Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

Hitherto the organization of international business has been studied mostly from a managerial point of view or by examining the relationship between firms and the economy. Yet the development of the modern multinational firm - the most important type of business organisation - has been strongly influenced by the conflicts that bedeviled the twentieth century. The volatile macroeconomic and political environments experienced by international business point to how important it is to study political risk. Consequently Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change: From Total War to Cold War breaks new ground: it argues that non-market elements and historical context are key to understanding the way international business has been organised. This edited volume offers an historical approach to analysing how multinational enterprise has developed over time and around the world through a series of well-crafted chapters on important topics in international economic and business history written by authorities in their respective fields of study and research. The study is based on the underlying premise that the coming of the two World Wars the devastating and long-term consequences of such total wars and the ideological challenge of the Cold War acted as a pivot points in shaping the nature and character of multinational firms. By examining such phenomena this study offers insights to anyone who has an interest in business economic or political history management and business studies or international relations. | Multinational Enterprise Political Risk and Organisational Change From Total War to Cold War

Asylums Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates

Asylums Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates

A total institution is defined by Goffman as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life. Prisons serve as a clear example providing we appreciate that what is prison-like about prisons is found in institutions whose members have broken no laws. This volume deals with total institutions in general and mental hospitals in particular. The main focus is on the world of the inmate not the world of the staff. A chief concern is to develop a sociological version of the structure of the self. Each of the essays in this book were intended to focus on the same issue-the inmate's situation in an institutional context. Each chapter approaches the central issue from a different vantage point each introduction drawing upon a different source in sociology and having little direct relation to the other chapters. This method of presenting material may be irksome but it allows the reader to pursue the main theme of each paper analytically and comparatively past the point that would be allowable in chapters of an integrated book. If sociological concepts are to be treated with affection each must be traced back to where it best applies followed from there wherever it seems to lead and pressed to disclose the rest of its family. | Asylums Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates

The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

The primary era of this study - the twentieth century - symbolizes the peak of the colonial rule and its total decline as well as the rise of the new nation state of India. The processes that have been labeled 'westernization' and 'modernization' radically changed middle-class Indian life during the century. This book describes and explains the various technological political and social developments that shaped one building type - the bungalow - contemporaneous to the development of modern Indian history during the period of British rule and its subsequent aftermath. Drawing on their own physical and photographic documentation and building on previous work by Anthony King and the Desais the authors show the evolution of the bungalow's architecture from a one storey building with a verandah to the assortment of house-forms and their regional variants that are derived from the bungalow. Moreover the study correlates changes in society with architectural consequences in the plans and aesthetics of the bungalow. It also examines more generally what it meant to be modern in Indian society as the twentieth century evolved. | The Bungalow in Twentieth-Century India The Cultural Expression of Changing Ways of Life and Aspirations in the Domestic Architecture of Col

Water Infrastructure

Water Infrastructure

Water infrastructure is an essential element in water management. Together with institutions policies and regulation it provides basic services to growing populations especially in developing countries where much of the growth is taking place. In the Asia-Pacific region for instance populations are growing not only in size but also in affluence straining further the existing infrastructure and demanding urgently the development of a new one. While 79% of total water use in Asia occurs in agriculture the fastest increases in demand are emanating from industry and from urban areas. This trend is a natural consequence of the fastest industrialization and urbanization process in history. By 2030 more than 55% of Asia’s population will live in urban areas an increase of 1. 1 billion people. Nevertheless water infrastructure is of concern not only in the global South but also in the North where much of the drinking-water infrastructure needs upgrading or replacement a significant undertaking as infrastructure is more than a hundred years old in many cases. The American Water Works Association estimates that changing all of the water pipes in the United States would cost more than USD 1 trillion. In this book in-depth case studies on water infrastructure challenges and policy solutions are presented from different parts of the world. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.

