John D. Clark
In Worlds Apart, John Clark shows us how the same opportunities and threats that have caused such rapid change in the economic and corporate worlds are also transforming the citizen's sector.
John D. Clark, now retired, was a lead social scientist at the World Bank and also served as adviser to Kofi Annan on issues related to UN–civil society relations.
