Background
to the Transatlantic Corporate Governance Dialogue |
|
| In 2004, the
European Corporate Governance Institute and the American
Law Institute (ALI) established the Transatlantic
Corporate Governance Dialogue in order to bring
together leading academics from law, economics and finance,
regulators, judges, law makers, corporate leaders, investors
and other corporate constituencies to engage in forward-looking
discussions of corporate governance issues that are or will
be at the forefront of policymaking on both sides of the
Atlantic. In 2008, the Brookings Institution and Columbia University superseded the ALI as the ECGI's US partners. The Dialogue is endorsed by the European Commission. |
| The
Dialogue was launched with a full-day public conference
held in Brussels on 12 July 2004 thanks to support from
the European Commission. In subsequent years, a conference has been held alternately in the United States and Europe. See below for further details of each conference. |
