Diversified boards and the achievement of environmental, social, and governance goals
We explore the impact of board resources arising from diverse board members on the achievement of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Employing resource dependence theory as our frame and drawing on qualitative data from 41 interviews with board directors of publicly traded and privately held companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we identify three key mechanisms underpinning the achievement of ESG goals, namely, the leveragi…
Global migration
Migration is increasingly viewed as a high-priority policy issue among politicians, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs, and civil society throughout the world. Its implications for the private sector, for economic prosperity, and for the cross-border activities of firms are undeniable and likely to grow in importance. Yet, despite its relevance to International Business, treatment of migration in the mainstream International Business literatur…

On temporary organizations
Despite the ascendency of temporary organizations to common practice in many industries, and their expansion as an area of academic inquiry, research evidence on their genesis, development and impact remains fragmented across diverse fields, many of which fail to engage with each other. Our purpose in this article is to bring greater systematics to the scholarship on temporary organizations through documenting their evolution and assembling their…
Reagan and Pinochet
This book is the first comprehensive study of the Reagan administration's policy toward the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Based on new primary and archival materials, as well as on original interviews with former US and Chilean officials, it traces the evolution of Reagan policy from an initial 'close embrace' of the junta to a re-evaluation of whether Pinochet was a risk to long-term US interests in Chile and, final…
Beyond gender role stereotypes and requisite managerial characteristics
Purpose The aims of this study are threefold: to examine the relationship between gender role stereotypes and requisite managerial characteristics, to test Lord and Maher's recognition‐based processes to determine whether familiarity with women in leadership positions decreases the “think manager‐think male” stereotype and to examine the nature of the attributes used to describe men, women and managers. Design/methodology/approach Schein's Descri…
U.S. Multinationals and the Control of Subsidiary Employment Policies
The authors examine whether U.S. multinational companies (MNCs) are distinctive in the degree to which they exert direct control over policy on human resources and employment relations (HR/ER) in their foreign subsidiaries. The results confirm the distinctiveness of U.S. MNCs in their greater degree of direct control of policy, compared not only with non-U.S. firms but with every other major nationality or national grouping of MNCs: France, Germa…
Imperialism, Crisis and Class Struggle
[This book of essays, written in honour of James Petras, address some of the most critical issues of our time: those of imperialism, crisis and class struggle. These issues allow the authors to identify both the ‘the enduring verities and contemporary face of capitalism’ and Petras’ contributions., This book of essays, written in honour of James Petras, address some of the most critical issues of our time: those of imperialism, crisis and class s…
The Venezuelan Development 'Model' and US Policy
Soldiering on
This article examines the circumstances in which the Reagan administration began to rethink its support of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile and shift toward advocating a return to democratic civilian rule. It argues this shift was closely related to calculations that US interests might best be served by severing ties with the incumbent regime, but only so long as two vital interrelated issues were resolved to Washington's satisfaction: the natu…
The relationship between work‐role characteristics and intercultural transitional adjustment domain patterns among a sample of US and Canadian expatriates on assignment in Ireland
Borrowing from earlier contributions in the cross‐cultural management and international human resource management literatures, firstly we conceptualise expatriate adjustment as a multifaceted construct encompassing work, general, interaction and overall adjustment and then we examine the impact of work‐role characteristics in the form of role novelty, role ambiguity, role conflict and role overload on these different domains of adjustment. With r…
Unfinished Business
This is a comprehensive study of US policy towards Cuba in the post-Cold War era. Drawing on interviews with Bush and Clinton policy-makers, congressional participants in the policy debate, and leaders of the anti-sanctions business community, it makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the evolution of American policy during this period. This study argues that Bush and Clinton operated within the same Cold War framework that shaped th…
Contesting hegemons
International relations is now marked by a distinct bias against both realism and materialism. This, allied to the currently fashionable notion that in a globalized, liberal economy cooperation rather than competition is the norm, has meant that few scholars have been concerned to analyse the sources of rivalry between the various capitalist states. This article suggests that a version of realism informed by a keen sense of power and hierarchy re…

