Etarh, Franklin. "US Model of Democratic Governance and China's Model of Authoritarian Capitalism : Africans' Perception of these Transnational Political Processes of Governance." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Malmö högskola, Institutionen för globala politiska studier (GPS), 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-42876.
Full textAbstract:
As the debate on greater socio-economic rights promulgated by China’s model of authoritarian capitalism or greater human rights and freedom championed by the US model of democratic governance continues to spread across developing countries, this thesis investigates how Africans perceive these two transnational political processes. This is an exploratory sequential mixed method research with data collected through an expert interview of 10 participants from 7 African countries and the quantitative data gotten from Afrobarometer Round 8 survey. This study permitted us to establish that the perception of Africans of these models of governance are shaped by the indicators of human rights and freedom and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). The results of the study suggest that Africans perceive positively the US model of democratic governance on the promotion of human rights and Africans also perceive positively the impact of Western democratic countries’ FDI on the non-elite actors in Africa because of their level of transparency and accountability. On the other hand, the study suggests that Africans view negatively China’s model on both human rights as well as FDI. This is because of China’s disregard for human rights and principles of good governance in her interaction with African countries. Chinese FDI turn to profit the political elite class the more because of their lack of transparency and accountability. China’s model helps to perpetuate human rights violation and authoritarianism in Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays criminals often operate transnationally and their illicit behaviour is also perceived as a threat by countries not directly affected by their crimes. Criminal law is increasingly influenced by supranational instruments, the "deterritorialisation" of criminal norms has been theorised and the "transnational criminal law}} (TCL) concept has been introduced. However, national prosecutors are still limited by difficulties in crossing the boundaries of national jurisdictions to combat transnational crimes. The concept of transnational criminal law has been elaborated but is missing a related enforcement mechanism. The Westphalian concept of State sovereignty has been rethought, but extraterritorial prosecution of criminals is still undertaken in a nonharmonic manner. Scholars are often engaged in justifying the extraterritorial practices of States within the international principles on jurisdiction and in elaborating strategies to limit the risk of conflict of jurisdiction between states. This thesis aims to bypass such an approach and address the needs of national prosecutors in acting transnationally. In the globalised world, it is not necessary to limit extraterritorial assertions of States but instead to transform them into a harmonic and shared method for transnational repressions. International common interest in repressing transnational behaviours and the existence of transnational crimes identified by criminal suppression conventions are the bases for such a method. This thesis develops a possible model to strengthen the protection of transnational interests and to harmonise States' extraterritorial practice within an effectiveness approach. The model does not require any international convention but rather the introduction in each jurisdiction of an innovative connection criterion on transnational crimes. Such a criterion will be related to offences already criminalised by international conventions and will be the enforcement mechanism TCL still lacks.

Panţîru, Maria-Cristina. "An integrated strings model of transnational advocacy : case studies from Romania and the United Kingdom." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2011. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6342/.
Full textAbstract:
Studies of transnational advocacy mainly explore separate processes – e.g. the use of persuasion, socialization, leverage, incentives and penalties – through which specific actors influence policy and law at national and transnational levels. These processes can be seen as strings pulled by the actors involved in order to promote their aims. However, the existing literature stops short of explaining the dynamics of advocacy across time, the number of strings necessary for inducing change and the failure of advocacy. In order to address these shortcomings this thesis analyses the interactions between various processes that constitute transnational advocacy and proposes a conceptual model – labelled the integrated strings model of advocacy – to facilitate the understanding of the dynamics of advocacy. This model suggests that transnational advocacy is constituted by the following interlinked processes, labelled stages and strings in order to emphasize their dynamics: - The stages are: the making of pilot or past solutions-in-practice, problematization, the development of a common frame for possible solutions, the creation of solutions-on-paper and the making of solutions-in-practice; - These stages are constituted by six strings: the creation of social enterprises, the use of expertise, regulations, technology, the formation of alliances and the marketization of ideas and services. This model provides a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of advocacy than the existing literature and explains why some advocacy processes were successful while other failed. The model is illustrated through three case studies of advocacy focused on: (a) heritage conservation and sustainable development in Romania; (b) children's rights in Romania; and (c) access to the UK' labour market for Romanian migrants in Britain. The integrated model was developed through empirical multi-sited research conducted in Romania and the UK. My methodology was influenced by multi-sited ethnography (Marcus 1998), grounded theory (Strauss and Corbin 1990) and actor-network theory (Callon 1986; Latour 2005).

Full textAbstract:
Dynamic networking is a key factor for successful transnational organizations. The transcultural shift is a critical process that can enable cultural hybridization so as to inspire consensual identity and learning aptitude amongst worldwide members. The Global Learning Organization (GLO) model is re-conceptualized to bring about this cultural shift. E-learning seems an appropriate tool to generate effective transcultural communication for both culture and learning perspectives under the GLO model. A qualitative case study using document analysis and interviews is conducted to understand how transcultural communication is generated via e-learning under the GLO model in two fields. Findings reveal that firstly, trust is a core element in generating transcultural communication and the combination of face to face and e-learning can enable trust to be activated and developed. Secondly, the way to build trust varies depending on task characteristics: the detail-oriented tasks require more intense face to face communication than the concept-focused tasks. This study illustrates that design of various mixed learning pattern with strategies to build trust through the affective dimension will be key for the successful GLO.

For example, the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AU Convention) obligate their member states to have both legal and institutional frameworks for effectively fighting corruption.

It has been 50 years since the notion of the model minority was first used to describe Asian Americans in the United States (Petersen, 1966). In the past decade, there has been substantial scholarly growth in the model minority research, and researchers have identified racism hidden behind the notion. However, previous research has mainly addressed the model minority stereotype in the regional context with similar research topics that produce similar findings, which requires a new research paradigm to be established. To meet this theoretical and contextual need, this study locates the model minority discourse in postcolonialism, especially in the context of Empire as global sovereign power with no concrete form, viewing the model minority stereotype as Empire’s controlling strategy that ethnicizes all Asians on the globe into its “global capitalist hierarchy” (Hardt & Negri, 2000). Empirically, this study examines how the model minority stereotype is shaped, developed, and ingrained in the transnational experience of Asian international graduate students who pursue careers in the United States after their degree completion as a bridge to their future. Findings from participants’ narratives show that they became aware of their Asianness through their transnational experience and gradually embraced the hardworking image of Asians through repeated environmental and interactional input of the image. Participants also expected higher economic and social status in their home countries as a result of their degrees and work experience obtained in the United States, with Orientalist values people in their home countries attach to their U.S.-earned credentials. Asian intellectuals educated in the West, represented by the United States, serve Empire’s capitalist maintenance and expansion as a transnational workforce while seeking their self-interest and transnational competitiveness. This raises an interdisciplinary and intersectional need to empower higher education to be critically aware of the current context of Empire and globalization.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes an agency model for headquarters
subsidiary relationships in multinational organizations with headquarters as the principal and the subsidiary as the agent. As a departure from classical agency theory, our model is developed for the unit level of analysis and
considers two root causes of the agency problem - self-interest and bounded rationality.
We argue that in the organizational setting, one cannot assume absolute self-interest and perfect rationality of agents (subsidiaries) but should allow them to vary. We explain subsidiary level variation through a set of internal organizational and external social conditions in which the headquarters-subsidiary agency dyad is embedded. We then discuss several agency scenarios reflecting various levels of selfinterest and rationality that lead to different manifestations of the agency problem. The proposed framework can inform more relevant applications of the agency perspective in organizational studies and motivate future research.

