He was a member of the Liechtenstein national under-21 football team and had 10 caps. Kaufmann received his first call-up to the senior team for the friendly against Estonia on 17 November 2010 and made his debut after being named in the starting 11.
Daniel Kaufmann is the president of the Natural Resource Governance Institute, formerly the Revenue Watch Institute - Natural Resource Charter. Previously he was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Prior to that he was a director at the World Bank Institute, leading work on governance and anti-corruption.
Early life
He was born in Chile, where he grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. He later received a B.A. in economics and statistics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and an M.A. and Ph.D. in economics at Harvard, graduating in 1982.
Career
For most of his professional career Dr. Kaufmann has held positions at the World Bank, working in Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America, and conducting research around the globe. He currently directs the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), a policy institute and nonprofit organization based in New York City, with operations in more than a dozen countries.
Daniel is a masculinegiven name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means, "God is my judge", and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname. It is also the basis for various derived given names and surnames.
Background
The name evolved into over 100 different spellings in countries around the world. Nicknames (Dan, Danny) are common in both English and Hebrew, although in some instances "Dan" may be a complete given name rather than a nickname. The name "Daniil" (Даниил) is common in Russia. Feminine versions (Danielle, Daniela, Daniella, Dani, Danitza) are prevalent as well. The Dutch names "Daan" and "Daniël" are also variations of Daniel. A related surname developed as a patronymic, Daniels. Other surnames derived from "Daniel" include McDaniel and Danielson.
In the United States, the U.S. Social Security Administration reports that Daniel has peaked as the fifth most popular name for newborns in 1985, 1990, 2007, and 2008. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that in the 2000 census, "Daniels" was the 182nd most common surname in the U.S., while "McDaniel" was ranked at 323, and "Daniel" (without a final "s") was ranked at 380.
"Daniel" is a song by English recording artist Bat for Lashes, from her second studio album, Two Suns. It is her best selling single to date, selling over 46,000 copies worldwide. The song was announced as the lead single from Two Suns in January 2009, then released as a digital download single on 1 March 2009, and as a 7" vinyl single on 6 April 2009. The track was written by Natasha Khan and produced by David Kosten, as with all tracks on the album. Ira Wolf Tuton from Yeasayer provided the bass lines for the song and Khan did the rest of the instrumentation herself. Khan said in an interview with The Sun newspaper that "Daniel" is based on a fictional character that she fell in love with as a teenager.
The single's cover features Khan with an image of the character Daniel LaRusso, from the film The Karate Kid, painted on her back. A character much like LaRusso also features at the end of the music video which goes with the song. The B-side of the 7" is a cover version of a 1980 single by The Cure.
Daniel is an Englishdepartment store chain and Royal Warrant holder, with its flagship store situated in central Windsor. It was established in 1901 by Walter James Daniel, and is privately owned.

America's Roundtable: Part II - Dr. Daniel Kaufmann on Corruption, Public Finances and Governance
In the second part of the interview on America's Roundtable, Dr. Kaufmann talks about the effectiveness of foreign aid and increased vulnerability to corruption of recipient countries. According to Dr. Kaufmann, the most important factor in combating corruption is domestic leadership. Twinning local judges with foreign judges can be effective. The World Governance Indicators' data reveals that a country can make significant progress in just 5-8 years (relayed by the examples of New Europe: Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Baltics).
Dr. Kaufmann codified the extent of "state capture" and "legal corruption" through a survey of enterprises in over 100 countries, starting in 2004. The extent of capture afflicting the U.S. was very high; it not only rated well below other industrialized cou...

Whether this natural wealth is transformed into prosperity depends on good decision making and good governance across a wide range of issues from exploration, environmental management, taxation to spending the proceeds. High level conceptual ideas on what governments should do are common, the difficulty is turning these ideas into practice. This panel has unparalleled experience advising presidents and other high-level government executives on these issues. It will discuss how government officials respond to these challenges, coordinate across diverse and often competing departments while fighting their day-to-day political battles. The panel will also look at what civil society, international donors and academics should do to ensure that their advice and their oversight is as effective as possible.

Dr. Kaufmann codified the extent of "state capture" and "legal corruption" through a survey of enterprises in over 100 countries, starting in 2004. The extent of capture afflicting the U.S. was very high; it not only rated well below other industrialized countries, but found itself among the bottom half worldwide. Dr. Kaufmann's coined expression "legal corruption" - enormous "money in politics" by powerful interests which are changing the rules for their own benefit and to the detriment of competitive small and medium small businesses - privatization of public policy.
