On Thursday 5 November 2015, The Economic Club of Ulaanbaatar will present James Anderson, Country Manager and Resident Representative for Mongolia from the World Bank, from 7.30 - 9.30am at the Corporate Hotel speaking on the topic “Why Governance?”
Everyone talks about the importance of governance, but what does it really mean? Is good governance a prerequisite for economic progress? Or is it a luxury to be bought when the country can afford it? Mr Anderson will reflect on the links between governance systems and economic performance, on what is known and still debated. He will also reflect on his time in Mongolia in the 1990’s and how the economy and governance challenges have shifted since then.
Mr Anderson has a PhD in Economics from the University of Maryland, USA and has worked in a range of governance issues including access to information, transparency, anti-corruption, judicial reform and land management in former Soviet Union countries. He has co-authored several books, including Anticorruption in Transition 3and Judicial Systems in Transition Economies and has had research published in the Journal of Comparative Economics and Economic Inquiry.
The Economic Club of Ulaanbaatar is just one of the projects established by the Silk Road Foundation (SRF) and provides an opportunity for top business professionals, economists, politicians and decision makers to discuss the major economic issues facing Mongolia.
The session will be moderated by Economist and ECUB Board Member Mr D. Ganbold, and situated in the Berlin Room at the Corporate Hotel and Convention Centre.