This research intends to open a global debate on the current strong link between migration and prostitution on the basis of the reality observed in Palermo in the timespan 2015-2017. The main three elements emerging from the analysis are criminality, poverty and exploitation.
As data suggests, Italy is the favorite destination of the Nigerian sexual exploitation market. In particular, Sicily plays a major role in the sexual exploitation ring involving Nigerian migrants, besides headquartering the Italian as well the Nigerian mafia. The agreement between Cosa Nostra (Sicilian Mafia) and the two organizations known as Black Axe and Eye (Nigerian mafia) represents the starting point for sexual exploitation of Nigerian girls (minors as well as adults).
The social and cultural degradation, along with the limited presence of the Italian State in some neighborhood, contributed to the creation of what hereby I call the “Republic of Ballarò”, an outlaw area in the city of Palermo, ruled by the joint venture of the Nigerian-Sicilan mafias.

It is in this criminal context that the Nigeria-Italy transnational sexual exploitation market flourishes.

Marchildon, Miguel. "An Application of the Gravity Model to International Trade in Narcotics." Thesis, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/37258.
Full textAbstract:
The transnational traffic of narcotics has had undeniable impacts on international development, for instance, stagnant economic growth in Myanmar (Chin, 2009), unsustainable agricultural practices in Yemen (Robins, 2016), and human security threats in Columbia (Thoumi, 2013). Furthermore, globalization is a catalyst for the transnational narcotics traffic (Robins, 2016; Aas, 2007; Kelly, Maghan & Serio, 2005). Several qualitative studies exist on the transnational narcotics traffic, yet few quantitative studies examine the issue. There is thus an opportunity for novel quantitative studies on the general question: “what are the main economic factors that influence the transnational traffic of narcotics between countries?” This study looked at the specific question: “are distance and economic size correlated with the volume of narcotics traffic between countries?” This study chose the gravity model as it centres on bilateral trade (Tinbergen, 1962), accounts for trade barriers (Kalirajan, 2008) and is empirically robust (Anderson 2011). This study defined a basic functional gravity model relating a proxy of the narcotics traffic to distance and economic size. Four augmented functional gravity models were also advanced to address omitted variable bias. The research was limited conceptually to cross sectional and pooled time series data. In addition, the data was also limited practically to a convenience sample of secondary data drawn from: the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) (2016a) Individual Drug Seizures (IDS); the World Bank’s (2016) World Development Indicators; and the CEPII’s GeoDist (2016) datasets. This study used a novel “dosage” approach to unit standardization to overcome the challenge posed by the many measures and forms of narcotics. The study used the Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator as its estimations of the gravity model are consistent (Gourieroux et al., 1984), allow heteroscedasticity (Silva & Tenreyro, 2006) and avoid back transformation bias (Cox et al., 2008). The evidence analyzed in this study seem to indicate that the gravity model may not be applicable in its current form to the transnational narcotics traffic among countries that report drug seizures to the UNODC. However, the sampling method and the choice of proxy are likely to influence these findings. Moreover, the low explanatory power of the gravity model for the narcotics traffic, reflected in the values of the pseudo-R-squared coefficient of determination, indicates that other factors are at play. For instance, authors such as Asad and Harris (2003) and Thoumi (2003) argue that institutions could be a key factor in the narcotics traffic. Future empirical research into this topic could build on the theses findings to introduce new proxies and to explore alternate theoretical frameworks.

Full textAbstract:
The international community routinely implements embargoes in an effort to restrict the flow of small arms and light weapons into politically unstable regions. The effectiveness of sanctions fall into question when reports indicate that weapons continue to pour into embargoed territories. Using stochastic actor-based modeling, the current study investigates how shipment patterns change over time, and how trade patterns evolve in the presence of endogenous influences, such as embargoes, while controlling for corruption levels and national wealth (e.g., gross domestic product). The analysis here indicated that embargoes did have an effect in diverting illicit weapons trade through indirect ties. This was seen highest during the embargo implementation period and post embargo implementation period. The results stand to improve our understanding of this complex illegal global market and the role national control of corruption and gross domestic product play in the enforceability of these sanctions. In the final analysis what was discovered was that embargoes do effect change in the illegal arms trade network. This effect is seen in the form of indirect ties to end user countries. This suggests that improvements to policies and regulation on transshipment points need to be highly scrutinized.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo oferecer uma reflexão acerca da necessidade de desenvolvimento institucional dos espaços públicos no mundo globalizado. Para tanto, pretende-se enxergar quais são as perspectivas teóricas oferecidas por Nancy Fraser e como suas ideias podem ser observadas na prática através de um estudo crítico da Comissão para o Status da Mulher (CSW) da ONU. Em um primeiro momento, busca-se fazer um estudo do modelo de justiça global construído por Nancy Fraser em sua obra acadêmica, analisando as categorias de redistribuição, reconhecimento e representação como defendidas pela autora e em contraste com outros autores que dialogam nesta área. Este assunto é dividido em dois capítulos. Um primeiro onde se observa a proposta de integração entre redistribuição e reconhecimento e os problemas decorrentes desta relação e um segundo no qual se busca aprofundar as questões de representação de primeira e segunda ordem à luz de uma nova conjuntura política provocada pelo desgaste do enquadramento institucional vestfaliano e da soberania estatal para resolver problemas de justiça social em decorrência do fenômeno da globalização. No segundo momento, o trabalho pretende investigar a operacionalidade do modelo defendido por Fraser buscando vislumbrá-lo no processo e nos produtos da Comissão para o Status da Mulher (CSW) da ONU, indagando em que medida este espaço reflete uma nova proposta de enquadramento para o conhecimento, a discussão e a decisão de demandas de modo democrático e se - e como - ocorre a integração de políticas de redistribuição, reconhecimento e representação de primeira ordem nas decisões tomadas por este órgão.

For such, it is intended to see which are the theoretical perspectives offered by Nancy Fraser and how her ideas can be observed in practice through a critical study on the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) of the UN. In a first moment, it aims to make a study of the model of justice constructed by Nancy Fraser in her academic production, analyzing the categories of redistribution, recognition and representation as defined by the author and in contrast with other authors that dialog in this area. This subject is divided in two chapters. A first where it is observed the proposal of integration between redistribution and recognition and the resulting problems of this relation and a second in which is aimed to deepen the question of representation in both first and second orders in the light of a new political conjuncture triggered by the detrition of the Westphalian institutional framing and of the state sovereignty to solve the problems of social justice provoked by the phenomenon of globalization. At the second moment, this work intends to investigate the operability of the model defended by Fraser trying to behold it in the process and in the products of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) of the UN, inquiring in what measure is there a new proposal of framing for the acknowledgment, the discussion and the decision of claims in a democratic way and if - and how - occurs the integration of politics of redistribution, recognition and representation of first order in the decisions taken by this organ.

