2002 - 2003 Public Policy Fellow: John Harker
The Sheldon M. Chumir Foundation for Ethics in Leadership takes pleasure in announcing the appointment of John Harker, as its 2002 - 2003 Public Policy Fellow.
“Public Policy, Private Power: Ethical Leadership in the Conduct of Canada’s Extractive Industries Abroad” will examine how one corporation’s experience and one country’s response will contribute to a general understanding of how a culture of ethical conduct can be fostered in extractive corporations, and in the public services which regulate, support, or protect them.
Mr. Harker was appointed by the Canadian government to advise on whether or not oil investment by a Canadian company was exacerbating the civil war in Sudan. He serves as a member of the international Advisory Board of Oil and Gas Online, as a Fellow of the Institute for African and Asian Studies at the University of Khartoum, and devotes much of his time to public discussion at universities. He also advises the Peacebuilding Unit of the Canadian International Development Agency on Sudan, the Commonwealth Business Council, and assists various NGOs.
