is indeed not even close in terms of representing the reality of the region.