Public Infrastructure Performance in Developing Countries

Public Infrastructure Performance in Developing Countries

This title was first published in 2000: An investigation of the performance of the electric power and telecommunication sectors of Pakistan at the firm level as well as the sector as a whole seeking to identify and quantify the extent of inefficiencies. Since physical or financial or productivity indicators alone are not able to explain the duality of public infrastructure purposes the financial and productivity indicators have been used in evaluating the performance of these sectors. Further a Cobb-Douglas production function has also been used to calculate the trend in the growth of total factor productivity. Economies of scale have also been studied in the case of electric power generation. The results of the study show that in Pakistan one of the usual motives for privatization (to avoid the poor financial results of state enterprises) is not relevant for electricity and telecommunications enterprises. This however appears to be due to the financial subsidies they received through access to low cost loan finance and grants rather than to their efficiency in operations. By the economic criteria of growth of TFP none of the enterprises do well and two have a negative TFP growth. The case for reforming these enterprises is strong and alternative modes of organization finance and ownership need to be considered. | Public Infrastructure Performance in Developing Countries

Mineral Resource Governance and Human Development in Ghana

Mineral Resource Governance and Human Development in Ghana

This book investigates how mineral resources can be governed to promote people-centred development in Ghana focusing on the three main human development variables: living standards education and health. Ghana is endowed with abundant mineral resources. The mineral sector accounts for about 14% of total tax revenue driven mostly by an increase in export earnings from the gold sector and the commencement of crude oil exports. However the country has not yet been able to use its natural resources to promote human development and the majority of the population still lives on less than $2 a day. This book argues for a paradigm shift in the discussion of mineral resources one that looks to govern natural resources in such a way as to improve standards of living health education income levels empowerment quality of work and threats from violence. The human-centred mineral resource governance approach developed by this book will not only be useful to Ghana but can also be applied to other mineral-rich countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This book will be important to upper-level students and researchers of natural resource management international development and African studies as well as to NGOs practitioners and policymakers who recognise the importance of linking natural resources income to human development. | Mineral Resource Governance and Human Development in Ghana

Routledge Handbook on Capital Punishment

Routledge Handbook on Capital Punishment

Capital punishment is one of the more controversial subjects in the social sciences especially in criminal justice and criminology. Over the last decade or so the United States has experienced a significant decline in the number of death sentences and executions. Since 2007 eight states have abolished capital punishment bringing the total number of states without the death penalty to 19 plus the District of Columbia and more are likely to follow suit in the near future (Nebraska reinstated its death penalty in 2016). Worldwide 70 percent of countries have abolished capital punishment in law or in practice. The current trend suggests the eventual demise of capital punishment in all but a few recalcitrant states and countries. Within this context a fresh look at capital punishment in the United States and worldwide is warranted. The Routledge Handbook on Capital Punishment comprehensively examines the topic of capital punishment from a wide variety of perspectives. A thoughtful introductory chapter from experts Bohm and Lee presents a contextual framework for the subject matter and chapters present state-of-the-art analyses of a range of aspects of capital punishment grouped into five sections: (1) Capital Punishment: History Opinion and Culture; (2) Capital Punishment: Rationales and Religious Views; (3) Capital Punishment and Constitutional Issues; (4) The Death Penalty’s Administration; and (5) The Death Penalty’s Consequences. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons penology criminal justice criminology and related subjects and is also an essential reference for academics and practitioners working in prison service or in related agencies.