Full textAbstract:
This study is concerned with the concept of internationalisation as a tool for disadvantaged minorities to affect change in their situation. This phenomenon has been studied widely with respect to authoritarian regimes and later on with liberal Western democracies. The current study has focussed on the state of Israel and the situation of its Palestinian Arab minority to investigate the origins and purposes of internationalisation, the extent to which these efforts have achieved the objectives that were set, and whether this process is in any sense capable of achieving them. The analysis shows that the internationalisation process whereby the Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel sought to reclaim their rights by invoking the support of the international community has emerged in the 1950s. It came to be perceived as necessary because internal legal and political processes were understood to be insufficient to achieve any redress for their grievances.
The Arab leadership in Israel articulates internationalisation as a strategy designed to invoke the norms of democracy to question the conduct of successive Israeli governments, and counter the narrative offered by them on the world stage. The internationalisation strategy is seen to undergo a profound transformation from public memoranda, to civil and legal advocacy by invoking international conventions and treaties and finally to personal diplomacy. The results show that it is not a zero sum game; it is an especially effective method in different ways and with varying degrees of success. It created an extension of the critique of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories to its Palestinian minority. Using the international law in the modality of legal advocacy to compel the Israeli state to adhere to the commitments it had made by acceding to an international convention, proved more effective than mere political pressure. Another factors such as the nature of the claims, geopolitical circumstances, global momentum, and domestic politics are crucial as well for the success of the internationalisation. Yet, Israel’s response varied in particular cases to minimise external critics, and its respect for the international law was uttered by utilitarian justification to protect its reputation.
The application of the social constructivist boomerang-spiral model to the process of internationalisation is deemed to be a particularly effective instrument to explore both the potential and the limits of the process of compelling the Israeli state to conform to internationally supported norms. The results of this study demonstrate that the construction of the state’s identity as a Jewish and concerns over national security are potentially in conflict with the egalitarian democratic norms that it claims to be governed by. The implications of these two elements for the operation of the Israeli state has resulted in a failure to fully integrate its Arab citizens. The Nation-State Law of 2018 reinforces the legal and systematic discrimination against the Palestinians in Israel and explains why internationalisation has not been successful.

It is the first comprehensive investigation into a selected series of case studies that document international appeals made by Israel’s Arab elite due to three chronological periods: 1948-1979, 1992- 2013 and 2015 onwards. On a theoretical level, it is the first time that the spiral model has been tested in the context of Israel and its Arab minority. This can serve as a strategic information source for Arab MKs, NGOs and Israeli decision makers.

Background : Globalisation has led company to think globally and act locally. Such a change in the business world have made emerge the need to find partner around the world, and even to merge with complementary companies in order to sustain the corporate strategic advantage and to create value.
Purpose : The objective of this paper is to integrate major Merger & Acquisitions theories in order to establish a warning model pointing out the main pitfalls changing promising motivations into failed implementation in the process of Merger & Acquisition. Such a model will aim at preventing managers engaged in a transnational horizontal merger from the potential hazards leading to value destruction.
Delimitations : We choose to focus on the transnational merger because it should play with different national management and with the consequent variance in cultural distance ; the human and social context appears more clearly as fundamentally variable when a merger involves different sensibilities.
Results : After having integrated the main theoretical finding into a holistic framework which enabled us to shape a warning model we tested successfully in case of Pharmacia-Upjohn merger, which aims at analysing the general risks of one strategic merger or/and the following implementation process.

Full textAbstract:
Given the international status and importance of English, English language study has attracted millions of Chinese learners. Apart from those who study abroad, more and more Chinese students are motivated to study in English-medium Transnational Higher Education (THE) programmes inside China. English is a diversifying and fragmenting language that has various functions and can be used for different purposes. Whilst, according to many scholars, English has broken free from the ownership of ‘native English’ speakers, Chinese learners of English are still worried about conforming to ‘native-speaker models’ of English and so falling victim to an English linguistic imperialism project, driven by English-medium THE programmes. Accordingly, this research sets out to investigate, the extent to which Chinese learners, in a UK affiliated THE programme in China, feel the need to orientate to or identify with ‘native English’ and its speakers, and run the risk of becoming victims of English linguistic imperialism. Results from a combination of methods: questionnaires, focus group discussions and interviews, show that students’ orientations towards and identification with English and its speakers are diverse, complex and multi-dimensional, and have gone beyond affiliation with ‘native English’ speakers. Studying in English-medium THE programmes does not necessarily lead to English linguistic imperialism, but is a process of interaction where learners may consciously mediate ‘native English’ norms and express individual, local, national or international identities, literally taking advantage of the programmes’ material benefits and deliberately learning the language for international communication. This research suggests that learners in THE programmes are conscious of the overall context individually, nationally and internationally and feel free to orientate to English in ways that are suitable for their own purposes and which represent their preferred identity.

Au sortir de l'époque maoïste, le Parti communiste chinois a cherché à s’appuyer sur une bureaucratie plus compétente pour réussir le développement économique dans un contexte de stabilité politique. Les réformes ont concerné le recrutement, la gestion et l'organisation d’encadrement des fonctionnaires, mais aussi leur formation, dans l’objectif de renforcer leurs compétences. L'introduction en 1999 du Master in Public Administration (MPA) en milieu universitaire valorise la scientificité du savoir administratif, sans abandonner les dispositifs et les critères de sélection préexistants. À la lumière d’une mise en perspective historique, de l’analyse de la circulation transnationale de modèle éducatif et de l’étude de la modernisation de la bureaucratie, le MPA se révèle être l’instrument d’une double transformation, celle de l’enseignement supérieur et celle de l’administration chinoise contemporaine. Le MPA accompagne et rend possible la modernisation du pays, en permettant à l’enseignement supérieur d’introduire de nouvelles pratiques, à l'État-Parti de réformer l’administration sans rupture et aux agents du secteur public d’acquérir des ressources valorisables, quel que soit le scénario de transformationChanging nothing to change everything: innovation and continuity in the reforms of Chinese administrative training — At the end of the Maoist era, the Communist Party of China (CPC) attempted to create a more highly‑skilled bureaucracy to achieve economic development in a stable political context. Reforms concerned not just recruitment, management and civil service organization, but also the training of officials in order to improve their skills. The introduction of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) in 1999 enhanced the scientific character of administrative knowledge while pre‑existing selective mechanisms were retained. The MPA supports the country’s modernization by enabling the State‑Party to undertake continuous reform of public administration. It allows as well the emergence of a new ethos and a community of vision among the new generation of civil servants, whose competences are adjustable to several possible political scenarios

The main aim of European economic integration is to reach the common market of goods, services, persons and capital. To make this aim easier to realize in terms of free movement of capital, European Commission has created the statute of the European company (Societas Europaea, SE) as a new institute and corporate vehicle on the supranational level. The paper offers information about creation of the European company according to Comunitary and Czech national law and its corporate structure and mentions several concrete cases of company creation or transformation. The end of the study is dedicated to an analysis of the current usage of European company and advantages and disadvantages of this legal form of trading company together with a summary of current experience with the existence of European company and with the possible future of transnational companies within European Union.

Full textAbstract:
During the nineteenth century an unprecedented number of emigrants left Britain, primarily for America, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Recent historical scholarship has argued that these predominantly Victorian mass migrations belong to an even larger history of “Anglo” migration, characterized by its global reach and ideological investment in settlement. Situating my approach in relation to this wider framework, this thesis argues that Victorian periodicals played a key and overlooked role in both imagining and mediating the dramatic phenomenon of mass British settler emigration. As I argue in chapter 1, this is both owing to close historical and material links between settler emigration and the periodical press, and to the periodical’s deeper running capacities to register and moderate forms of modern motion. While most novels do little to engage with emigration, turning to periodicals brings to light a large range of distinct settler emigration texts and genres which typically work with cohesive spatio-temporal models to offset the destabilizing potentiality of emigrant mobility. Moreover, many now canonical texts originally published in periodicals can be situated alongside them; presenting opportunities to produce fresh readings of works by Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope and others which I incorporate throughout. My first three chapters focus on settler emigration genres which circulated across a range of mainstream, predominantly middle-class periodicals: texts about emigrant voyages, emigration-themed Christmas stories, and serialized novels about colonial settlement. I argue that these texts are cohesive and reassuring, and thus of a different character to the adventure stories often associated with Victorian empire. The second part of my thesis aims to capitalize on the diversity and range which is a key feature of Victorian periodicals by turning to settler emigration texts that embody a feminized or radical perspective, and which often draw upon mainstream representations in order to challenge their dominant formations.

