"Learning to Talk" is a new book consisting of 27 essays from a broad array of contributors, detailing the inception and growth of the Global Compact. Edited by Malcolm McIntosh, Sandra Waddock and Georg Kell, with a foreword and essay by Kofi Annan, "Learning to Talk" is an opportunity to reflect on the first steps of an initiative born in the aftermath of the Cold War, the "triumph of global economic liberalism", and mass demonstrations against globalization. It contains serious reflections on the Global Compact's aims and origins; some stories of engagement; and discussion on how this initiative has quickly become an important reference point in the dialogue on global and corporate governance. "Learning to Talk" was published by Greenleaf Press in June 2004.

This publication can be purchased from the Greenleaf Publishing website.
