How costly are mis-governance and corruption? Are some sectors and countries particularly vulnerable? What is state capture and what can be done about it? What are the central elements of approaches to good governance and corruption control in the future? These are just some of the questions Daniel Kaufmann, president and CEO of the Natural Resource Governance Institute, will address in this keynote lecture.
