The Strategic Importance Of U.S.-South Korea Economic Relations, Marcus Noland, Taeho Bark

Marcus Noland

Due to the still critical nature of the United States-Republic of Korea (U.S.-ROK) alliance, diplomatic and economic relations between the two nations assume larger than usual importance. This fourth NBR Special Report examines whether economic ties could diffuse conflict in other aspects of the bilateral relationship, or whether economic irritants might be a source of further bilateral tensions.

Evolution Of Credit Union Philosophy, Matthew Wilburn King Jan 2003

Evolution Of Credit Union Philosophy, Matthew Wilburn King

Matthew Wilburn King PhD

This paper explores the history and evolution of credit union philosophy. The evolution of credit union philosophy spans nearly 150 years. It’s a story that begins in the middle of 19th century Europe as it was emerging from a long history of feudal relations and tyrannical rule that created “the miserable economic conditions of the period and the realization that people would have to take action themselves if their lives were to improve.”1 The democratic ideals that were so eloquently articulated by classical liberal philosophers such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes began to be increasingly institutionalized during this time.

Ultrapassando O Debate Entre Convergência E Divergência Urbanas: A Arquitetura E O Urbanismo Em Um Contexto Global, Clara Irazabal Jan 2003

Ultrapassando O Debate Entre Convergência E Divergência Urbanas: A Arquitetura E O Urbanismo Em Um Contexto Global, Clara Irazabal

Clara Irazabal

Alguns pesquisadores argumentam que as cidades do Terceiro e do Primeiro Mundo estão se tornando cada vez mais semelhantes. Outros discordam dessa teoria da convergência, alegando que tais similaridades são apenas superficiais. O presente trabalho sustenta que as discrepâncias entre as duas teorias são mais aparentes que reais e propõe que se aborde a convergência mais no âmbito das soluções do que no âmbito dos problemas, chamando a atenção para o papel da participação cidadã e da governança urbana em bem-sucedidas experiências em cidades tanto do Terceiro Mundo como do Primeiro Mundo. O texto também reflete sobre a arquitetura e …