Il se focalise sur leur mode de création et de fonctionnement par l'étude en profondeur de quatre cas. La volonté de coopérer, explicitée à l'aide des variables de confiance, d'intérêt à coopérer et d'engagement, est utilisée pour étudier le type d'AC choisi. La thèse comporte six chapitres : les trois premiers définissent la PME et l' AC européens d'un point de vue conceptuel, théorique et taxinamique. Un chapitre "choix méthodologiques" présente la démarche de recherche. Les chapitres "analyse" et "conclusions de la recherche" mettent en évidence plusieurs enseignements : l'étude de la volonté de coopérer dans le contexte retenu révèle que l'intérêt à coopérer et la confiance sont des variables perceptuelles, partiellement rationalisées par les acteurs et évolutives. Elles influencent l'engagement, concrétisation d'une volonté de coopérer. Elles sont à la fois résultats et pré-conditions de l'AC, l'intérêt à coopérer considère l'intérêt individuel et collectif, la confiance s'exprime à des niveaux personnels et inter-personnels ; ces deux variables peuvent aussi être facteurs d'échec de l'AC. Nous constatons de plus que la forme de l'AC révèle une recherche de souplesse et de flexibilité ; les dirigeants raisonnent en termes de régions plus qu'en terme de nations ; un comportement oppportuniste dans le type d' AC analysé n'a pas été vérifié. La devenir de l'AC est une création collective d'acteurs internes et externes ; la réussite ou l'échec de l'AC ne peuvent uniquement s'expliquer par la durabilité ou la cessation de l'ACThe aim of this thesis is the study of transnational cooperation agreements between european SME managers. Their setting-up and functioning are analysed through four case studies. Four variables have been used to study the process : the will to cooperate explained by the interest in cooperating, trust and commitment. The thesis has six chapters. The first three define the european SME and cooperation agreements from a conceptual, theoretical and classification point of view. The fourth describes the qualitative inductive approach we have selected. The last two chapters focus on the analysis of the data collected and the generation of a substantial theory. The results show that the interest in cooperating and trust are perceptual, partially rationalized variables that influence commitment. They are both results and prerequisites. Collective and individual interests as well as personal and mutual trust have to be considered. These two variables can also be deleterious factors. Other results are the search for flexibility a regional rather than a national approach, the non oppotunistic behaviour of the managers involved, the co-influence of partners and other actors, the lack of correlation between durability and success, cessation and failure of the cooperation agreements that have been studied

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a viabilidade de aplicação do instrumento de Mandado de Detenção Europeu (que foi criado em decorrência da quebra de fronteiras gerada com integração regional europeia, União Europeia) no bloco de integração regional latino-americano, MERCOSUL, tendo em vista ser um instrumento substitutivo do Instituto extradicional aplicado no âmbito criminal. Em um primeiro momento é tratado o fenômeno da globalização, da integração regional e sua repercussão no universo criminal, observando-se o surgimento de uma nova modalidade criminal, qual seja a criminalidade transnacional. Em decorrência dessa criminalidade transnacional, que abrange mais de um território nacional é estudado o desenvolvimento de uma cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal entre os países, com a finalidade de combater a impunidade. Assim, faz-se um paralelo sobre cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal nos blocos de integração regional: União Europeia e MERCOSUL. Adiante, analisa-se o mandado de detenção europeu, seu surgimento na União Europeia e o papel do principio do reconhecimento mutuo na aplicação desse instituto. Por fim, examina-se a possibilidade, enfim, de aplicação desse instituto no bloco do MERCOSUL.This study aims to examine the application of the instrument of the European Arrest Warrant (which was created as a result of the breach of boundaries generated with European regional integration, European Union) in the block of regional integration in Latin America, MERCOSUR considering it as a substitute for the extraditional institute instrument, which is applied in international criminal justice as a cooperation instrument. At first the phenomenon of globalization, regional integration and their impact on the criminal universe is analyzed. From this the emergence of a new criminal mode, transnational criminality has been observed. Because of this transnational criminality, which covers more than one country, the development of international legal cooperation in criminal matters is studied between the countries, with the aim of combating impunity. With this, a parallel on international legal cooperation in criminal matters in the blocks for regional integration is made: the European Union and MERCOSUR. Before this, it analyzes the European Arrest Warrant, the appearance and development in the European Union and the function of the principle of mutual recognition in the implementation of this institute. Finally, it examines the possibility of implementation of this institute in the MERCOSUR bloc.

In this case study four non-fiction books are being accompanied on their way from the Netherlands to the public in Sweden, that is from one peripheral language into another. Where did the initiative come from? Were there any subsidies and did that matter? What kind of publishers were involved and were there also other agents involved? Who were the most important cultural mediators? How were the books framed in order to be noticed in the new country? How does all this fit in with the sociological theory of transnational cultural transfer? It turned out that these books more or less followed the expected path with a few exceptions: Two of the books were published by large-scale publishers in Sweden although they had not proved to be successful in the Netherlands. And there were no signs of regular co-operation between the involved publishers. Obviously the translated Dutch books in Sweden are such a marginal business for these publishers that they do not influence their network of foreign publishers. Even if all four books belong to the same genre, they are very differently framed to be noticed in their new country.

Full textAbstract:
Notre culture a banalisé la lanterne publique, objet technique du quotidien urbain. Or, à la fin du XVIIIe s., la lanterne devient un véritable leitmotiv visuel et sémantique révolutionnaire.Innovation technique pour l’éclairage public au XVIIIe s., la lanterne « à réverbères » optimise l’intensité lumineuse en utilisant des artifices, les réflecteurs métalliques concaves (réverbères), afin de rationaliser le chemin optique. Si l’historiographie s’est focalisée sur la lampe d’Argand, nous avons construit notre étude autour du réflecteur, moins noble et peu valorisé. L’émergence de la nouvelle technique est intrinsèquement accompagnée de discours, d´images et de mythes qui structurent son imaginaire. La biographie d’objet est une ressource précieuse pour l’appréhender, par des prismes s’affranchissant de la distinction objet/sujet pour traiter la lanterne comme acteur et interroger ses modes d’existence.Le premier prisme porte sur la genèse de l’objet et l’inscription de son imaginaire technique comme réponse rationalisée au problème d’éclairage. Mais, interroger le sens de la technicité de l’objet n’est pas suffisant, le second prisme étudie la lanterne « en action de rue», soit sa « réticulation spatiale » et son intégration au milieu. Le troisième moment interroge les médiations transformatrices des valeurs initiales de l’objet à travers les circulations techniques (transculturelles) franco-espagnoles, et un champ de media (annonces techniques et cartes de commerce) : elles structurent la zone entre invention, publics et marchés. Enfin, le quatrième moment est consacré à la lanterne politique et ses paradoxes, basculant du double imaginaire de l’administration monarchique et du contrôle policier parisien– ou militaire barcelonais – à l’emblème révolutionnaire. Fidèle à une méthode « au ras de l’objet », nous faisons dialoguer ses fonctions symboliques avec son schème technique, pour faire ressortir les résonances – ou les déphasages– de l’imaginaire politique dans la matérialité. Nous souhaitons ainsi redonner de l’épaisseur à la lanterne, afin de retrouver son sens humain et comprendre son empreinte dans la cultureOur culture has trivialized the streetlamp and deprived it of its meanings. However, the lantern became a visual and semantic revolutionary leitmotiv at the end of the 18th c.As a technical innovation of 18th c streetlighting, the lantern à réverbères optimizes the luminous intensity by using concave metal reflectors (réverbères) to direct the beam of light where needed. If the historiography focused on the Argand’s lamp, this research deals with a far less noble and valued technical element, the reflector. The entwinement of the innovation with narratives and cultural discourses structures its imaginary: artefact biography is therefore a precious tool to approach it, by getting rid of the subject-object distinction in order to question its modes of existence.Firstly, we study the genesis of the lantern and the inscription of its technical imaginary as a rationalized answer to the lighting challenge. To continue with, we analyse the streetlamp in action and its extramaterial properties through its integration to its milieu. Processes of mediation and their transformative power are the next focus, though the study of the technical (transcultural) circulations between France and Spain, and the media of advertising and promotion (technical press, trade cards), all of which shaping the interactions between the invention, the public and the markets. We finish this survey with the political lantern and its paradox, as the artefact, strongly linked to absolute monarchy and police– or military- control, became a revolutionary emblem. By entwining the technical and symbolic functions of the streetlamp, we want to shed light upon the resonances of the political imaginary within the lantern materiality. This study therefore aims at drawing attention to the multi-layered meanings of this so-called “banal” object, and at considering the streetlamp as a significant bearer of cultural identity

