Capital Ownership Group

The Capital Ownership Group (COG), a non-profit network of professionals, business, labor and government leaders and staff, academics and activists on six continents, works to broaden ownership to deal with the negative effects of globalization. Funded by the Ford Foundation, COG has developed and operates an on-line virtual think tank and conference center from Kent State University in Ohio. Over 600 participants are registered in one or more of the 15 existing working groups. COG has responded to over 1,944,348 data requests from people in 148 countries. The site is navigable in English, Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, and Chinese. Registration for most of these groups is open to anyone.
