Amsterdam Edit

(Nederland)   |   |   |   |   |   | 

( fr ) Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, located in the south of the province North Holland. The name Amsterdam literally means Amstel dam. The city was founded in the late 12th century as a small fishing village. The historical centre is renowned for its concentric canals, largely built during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. The city has been compared with Venice. Beyond the canals, the similaraties have a basis in the cities' long histories of overseas trading, translating in openess and tolerance.

A new global architecture for corporate responsibility
Over the last couple of decades, governments showed a distinct lack of appetite for international institutional reform or innovation.