La tesis explora la representación del barrio del Raval de Barcelona en el discurso periodístico informativo mediante un análisis crítico del discurso y un estudio de recepción con adolescentes que viven y/o estudian en el Raval. El análisis discursivo de 495 noticas indica que el Raval es representado como un espacio conflictivo y que los migrantes que viven allí son responsabilizados de los problemas del lugar. El estudio de recepción sugiere que los adolescentes refutan la imagen que se difunde del barrio pero evidencian también ser objeto del "efecto de la tercera persona", es decir, la percepción de que las noticias negativas sobre el Raval ejercerían una mayor influencia en quienes no viven allí. Como resultado, los participantes tienden a ocultar su lugar de residencia y evitar así ser asociados con el Raval. A partir de estos resultados, la tesis constituye un aporte para los estudios de la comunicación urbana.

Étude transnationale de l’opinion publique dans les départements de la Roër (Allemagne), de l’Ourthe (Belgique), des Forêts (Luxembourg) et de la Moselle (France)."

Full textAbstract:
Posant la question de l’enracinement napoléonien entre Rhin et Meuse (1810-1814), ce travail est, du fait de sa nature franco-allemande, différent des nombreuses études consacrées, depuis le XIXe siècle, au traitement de l’opinion publique. Il l’est également dans la mesure où il se fixe pour objectif de répondre, de manière comparative et dans un cadre transnational (France, Allemagne, Belgique, Luxembourg), à la question du rôle joué par l’opinion publique dans l’apogée du régime napoléonien (1810), puis dans son effondrement (1814). Au moyen de l’approche prônée par l’Histoire croisée, nous avons dégagé un certain nombre d’indices qui, sous l’Empire, nous semblent avoir été autant de pommes de discorde. De cette étude, il ressort tout d’abord qu’il existait des éléments structurels constituant, indépendamment de la conjoncture économique et de la politique napoléonienne, un frein à l’enracinement du nouveau régime. Il s’agit du fossé culturel et du souvenir des dominations d’Ancien Régime (Prusse, Autriche). Ensuite, les éléments relatifs à la politique (centralisation, ordre social, système économique) révèlent en quoi, indépendamment des structures et de la conjoncture, le régime napoléonien parvenait ou non à se faire progressivement accepter aussi bien des « anciens Français » que des « nouveaux Français » vivant dans les départements réunis. Enfin, les éléments conjoncturels se devaient également d’être abordés, indépendamment des précédents. Dans l’optique que soit définitivement tournée la page exagérée des histoires nationalistes, nous nous sommes attachés à écrire ce que l’on pourrait finalement considérer comme une Histoire ouest-européenne de l’opinion publique à l’époque napoléonienneOwing to its Franco-German nature, this historical study, which analyses the Napoleonic system’s implantation between Rhine and Maas (1810-1814), differs from the numerous studies devoted to public opinion since the 19th century. It is different in the sense that it innovatively sets out to address, from a comparative angle and within a transnational framework (France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg), the question of the part played by public opinion between climax (1810) and fall (1814) of the Napoleonic regime. By means of ‘Histoire croisée’, I have identified a certain number of fields which seem to have been, under the Napoleonic Empire, quite contentious issues. From this study emerges, first of all, that structural elements, independent of economic cycles and Napoleonic policies alike, curbed the new regime’s rooting. Instead, the latter was hampered both by cultural gaps and the memory of the preceding rule of the ‘Ancien Régime’ (Prussia, Austria). Second, the elements concerning the polity (centralisation, social order and economic system) reveal to what extent, independent of both structural elements and the economic situation, the Napoleonic regime succeeded, or failed to succeed, in being progressively accepted by ‘old Frenchmen’ as well as by ‘new Frenchmen’, i.e. those who had become annexed by the Republic and then found themselves being subjects of the Empire. Finally, the economic factors are addresses, independent, once again, of the previous ones. Leaving behind histories traditionally nationalist in tone, the present thesis may be considered as a Western European History on public opinion during the Napoleonic era
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage nach der napoleonischen Verwurzelung zwischen Rhein und Maas (1810-1814) und unterscheidet sich aufgrund ihrer deutsch-französischen Natur von vielen anderen historischen Studien, die sich seit dem 19. Jahrhundert mit der öffentlichen Meinung beschäftigen. Sie hebt sich auch in der Hinsicht ab, als dass sie eine neue Fragestellung verfolgt, nämlich jene nach der öffentlichen Meinung zwischen dem Höhepunkt (1810) und in dem Zusammenbruch (1814) des napoleonischen Regimes, der mit einem komparativen Ansatz und in einem transnationalen Rahmen (Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien, Luxemburg) nachgegangen wird. Mithilfe des Ansatzes der Histoire croisée wird eine Reihe Themen untersucht, welche schon unter Napoleons Empire Zankäpfel gewesen zu sein scheinen. Aus dieser Studie geht als Erstes hervor, dass einige Strukturmerkmale unabhängig von der wirtschaftlichen Konjunktur und von der napoleonischen Politik die Verwurzelung des neuen Regimes begrenzten. Hierbei geht es um kulturelle Gräben und um die Erinnerung an die vorangegangene Herrschaft der vorrevolutionären Regime (Preußen, Österreich). Als Zweites wird anhand mehrerer auf die Politik bezogener Parameter (Zentralisierung, soziale Ordnung, Wirtschaftssystem) untersucht, inwieweit es dem napoleonischen Regime gelungen ist, unabhängig von strukturellen und ökonomischen Faktoren, sowohl unter „Altfranzosen“ wie auch unter der durch französische Annektionen zu „Neufranzosen“ gewordenen Bevölkerung Akzeptanz zu finden. Darüber hinaus wurden die konjunkturell bedingten Faktoren analysiert, wiederum unabhängig von den vorigen Elementen. Im Kontrast zur stark nationalistisch geprägten Historiographie des 19. Jahrhunderts wird hier eine Arbeit vorgelegt, die als eine westeuropäische Untersuchung zur öffentlichen Meinung im napoleonischen Zeitalter Napoleons betrachtet werden darf

