Uncovering The Chinese Web : The Four 'S' Dynamics Of Chinese Networking, Y H Wong

IIMB Management Review

China's transformation into a significant economy has been largely achieved by a "bamboo network". The importance of relationship networks is rooted in Chinese history, characterised by apparent strong government control based on Confucian codes of ethics. Wong takes a close look at the dynamics of networking and building guanxi. He begins with an exploration of the key socio-cultural concepts : friendship, trust, defensive mechanism and post-Confucian dynamics, before moving on to an analysis and explanation of the dynamics of guanxi network. He concludes by explaining how networks are built by providing an integrative four 'S' framework.

The Construction Of National Identity Through The Production Of Ritual And Spectacle: An Analysis Of National Day Parades In Singapore, Lily Kong, Brenda S. A. Yeoh

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In this paper, we adopt the view that 'nation' and 'national identity' are social constructions, created to serve ideological ends. We discuss this in the specific empirical context of Singapore's National Day parades. By drawing on officially produced souvenir programmes and magazines, newspaper reports, and interviews with participants and spectators, we analyse the parades between 1965 and 1994, showing how, as an annual ritual and landscape spectacle, the parades succeed to a large extent in creating a sense of awe, wonderment and admiration. Discussion focuses on four aspects of the celebrations: the site of the parades, their display and theatricality, …

The Great Plains Sit-In Movement, 1958-60, Ronald Walters

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In 1960, black youths conducted a "sit-in" in Greensboro, North Carolina to obtain the right to eat at a segregated lunch counter. Others quickly replicated sit-ins throughout the South and, just as quickly, the press labeled Greensboro the "first" sit-in. Historian David Levering Lewis, for instance, said: "There were not a few white southerners, and probably a majority of white northerners, who would have wished to say to the first sit-in students, as did the woman in the Greensboro Woolworth's, 'you should have done this ten years ago.'" Even data-oriented social scientists such as Doug McAdams portray the sit-ins as …
