2004 - 2005 Media Fellow: Madelaine Drohan
The Sheldon Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership takes pleasure in announcing the appointment of Madelaine Drohan, as its 2004 - 2005 Media Fellow.
Ms. Drohan’s project is entitled Accountability Post-Enron: Can the Momentum be Sustained? Will the heightened public sensitivity to corporate corruption, she asks, lead to lasting improvements in corporate ethics? Building on previous research which culminated in the publication of her book, Making a Killing: How and Why Corporations Use Armed Force to do Business, Ms. Drohan hopes to assess whether the current emphasis on financial accountability of corporations will be further extended to fully include environmental and social accountability.
Madelaine is an award-winning Canadian economics and business journalist and a former foreign correspondent. Her principal areas of interest are Canadian and international public policy; international trade issues; business practices and ethics; and globalization and international governance. She has dual Canadian/British Citizenship, and lives in Ottawa, where she pursues her active interests in swimming, white-water rafting and river kayaking, not necessarily in that order.
