Does Institutional Misalignment Prompt Escape-Based Internationalization? An Exploratory Examination Of Latin American Outbound Foreign Direct Investment, Jack Alan Clampit Jul 2013

Does Institutional Misalignment Prompt Escape-Based Internationalization? An Exploratory Examination Of Latin American Outbound Foreign Direct Investment, Jack Alan Clampit

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The international business literature offers four primary reasons for firms moving parts of their value chain abroad: they desire access to markets, resources, efficiencies, or strategic assets. Despite suggestions by prominent scholars (e.g., Dunning) that there may be a fifth motive – the desire to escape from institutional settings that hinder a firm’s ability to achieve its goals – convincing evidence in support of this motive has been elusive. Current studies of escape-based internationalization tend to come from adjacent disciplines, and are usually conceptual in nature (thus providing no empirical support) or are qualitative, survey-based examinations (thus limiting generalizability and …

How Religious Practices Affect The Rise Of Populism In Latin America, Victoria Garcia, Dr. Kirk Hawkins Jun 2013

How Religious Practices Affect The Rise Of Populism In Latin America, Victoria Garcia, Dr. Kirk Hawkins

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Populism is “a Manichaean discourse that identifies Good with a unified will of the people and Evil with a conspiring elite” (Hawkins 2009). It is a movement that has been spreading in Latin America, in which a group of people consider themselves as the majority being oppressed by an Evil elite. The surge of charismatic leaders seeking to represent the will of the people characterizes this movement. An example of these types of leaders is Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, where he is supported by a populist majority.

The Rebirth Of Catholic Collective Action In Central America: A New Model Of Church-Based Political Participation, Stacy Keogh, Richard L. Wood Jun 2013

The Rebirth Of Catholic Collective Action In Central America: A New Model Of Church-Based Political Participation, Stacy Keogh, Richard L. Wood

Sociology Faculty and Staff Publications

We analyze a new effort at collective political mobilization, sponsored by the Catholic Church in Central America following the demobilization of church-linked liberationist movements since the early 1990s. The current effort strives to re-project social Catholicism into the public arena by drawing on traditional Catholic structures, the cultural legacy of liberationist Catholicism, and a model of democratic organizing promoted by the PICO National Network in the United States. Drawing primarily on ethnographic and interview data, we explain the initial success of the effort in the light of the literature on resource mobilization, mobilizing structures, and the cultural dynamics of social …

China And The New Triangular Relationships In The Americas: China And The Future Of Us-Mexico Relations, Enrique Dussel Peters, Adrian H. Hearn, Harley Shaiken May 2013

China And The New Triangular Relationships In The Americas: China And The Future Of Us-Mexico Relations, Enrique Dussel Peters, Adrian H. Hearn, Harley Shaiken

Center for Latin American Studies Publications

This book advances the concept of “triangular relationships” by analyzing benefits and conflicts within US-Mexico-China relations as Chinas´ influence increases. The contributors examine this phenomenon from economic, political, and social perspectives. China´s deepening impact in the Americas suggests that triangular relation-ships, such as those examined in this volume, will necessarily weigh more heavily into other fields of research in the future.


The Presence Of Coups D'État Within Revolutions: Effects On Population Health, Rose E. Facchini May 2013

The Presence Of Coups D'État Within Revolutions: Effects On Population Health, Rose E. Facchini

Master's Theses

The present study is a comparative approach to revolutions and their effect on population health during the post-conflict period. Specifically, it attempts to determine whether revolutions that are accompanied by a coup d'état have a significant negative impact on post-revolution population health. Degree of revolutionary violence, governmental structures, and pre-revolution health systems is of particular interest as relevant variables. The study focuses on the Latin American countries of Nicaragua and Chile due to their similar region and timeframe. The revolutions and accompanying coup d'état in both of these countries do not demonstrate different patterns on public health in the post-conflict …