Full textAbstract:
Natural disasters are uniquely transformative events. They can drastically transform physical terrain and the lives of those unfortunate enough to be caught in their wrath. However, natural disasters also provide an opportunity to reflect on past failures and, at times, a clean slate to correct those shortcomings. This project takes a political economic approach and recognizes natural disasters as occasions for agenda-setting on behalf of transnational commercial enterprises and market-oriented policy elites. These reformers often use the post-disaster policy space to articulate long-term development strategies based on market fundamentalism, and, more importantly, advance a set of policies consistent with their particular interests. This dissertation delves into that process and identifies the actors, their preferences and the policy outcomes.
Using the business conflict model alongside changing transnational processes, this project identifies and traces post-disaster policy making in the Caribbean Basin. It also explores and provides a more nuanced explanation of its effect upon and within certain socioeconomic groups. What becomes apparent is that natural disasters are opportunities to first fracture national economies and then integrate them into transnational processes of capital accumulation. Given that economic viability is increasingly determined by assimilation into the global production processes, reformers in both developed and developing countries use disasters as occasions for re-orienting national economies towards this end. It is within this distorted integrative process that disaster capitalism is located.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between the three artists' workshops Røde Mor (Red Mother), Folkets Ateljé (The People's Studio) and GRAS, who worked between 1968 and 1975 in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Røde Mor was from the outset an articulated Communist graphic workshop loosely organised around collective exhibitions. It developed into a highly productive and professionalised group of artists that made posters by commission for political and social movements. Its artists developed a familiar and popular artistic language characterised by imaginative realism and socialist imagery. Folkets Ateljé, which has never been studied before, was a close knit underground group which created quick and immediate responses to concurrent political issues. This group was founded on the example of Atelier Populaire in France and is strongly related to its practices. Within this comparative study it is the group that comes closest to collective practises around 1968 outside Scandinavia, namely the democratic assembly. The silkscreen workshop GRAS stemmed from the idea of economic and artistic freedom, although socially motivated and politically involved, the group never implemented any doctrine for participation. The aim of this transnational study is to reveal common denominators to the three groups' poster art as it was produced in connection with a Scandinavian experience of 1968. By ‘1968' it is meant the period from the late 1960s till the end of the 1970s. It examines the socio-political conditions under which the groups flourished and shows how these groups operated in conjunction with the political environment of 1968. The thesis explores the relationship between political movements and the collective art making process as it appeared in Scandinavia. To present a comprehensible picture of the impact of 1968 on these groups, their artworks, manifestos, and activities outside of the collective space have been discussed. The argument has presented itself that even though these groups had very similar ideological stances, their posters and techniques differ. This has impacted the artists involved to different degrees, yet made it possible to express the same political goals. It is suggested to be linked with the Scandinavian social democracies and common experience of the radicalisation that took place mostly in the aftermath of 1968 proper. By comparing these three groups' it has been uncovered that even with the same socio-political circumstances and ideological stance divergent styles did develop to embrace these issue.

As the eating–out market in Taiwan is fast changing and highly competitive, food delivery service, which provides convenience to customers and creates added value for the business, has become a plus factor many food providers take advantage of to increase their competitiveness and expand their profits. In November, 2006, McDonald’s (Taiwan) started to offer its delivery service, McDelivery, and had since been hitting new highs in sales while facing problems more recently such as the rising costs in labor and in price per order, and the growth limit of productivity. This case study aims to examine and discuss how McDelivery Taiwan established a long-term cooperation model as well as mutual trust with the contractor who provided McDonald’s with meal ordering system and how it maintained the best transaction cost, offered unique and diverse services, and fully satisfied customers who used the delivery service. The present study also highlights the overall strategies for competition adopted by McDelivery Taiwan by analyzing the value, rareness, imperfect imitability and non-substitution of its internal resources. The strategies used by McDelivery Taiwan to maintain its favorable stance in competition including constant reinforcement in its core values and dominance, fast integration of resources, and cross-industry management among internal and external business partners. These have helped McDonald’s build mutual trust with other partners who create value with the company together, forming an enterprise ecosystem that is characterized by a symbiotic relationship. This case study contains the content and teaching notes, trying to look back the old incidents to elaborate the business model of transnational resources integration. Hopefully, the lessons can be learned. Keywords: Transaction Cost Theory, Resource-Based Theory, Strategic Management, Business Ecosystem Theory.

As transnational education is becoming firmly embedded as a part of the distance education landscape, governments and universities are calling for meaningful research on transnational education. This study involved the development and validation of a model for effective transnational education programs. The study used student experience as a key indicator of program effectiveness and, following a holistic approach, took into consideration various dimensions of the transnational education context including student, instructor, curriculum and instruction design, interaction, evaluation and assessment, technology, and program management and organisational support. This selection of dimensions, together with their attributes, formed the proposed model for transnational education programs. The model was applied for validation against three transnational computing education programs currently offered by Australian universities in Hong Kong. Two methods of data collection - a survey, and group interviews with students - were used to validate the model; data was obtained from approximately three hundred subjects. The model was evaluated in terms of the perceived importance, to the students, of the various attributes of each program dimension on program effectiveness. The results of the validation indicated that the students in all the programs participating in the evaluation were in agreement as to the factors they consider most important to the effectiveness of transnational programs. The validation of the model led to its refinement; first, the least important attributes were removed from dimensions; second, a new dimension, pre-enrolment considerations, was introduced to the model; and finally, the attributes within each of the dimensions were ordered in terms of their perceived importance.

Recently, issues about the environment, economics and pollution prevention have become more and more important. Under social responsibility, firms need to measure the pollution cost and make a choice between reducing product cost or reducing pollution cost. Under an economics environment, how to choose an optimal pollution prevention strategy is important for transnational enterprises. In this study, we focus on when technology follows GBM. Transnational enterprises have these strategies that can reduce pollution cost： upgrade pollution proceeding technology, industry exodus to another country. Transnational enterprises need to choose an optimal pollution prevention strategy to reduce pollution. This study introduces the real option approach (ROA) to construct a mathematical decision-Making model of optimal transnational enterprises pollution prevention standards under an economics environment . Using this model we can find the optimal decision threshold. Research results refers that government subsidy policy and the more profits transnational enterprise get from prevent strategies, they have more motive to invest and to improve firms to reduce pollution. Research results can refer to transnational enterprises when facing the choice of optimal technology threshold under an economics environment.

ABSTRACT With the coming age of global-based competition and knowledge-based economy in twenty-first century, the entrepreneurs concentrate on how the multinational corporations (MNCs) maintain their sustained competitive advantages in the coopetition environment. Two of the most important strategies for multinational corporations to achieve expected market scope are the “international market entry modes” and the “international market advancing path”. This study aims to assume that "centralized sequence investment strategy" is reasonable for the international market advancing path, and the "regional characteristics" and "operational experiences" are the key factors for the return of investment and the choice of priority. Moreover, it builds an "optimal evaluation model for transnational sequential investments" in order of achieving the goal with the lowest risk and shortest time. Further more, this study uses Genetic algorithms (GAs) as proposed procedure concerning the complexity when increasing the investment regions, and it addresses the practical examples for testing the validity of proposed procedure.

As the global competitive environment rapidly changes, utilizing a diversification of products has become one of the management strategies enterprises usually employ to improve their competitive advantage and continue operating. Biotechnology has the most potential technology at present; thus, this study introduces biotechnical products as an example in the biotechnical industry. Under the circumstances of an uncertain environment, applying the mathematical decision model of the real options approach (ROA) can confer upon enterprises how to make suitable appraisal of growth opportunities in the future. At first, this study discusses an enterprise how to through the transferring of the optimal technical level achieve decision-making of product diversification. Second, this study explains how enterprises may carry on internationalized strategies to expand the scope of the enterprise and disperse the operation risk; as such, how to choose production location with the best transnational resource allocation and utilize technology spillovers and industry clustering effect will enhance the maximization of an enterprise’s whole value. This model establishes the best threshold policy for transforming research and development technical levels in order to assess the enterprise’s whole value effectively, utilizing an innovating technical level to expand the development of new products and resources allocated to obtaining the value of the enterprise. In the future if the enterprise is enabled to maintain high competitiveness, this will help achieve the goal of continued operation.

