The Boycott Model Of Foreign Product Purchase: An Empirical Test In China, Malcolm Smith, Qianpin Li Jan 2010

The Boycott Model Of Foreign Product Purchase: An Empirical Test In China, Malcolm Smith, Qianpin Li

Research outputs pre 2011

The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate and ascertain the effects of integrative motivation on the willingness to participate in boycott activities. This paper uses a mail survey to examine the relationships among six constructs in a boycotting issue context, in order to explore Chinese consumers’ willingness to boycott against Japanese products or services with the fallout from a Japanese former PM’s continuous visits to a controversial war shrine since 2001. The findings suggest that there are significant and positive pairwise relationships between boycott participation and three factors (i.e. animosity, efficacy, and prior purchase). High animosity towards Japanese …


Is The Law Hopeful?, Annelise Riles Jan 2010

Is The Law Hopeful?, Annelise Riles

Cornell Law Faculty Working Papers

This essay asks what legal studies can contribute to the now vigorous debates in economics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, literary studies and anthropology about the nature and sources of hope in personal and social life. What does the law contribute to hope? Is there anything hopeful about law? Rather than focus on the ends of law (social justice, economic efficiency, etc.) this essay focuses instead on the means (or techniques of the law). Through a critical engagement with the work of Hans Vaihinger, Morris Cohen and Pierre Schlag on legal fictions and legal technicalities, the essay argues that what is “hopeful” …

The Obstacles Of Outsourcing Imported Food Safety To China, Chenglin Liu Jan 2010

The Obstacles Of Outsourcing Imported Food Safety To China, Chenglin Liu

Faculty Articles

Outsourcing regulatory power through a bilateral agreement with China is unlikely to ensure the safety of imported food for two primary reasons: (1) shifting the regulatory burden does not present a feasible alternative to the traditional enforcement tools of outcome-based and production-based inspections and sanctions; and (2) China's burgeoning food safety regime, based on an entirely different culture and legal system, provides little incentive for Chinese food manufacturers to increase production costs to comply with U.S. standards.

There are three approaches for securing food safety in the U.S.: (1) increase inspections at the borders by utilizing traditional outcome-based enforcement tools; …

From Hōshi To Borantia: Transformations Of Volunteering In Japan And Implications For Foreign Policy, Nichole Georgeou Dec 2009

From Hōshi To Borantia: Transformations Of Volunteering In Japan And Implications For Foreign Policy, Nichole Georgeou

Nichole Georgeou

This study explores the relationship between state-citizen relations and changing notions of volunteering in Japan. I map Japan's state-citizen relations through an analysis of the transformations of volunteering in Japan from “hōshi” (mutual obligation) to "borantia" (borrowed from the English "volunteer"). The article broadly considers these paradigm shifts in terms of the context of the role International Non Profit Organisations (INPOs) play in Japanese foreign policy.


Kind Participation: Postmodern Consumption And Capital With Japan's Telop Tv, Aaron Gerow Dec 2009

Kind Participation: Postmodern Consumption And Capital With Japan's Telop Tv, Aaron Gerow

Aaron Gerow

Analyses the phenomenon of subtitles (more properly called "telop") on Japanese television, especially variety programming. Critically using Ota Shoichi's work on owarai (especially the boke and tsukkomi in manzai) and Azuma Hiroki's work on database consumption, I argue about how Japanese TV not only reads itself, but encourages viewers to contribute their labor as readers to enhance the value of the televisual commodity.
