BEIJING, 2013-10-31 22:24 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Zedillo Ponce de Leon will be the new chair of the 21st Century Council as part
of a deeper partnership between the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization
(YCSG), of which he is the director, and the Berggruen Institute on Governance
(BIG).
BIG's 21st Century Council is a forum for dialogue and action on global
governance, emphasizing the G-20 as the governing body of globalization.
Members include former heads of state, global entrepreneurs, and political
thinkers. The group, which is currently in China meeting with President Xi
Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang as part of its 'Understanding China' conference,
includes members such as Nicolas Sarkozy, Zheng Bijian, Fernando Henrique
Cardoso, Amartya Sen, Eric Schmidt, and Arianna Huffington.
Both BIG and YCSG share the goal of identifying the challenges and
opportunities inherent with globalization in the 21st century. Given the
coherence in our respective missions, there exist many possibilities for
meaningful collaboration.
Zedillo Ponce de Leon, who was President of Mexico from 1994 to 2000 and has
been at Yale since 2002, has been a member of the 21st Century Council since it
was first convened by the Berggruen Institute on Governance in 2011.
A list of the Council's participants and activities can be found at
