Washington, DC (“The District” to Washingtonians) is a city where a lot of business gets done – both domestic and international . It is not just the seat of the US government, but it is home to many international organizations such as the IMF and World Bank and foundations and think-tanks like the Brookings Institution and the Petersen Institute for International Economics . Dozens of world-renowned NGOs and donor agencies, including USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, Bread for the World and the World Wildlife Fund have headquarters in DC, and the DC area is home to a thriving, skill-intensive corporate sector . Of course, DC is the place where business and government interact, and despite the diversity and potential goal conflicts among DC-based organizations, a remarkable amount of cooperation takes place behind the scenes . The theme of the 2012 AIB meetings—“Rethinking the Roles of Business, Government and NGOs in the Global Economy” invites us to explore, and hopefully, to create new theory, that will shed light on the evolving roles and interactions between these three important groups of actors . Why do we need to rethink the roles of business, government and NGOs in the global economy? Because the nature of the challenges we confront such as financial contagion, global warming, threats to domestic and international security, international development and aging populations increasingly involve not only governments but domestic and multinational firms and global NGOs . The solutions to these challenges require creative thinking and new ways of working together across diverse types of organizations with different goals and stakeholders . Many papers and panels in this year’s conference explore these themes . As Jean Boddewyn notes (session 1 .1 .1), MNEs are often called upon to provide collective goods in emerging markets when governmental provision of critical services is inadequate . In a similar vein, Bennet Zellner and a terrific group of panelists explore the theme of shifting public and private boundaries in an institutionally heterogeneous world (session 1 .4P) . Jennifer Oetzl and another great group of panelists explore the response of MNEs to violence and organized crime, a problem we often expect governments to resolve (1 .4 .6) . Florian Taube and Liesl Riddle co-chair a panel looking at the role of diaspora networks in institutional entrepreneurship (session 2 .3 .4) . Jonathan Doh chairs a panel with industry and NGO leaders focusing on the evolving roles of government, business and civil society in the global business environment (2 .4 .1) . Andrew Spicer and Ilya Okhmatovskiy examine whether trust in the state and its political leaders affect the willingness to invest money in state-owned and privately held banks (2 .4 .3) – a very relevant topic in light of recent concerns about Greek and Spanish banks . And Michael Cummings, Paul Vaaler and Michael Barnett examine whether migrants, remittances and diaspora networks can have a positive effect on emigrating countries’ rule of law (3 .4 .7) . There are so many more papers and panels I could highlight . These are just a few . The 2012 AIB program includes many papers and panels that explore themes involving the roles and relationships of business, government and NGOs that