This essay addresses some of the major ‘transition’ debates engaging academics and political pundits in the field of Latin American studies. We can group the ‘transition debates’ into two broad interrelated categories: the ‘economic’ and the ‘political’
La política de Clinton hacia Cuba
Los autores analizan la política de Clinton hacia Cuba (hasta 1995-1996) en los contextos históricos y políticos y dentro de un cambiante entorno internacional. Argumentan que Clinton es congruente en sus lineamientos generales con el resto de su política exterior e interior, aunque sus tácticas varíen en función de las circunstancias
Disobedient” Generals and the Politics of Redemocratization
U.S. policy toward political transitions in postwar Latin America has centered around the goal of securing regime changes that ensure the continuity of the state. This is true of Republican and Democratic administrations under both conservative and liberal presidents. While issues of democracy and dictatorship have remained secondary, the task of preserving the institutions of the state (civil bureaucracies, judiciaries, military and police, etc.…

U.S. Hegemony Under Siege
From Menem's new Thatcherite experiment in Argentina, through Fujimori's unexpected victory in Peru, to Collor's near defeat at the hands of the rapidly growing Workers' Party of Brazil, Latin American politics is once again in turmoil. Whilst military dictators have been dumped from office, their liberal and populist replacements have found television exposure and playboy reputations insufficient to hold together societies still remorselessly sq…

The Ethiopian military state and Soviet‐US involvement in the horn of Africa
This article focuses on the great power involvement in the region, especially insofar as it affects Ethiopia and its conflicts with Eritrea. It first characterises the military regime in Ethiopia as a form of ‘state capitalism’, conceived as a transitional and unstable formation becoming increasingly common in Third World countries struggling with the contradictions affecting their development in a period of capitalist crisis and declining US heg…
The U.S. Imperial State in Cuba 1952–1958
The literature on American foreign policy tends to emphasize nonstructural (national security, ideological, strategic, bureaucratic, etc.) factors in seeking to account for the differing U.S. government responses to nationalist movements that challenge for and/or capture state power in the Third World. In those instances where structural (e.g. economic) factors are acknowledged to be significant, they are still generally accorded a secondary role…

The aim of this study is to provide an empirical basis for theories about political coalitions formed to apply economic sanctions against a target country. An excellent example is the economic blockade of Cuba by the United States, during which successive Republican and Democratic administrations have pursued economic measures to achieve a political objective.

On the U.S. and the Overthrow of Allende
Fundamental issues are raised in Sigmund's attack on our book, concerns that pertain to what has probably become one of the most controversial policy debates in recent times: the role of the U.S. in the overthrow of the Allende government. Measured by the amount of time and space devoted to the issue by Congress, the media, and academia, this question certainly requires careful consideration. Unfortunately, Sigmund presently and in the past has n…

The New Cold War
To understand the reemergence of the Cold War, the breakdown of detente and the growing militarization of u.s. foreign policy and its implications for Third World liberation movements, we must first locate these issues in a historical and structural framework. Analysis of recent historical developments will allow us to understand the specific factors that facilitated detente, as well as the reasons for its breakdown: the argument that we will att…

Reinterpreting the State-Class Relationship
This study seeks to challenge conventional wisdom regarding the nature of stateclass relations and U.S. policy toward the Cuban Revolution during 1959 and 1960. Standard literature holds that American policy was narrowly reactive to the interests of particular capitalists and that the U.S. state was somewhat in disarray, that it had a vague coherence about being generally anticommunist and basically muddled through its relations with the revoluti…

The United States and Canada
Central America has been directly affected by the crisis of US hegemony on a world scale and the global economic crisis. The latter has exacerbated many existing regional problems; for example, rocketing interest rates have had serious impacts on debt payments, and the decline of markets for the area's raw materials has coincided with a rise in protectionist policies in the industrialised West. The result has been to limit the export of industria…
Imperial State and Revolution
The United States played a decisive role in Cuba's political and economic development during the first half of the twentieth century. The emergence in the 1950s of a broad-based opposition movement to the Batista dictatorship was viewed by American policy makers as a threat to American interests. The paramount concern of the Eisenhower administration was to deny political power to the Castro forces, a goal pursued by all means short of direct mil…
