Accountability Asset Recovery: A Leadership and Sustainability Initiative

Abstract

Since Rio, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development [UNCED] held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 and informally referred to as “The Earth Summit,” a practical way forward has eluded leadership specifically in regard to an accountability process. High instructions have been evaded and postponed by actors on the international economic front not due to the lack of vision, clarity, or agency infrastructure, but due to a missing link in the chain at follow-through. Dialogue-based public diplomacy competence is the key to collaboration with summit leadership when instigating geo-political macro-economic initiatives correspondent to the practice of public private partnership within the vast confines of a participatory democracy. Research can find positioned in the media, via internet and electronic sources, signals, visuals, and language cues by leaders which can be utilized as building blocks in conjunction with summit level leadership directives toward public participation, by citizens. Thus this missing link is the focus of an initiative created by this writer; the topic of this research.
