2 UNITY IN DIVERSITY: RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC ASIA 21 YOUNG LEADERS SUMMIT 3 ABOUT ASIA SOCIETY

Asia Society is the leading global and pan-Asian organization working to strengthen relationships and promote understanding among the people, leaders, and institutions of the United States and Asia. We seek to increase knowledge and enhance dialogue, encourage creative expression, and generate new ideas across the fields of arts and culture, policy and business, and education. Asia Society was founded in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller 3rd. Initially established to promote greater knowledge of Asia in the US, the Society today is a global institution—with offices throughout the US and Asia—that fulfills its educational mandate through a wide range of cross-disciplinary programming. As economies and cultures have become more interconnected, the Society’s programs have expanded to address Asian American issues, the effects of globalization, and pressing concerns in Asia including human rights, the status of women, and environmental and global health issues such as HIV/AIDS. In celebration of its 50th anniversary in 2006, Asia Society announced a dramatic expansion of its network that includes the building of major new facilities in Hong Kong and Houston. Asia Society is on the web at www.asiasociety.org

This can result in weak enforcement mechanisms or ‘the re-direction’ of blame to target the whistle blower.

Societies must influence the government to eradicate corruption as they are a main player in this problem and have power to deal with it. Businesses should also be watched over as their actions can influence government policies or even promote corruption wherever they take their business to.
