Special Issue on crisis, kidnapping and other undesired activities that undermine business and societal governance
Journal call for papers from Corporate Governance
Synopsis
Kidnapping is the taking away of a person against the person’s will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute. Kidnapping can also take place in the context of deprogramming, a practice used to convince someone to give up his or her commitment to a new religious movement, called a cult or sect by critics, that the subject’s family members consider harmful, prompting their hiring of a deprogrammer. Not only has the number of kidnappings jumped, the profile of the most risky countries has also changed. Kidnapping for ransom is a common occurrence in various parts of the world today and some regions are often described as the kidnapping capital of the world. There is no doubt, these activities undermine business and societal governance.

- Effects of kidnapping on business development
- Kidnapping and multi-nationals