The main purpose of this thesis is to construct a mathematical model for expatriating manpower in transnational enterprises by using ROA (real options approach) to discuss the expatriating strategy of transnational enterprises, by considering when expatriating activities are related to two countries, and the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates is an out of consideration external effect on the currency value, and determining the optimal expatriating threshold. First under an uncertainty situation, model Ⅰ utilizes the aggregate concept of ROA to evaluate the potential expatriating value of human resources in transnational enterprises. We consider the level of foreign exchange rate that will influence the currency value by a calculation process that the cash flow of operation revenue in an overseas subsidiary can be translated into the domestic currency value to determine the optimal threshold of the foreign exchange rate, and can analyze the optimal timing to expatriate or outsource manpower to fill the vacancies in an overseas subsidiary. In addition, model Ⅱ considers the foreign exchange rate level and attribution of countries (such as capital intensive countries and labor intensive countries) that must produce different costs and revenues under varied situations. We utilize the flow concept to evaluate the revenues and costs that were generated by the decision to expatriate and outsource to determine the optimal threshold of foreign exchange rates. Further, we analyze the optimal decision timing to expatriate or outsource manpower to fill the vacancies of an overseas subsidiary in a labor intensive country and a capital intensive country. The result presents that use a financial viewpoint to evaluate the expatriation costs and revenues, the parent company will choose more expatriating employees to capital intensive country but lesser to labor intensive country to conform considerations of the maximum profits. Managers can utilize this result to hire manpower, and make the optimal allocation in human resources that can achieve the object of minimum operation costs in the future.

Global trading activities have been significantly growing during the past decades and constituted a critical element of economic globalization. Among them, forwarder serves as the most important part in the value chain; it basically connects all types of players who exchange goods and materials. In the globally competitive environment of forwarder businesses, how Asian companies compete with those well-known and well-endowed companies who offer comprehensive range of services in American and European markets becomes an interesting topic to explore. To tackle this research inquiry, this research undertakes a qualitative case approach based on a forwarder company based in Taiwan to disentangle elements of growth strategy within competitive context. In addition, we further discuss how the case company shall transform itself to face the challenges from growing competitive and complex arena. This research found that the case company, who established in an export-dependent country with intensive competition and strict regulations, expands their initial competitive strength and create their exclusive advantage based on differential strategy. They then focus on human resource cultivation and enterprise modernization to support global scale development based on service accountability. For sustaining growth from the existing position, the case company has to seriously consider to transform itself to become more transnational so that advantages from global scale, local responsiveness and inter-regional learning can be created in a balanced manner. Our research results depict that different stages of internationalization strategy. First, company shall focus on the weakness of the regional business and getting stronger. In the next stage, it shall maintain the advantage and keep the income smooth and steady. At a later stage, the company shall pursue goal to ensure global competitiveness through the elements of transnational model. Implications of our research findings to other companies and suggestions to future research are also discussed.

ABSTRACT To satisfy the stone industry’s operation needs, this study focused on the stone industry’s transnational multi-plant supply chain model. Since Taiwan’s government allowed the stone industry directly to invest in Mainland China few years ago, it has been very common that Taiwan’s stone managers run the multiple plants cross the strait. The main purpose of setting up manufacture plants in Mainland China is to gain the benefit of cheaper production costs, the mineralized source, and many kinds of Mainland China government’s favorable polices. By collecting data from the related primary and secondary references, this study started with analyzing the stone industry’s background to finding out Taiwan stone industry’s present situation and bottlenecks of growth. Then this research attempts to build several supply chain models that fit into real world situation. From these models and their corresponding simulations, we provide some “solutions” for stone industry in Taiwan. The discussions of results will mainly focus on those of model IV that is the most complicated and realistic one. We use three cases to show the results of different kind of simulations. These results show that our transnational multi-plant supply chain model would be a useful tool for the managers when they face decisions on multi-orders, multi-purchases, multi-production lines, and multi-distributions at the same time.

This thesis enhances the real options approach in comparison with the traditional net present value method, which ignores the potential value of location decision on the international pollution prevention policy. The expanded net present value method (i.e. the real options approach) includes the standard net present value method and the option value from the timing of executing the project in the future. The analysis result for upgrading or switching to pollution prevention systems for transnational location adopting the real options approach shows that the project evaluation has more elasticity than the traditional net present value method does, and this issue will be important for heavy industry to decide high pollution prevention policies due to huge investment costs. In addition, the current study focuses on assessing the possible decision making processes an organization may encounter after determining a future site location, considering the regulations imposed by pollution prevention policies and using the decision-tree model to find the optimal location is the main focus in this thesis.

The rapid development of technology brought risks to virtually every aspect in the society, from ethic, health, environment to economy, crossing national boarders and becoming an international issue. Due to the diffusing and circulating of science /technology, those current regulatory theories such as precautionary principle, substantial equivalence and risk analysis are restricted by the international law, which lacks an universal system and enforcing efficiency, thus producing a “transnational problematic,” having no effective control toward different technology applications in the age of globalization. This thesis aims to resolve this transnational problematic, meanwhile proposes some reforms for the international law. Facing these difficulties, the unified, centralized EU law with high effectiveness seems to be a way out; and among all issues of technology law, the GMO is the most controversial and representative one. Therefore, this article constructs a transnational regulatory model of technology, through analyzing the functions, institutions and principles of EU GMO laws. This “EU Model” could be described with a three-leveled picture: first using the precautionary principle to push the GMO legislation, in order to obey the EU protection duty; then establishing a transnational political negotiating panel to weight different related interests, which is confirmed and legitimized by democracy; finally, the constructed GMO legal system is a hierarchy institutional framework, with horizontal regulations and central enforcements. However, after the famous debate of the EC-Biotech case in WTO, whether this EU Model could be universalized into a global model became quite questionable. The failure of EU in that case has revealed a huge gap between the EU legal system and the current international law; but on the other hand, the EU Model also had some positive effects in the discourse of international agenda relating to technology laws. Hence it is still possible to reach a pragmatic solution by abstracting the three-leveled elements of the EU Model. Based on the changing definition of sovereignty in technology issues, the international community might develop a global protection duty, and then adjust the original WTO institution with deliberative democracy, in order to reach a global governance of technology with consensus on risk management and coordinated judicial practices. The three-leveled EU Model could be transformed into a universal tertiary structure with EU spirits in the WTO framework.

In order to occupy the market sharing and survive in the intensely competitive market, the semiconductor industries must take advantage of enterprise globalization and make good use of capacity. For attaining time efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the global logistics has become a trend and the essential configuration rule for the semiconductor industries. In the viewpoint of semiconductor manufacturing, capacity allocation is decided by the factors listed as follows: (1)complicated product mix; (2)technology competence of factories; (3)capacity available of factories ; (4)due-date of orders; (5)production cost of factories; (6)production cycle time; (7)profitability etc. This thesis focuses on the problem of transnational multi-plant production strategy and capacity allocation. Before the process of solving, compile all orders to a bill of requirements through order management system. Then consider the factors mentioned above to divide the problem into three phases to find the solutions. The first phase is to separate all kinds of products in the bill into several groups with manufacturing process similarity by a heuristic algorithm which based on the conception of setup cost and time minimization. The second phase is to assign the groups to the factories by a mixed integer programming model which based on the conception of production cost minimization. In order to achieve four different objectives with the constraints of capacity and due date, the third phase constructs corresponding mathematical programming models to set up production plan in the viewpoint of single factory. We can consider four different objectives simultaneously by goal programming with corresponding weights or can compare different models by cross analysis.

