    Much of the writing in "The Journal of Corporate Citizenship" over the
    last few years has been concerned with stakeholder engagement, social
    partnership building, accountability, and reporting. To date, however,
    there has been little discussion of what comes next in potential
    transformational efforts to build a more secure, peaceful and
    ecologically sustainable world - or the corporate roles in building
    that world.

    This issue asks the question: What is the role of business in
    contributing to global peace and security over the long haul? As can
    readily be seen by the variety of papers and topics in the issue, the
    answer to that question is far from easy or simple, and each person who
    approaches the topic does so from a different perspective. Nonetheless,
    there are common threads and themes that arise when we begin thinking
    seriously about how businesses can contribute to peace and security and
    to what we are calling, after Polanyi, the next great transformation.
    Clearly, there are significant signs that transformation is needed in
    the world today.

    This publication will be launched at the Global Compact Leaders Summit
    in Geneva, July 6th. 2007.