Disaster Relief in the Asia Pacific Agency and Resilience

Disaster Relief in the Asia Pacific Agency and Resilience

A UN report recently found that the Asia Pacific is the world’s most disaster-prone region. Indeed considering that the region accounts for more than half of the total number of disasters in the world building capacity and resilience to mitigate the devastating impact of disasters is a pressing task for local actors. This book takes a regional multidisciplinary and multi-actor approach to improve understandings of how various actors respond to natural and human-induced disasters in the Asia-Pacific region. It examines the ideas and activities of four different categories of agents: civil society; military and state institutions; local cultural knowledge and the media; and economic initiatives and these themes are approached from various academic disciplines ranging from anthropology and cultural studies to economics human geography and political science. The contributors draw their findings from a variety of countries in the region including China Fiji India Indonesia Japan Myanmar and Samoa and importantly focus on the interconnection between vulnerability and resilience. In turn the book highlights how the nature and magnitude of disasters are influenced by social conditions and aims to contribute to policies that prioritize development opportunities to enhance resilience. Further it explores the complicated and multifaceted role of agency in building resilience and presents a comparative framework for analysis and key findings from the Asia-Pacific region. The focus of this book on recent and ongoing disasters makes it a topical and timely contribution to the growing field of disaster management and as such it will appeal to students and scholars of environmental studies development studies and Asian politics. | Disaster Relief in the Asia Pacific Agency and Resilience

A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community

A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community

The conventional view of religion is that the basic truths were settled long ago that all we have to do is to accept them and behave accordingly. Essentially then there is no room for originality. To be religious we have to be followers adherents to be convinced addicted to be in a position to say: we are right you are wrong. In A Vast Bundle of Opportunities originally published in 1975 Kenneth Barnes maintains that this is a sterile condition of mind. Religion is not a separate kind of experience; it includes our whole selves and all that we do. It follows that if art and science can be creative and originative so also must religion be if it is real. If it is the Christian religion we are thinking of then to try to ‘imitate’ Jesus is to kill him stone dead. To make him an ideal is to put him away. But to respond to him is to come alive as creators and originators. The writer as the founder of an unusual kind of boarding school – Wennington School Wetherby – knows what it is like to live in the midst of incessant enterprising activity; in his own life he knows what it feels like to be a scientist an artist a craftsman. He asks if there are ways we can deliberately choose by which we can become originators. He takes the philosophy of John Macmurrray to show what freedom could mean to us and the more recent writings of Arthur Koestler and Edouard de Bono to suggest that the obvious development of creativeness in science can be encouraged in the total approach to life and human problems. Life then becomes an experience of endless discovery a continual opening up of possibilities. | A Vast Bundle of Opportunities An Exploration of Creativity in Personal Life and Community

The Age of Happy Problems

The Age of Happy Problems

In his first book of non-fiction originally published in 1962 Herbert Gold explores some not-so-happy problems confronting people in an age of mass destruction mass inertia mass everything. While acknowledging that we live in a time of utmost global significance-war on an enormous scale was a reality of the twentieth century and continues to threaten unadulterated evil has exhibited itself in grandiose proportions-Gold tackles issues and problems which are very much of significance to the individual: teaching writing love marriage divorce and death. In The Age of Happy Problems Gold takes the reader through a journey of eclectic characters situations and locales. Part I is a selection of essays entitled American Events. In The Age of Happy Problems we are presented with an analysis of the problems facing people in the middle of their lives and careers. How to Be an Artist's Wife explores the prospect of being married and remaining married to a temperamental and egotistical artist. Divorce as a Moral Act describes the termination of marriage as a means for renewal and the chance to start over again the search for love. The Bachelor's Dilemma evokes the decisions confronting the male of the big city. And A Dog in Brooklyn A Girl in Detroit: A Life Among the Humanities is a memoir on the paradoxes of teaching in a university. Part II is entitled American Places. The author examines in this section various American lifestyles. In Paris: Notes from La Vie de Boheme Gold describes Americans abroad why they decide to become expatriates and how they adapt to their new surroundings. In Greenwich Village: The Changing Village he writes about the importance of New York City's symbol of change experiment and nonconformity. Finally the author meditates on Death in Miami Beach offering a moving account of the relationship between death and the popular Florida city. Gold writes: How can I total it up? What is the map of the map? Well to begin with Plato was wrong. The life of contemplation is not sufficient. and for another thing Plato was right. He knew that men must learn to come together in the practice of intelligence and moral privilege. Gold's essays stemming from the author's own humanity are just as poignant and relevant today as they were when they were first published. The Age of Happy Problems is sure to captivate but perhaps most of all make the reader contemplate the importance of these issues for his or her own life.