Mallett, RA. ""A model among towns?": A study of progressivism in Launceston during the interwar period." Thesis, 2011. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/12488/1/whole.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Progressivism is a term describing an array of secular, transnational reform coalitions which emphasized government interventionism and reliance on expertise, when attempting to solve the largely urban problems presented by industrialisation. Progressivism emerged during the economic unrest of the last decade of the nineteenth century, reaching its peak by the end of the First World War and subsequently enjoying resurgence as a result of the sustained effects of the Great Depression during the mid-1930s. Following the armistice, popular attention across Australia began to turn away from a necessary focus on the demands of the war towards a determined consideration of the problems presented by the need for reconstruction and the continuing improvement of society.
By 1919, thanks to highly innovative successive local governments, Launceston specifically had become remarkably well appointed for an Australian, regional city. However, like all urban population centres of the period, it still experienced the typical problems of the industrialised world: a sizable and permanent under-class that lived with entrenched poverty, long-term unemployment, insufficient educational opportunities and high rates of both preventable diseases and infant mortality. In Launceston during this period, Progressives emerged who were convinced that improving the urban environment was the key to resolving these issues. Many of their ‘scientific’ approaches to the new challenges of the industrial age had only just begun to filter into the collective consciousness of Launceston’s middle classes. Although diverse in nature, Launceston Progressives during the interwar period shared a common belief that by reshaping the lower orders in their own image, they alone could rescue them from ignorance, poverty and disease. By utilising a variety of approaches and under their guidance, resident Progressives hoped that Launceston would then truly become what C. E. W. Bean insisted was a noble and achievable goal: ‘a model among towns’. Municipalisation characterised the first stage of Progressivism in the city. During the interwar period, the Progressive charge was led by the professional elite of the city. Later, a coalition of businessmen sharing a decided ethic of civic engagement and altruism, helped to sustain and develop the local movement. The Great Depression at least created a suitable environment for an upsurge in Progressive resolve and activity, just as it did on the international stage.
The thesis positions the Launceston experience of Progressivism within the context of the international historiography on the issue. Through the utilisation of local government records and contemporary newspapers, the course of Progressivism in Launceston is then found to mirror the evolution and fate of the wider, transnational movement. The Launceston experience of Progressivism then is confirmation of the pervasive global scope of several core convictions shared by Progressives. This thesis utilises a thematic approach, wherein each of the four key aspects of Progressivism as they manifested themselves in Launceston during the interwar period are separately analysed. Launceston Progressives began to turn to the new ‘scientific’ methodologies of both the traditional and the emerging professions for solutions. Town planning and sustained infrastructure developments were fundamental elements of the Progressive approach. The new bureaucratic orientation would ensure that the city could operate more efficiently. Increasing levels of social justice within the city also became an achievable goal. Specifically, Progressives concentrated on improving general access to professional services and education programs aimed at improving health outcomes. These coalitions were to be driven by a new, heightened sense of civic altruism. As a consequence, new Progressive coalitions began to form and actively seek the reorganisation of society at all levels. Launceston was, truly, a genuine example of Progressivism on the periphery.

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)The development of viticulture in Australia in the nineteenth century mostly drew on European models to spread both wine production and consumption in the colonial societies during the nineteenth century. Among these models, France gradually appeared as a specific choice due to the reputation of its wines and its cultural practices in the British world. This thesis intends to analyse the transfers of skills, technologies, vine grapes and experts from various French regions to the Australian colonies of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. These three colonies collectively represented the most productive wine district during the nineteenth century and the most evident marks of a French influence. This circulation of knowledge mostly relied on wealthy British colonists’ initiatives in order to develop economically and culturally the colonies. This thesis presents new evidence of the importance of the cross-cultural and transnational aspects which shaped the world wine industry in the nineteenth century. It also shows how Australia instigated these transfers of French practices and ideas and reshaped them to fit its natural, economic, political and socio-cultural environment. Overall, this thesis, situated at the intersection of wine history and transnational history, gives a new insight on the effects of the first wave of globalisation which facilitated the circulation of knowledge, technologies and production models from Europe to the New World. It highlights the importance of interpersonal and interinstitutional exchanges occurring across national boundaries in the development of agricultural production, commodity trade and scientific knowledge. It also questions Franco–Australian transfers as a reflexivity process peculiar to histoire croisée. As such, this research project has been conducted both in Australia and in France as a transnational investigation mixing perspectives from the English-speaking world and the French-speaking world.

Nike established relations with Feng Tay and Pou Chen Enterprises in 1976 and 1989. They have been engaged in business for the past 20 years. In 1970, Nike developed markets actively. At first, they looked for cooperative partner in Japan. The relationship was due to change, so they relocate to the Asia. The scale of Feng Tay Enterprises wasn’t extensive, but their R&D, quality and manufacturing skill kept progressing. Through the shoemaking of Pou Chen Enterprises vertical integration have the cost advantage and operation of quality, therefore Nike promots the cooperation with Pou Chen Enterprises. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a successful model of partnership in Transnational Enterprises, using Nike、Feng Tay、Pou Chen as an example of a model of partnership which is appropriate to make partnership. This research attempts to construct the initial criteria of Successful Model of Partnership for decision makers and managers. The procedure of adopting the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) is applied to evaluate the indicators of the Successful Model of Partnership. By combining the DEMATEL and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, this applied to analyze the dynamic influential relationships and degree of important between dimensions and criteria of Successful Model of Partnership. Finally, VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) is used to evaluate the total performance in three Cooperation models. Among the empirical results of this study, “Interactive” is the most important factor of the Successful Model of Partnership, followed by “Win - win”,“Consistency”,“Complementarity”, and “Compatibility”

The rise of social enterprises in the era of frequent international exchanges, and it emphasize on social innovation. There are many different business management. Social enterprise in Taiwan is an emerging issue, especially transnational business model is still in an embryonic stage. There are few social enterprise engaged in transnational management in the practice fields, and lack of relevant research in the academic circles. The purpose of this study is to explore situation of transnational social enterprise management and the feasibility of establishing transnational business model, then provide solutions and suggestions for some organizations which want to engage in transnational social enterprise management work. This study adopts the Wake Welfare Action Association (Wake) as study case, based on the triple bottom line of social enterprise and business model, and uses the qualitative research methods, depth interviews, participant observation to explore Wake how to manage the transnational work. The study found that the Wake welfare production, has combined many business models to become a brand new combining transnational business model of social enterprise. And has been playing the role of intermediary between overseas manufacture and the Taiwanese society. By providing overseas economic disadvantages employment opportunities and publicizing the idea of the Wake welfare production, the society may give a chance through their consumer choice, in order to improve the their living quality, carry out the spirit of fair trade, and practice the goal of triple bottom line. The transnational business model of Wake social enterprise does not make any difference between different countries, only the product aspects by the different culture characteristic and their local uniqueness. The aspects of economical and culture problems are the transnational management would face. The transnational business has the limit to the organization themselves as the nature of nonprofit, and the attitude of the organization would decide the culture differences an advantage or a disadvantage. The extension of transnational service work to the welfare production, the familiarity and respect of local cultures has become an advantage of Pucentage productions. The Wake has the triple bottom line social enterprise management, also has the innovated and sustained commercial operation management to support the sense of mission for the society, as well as the spirit of fair trade. Therefore, according to the current development status, the Wake has valuable reference for those who would like to engage in the transnational management of social enterprise.
