Modeling the interplay between emotional intelligence and conflict resolution styles: The mediating role of psychological empowerment
Purpose Organizational environments have become increasingly dynamic, competitive and multicultural. In such high-pressure contexts, conflict among employees is unavoidable because of their divergent goals, interdependence and limited resources. This study aims to investigate the interplay between emotional intelligence (EI) and conflict resolution styles and examined the mediating role of psychological empowerment (PE) in the relationship betwee…
Covid-19 and Differential Income Recovery: Survey Evidence from Indian Punjab
The study examines changes in earnings of the workers over 1 year. The results show differential impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on income of the workers. The findings suggest that workers, whose occupations were restricted in the initial phase of lockdown, continue to do worse even after lifting the restrictions. Females, casual workers and the less educated are among the worst affected by the economic shock. They continue to lag b…
The Future of Multilateralism and Global Development: Opportunities for Constitutive and Functional Reform
In response to the numerous challenges facing contemporary multilateral organizations, and indeed the very idea of multilateralism itself, many have called for “wholesale change” yet few have provided specific details on substance or articulated how any such reforms might be supported (politically, financially) or implemented. We summarize key insights from a recent global initiative that sought to both provide a critical assessment of multilater…
Multi-Stakeholder Perspectives on Scaling up UK Fashion Upcycling Businesses
Fashion upcycling, the process of using waste clothing and textiles to create new products, is an alternative to business-as-usual practices which can effectively address concerns on excessive consumption of energy and material resources and use of chemicals in the fashion industry. Scaling up fashion upcycling businesses could enable the transition of the fashion industry towards sustainability. Past studies in fashion upcycling have paid attent…

Income and Employment Changes Under Covid-19 Lockdown: A Study of Urban Punjab
This article traces income and employment changes through various phases of the lockdown based on primary data. It analyses the coping strategies of people in response to fall in their income. The article reveals that there was a large drop in income and employment with the announcement of lockdown. While there is some recovery with easing of the lockdown, the income at the time of survey is still substantially lower than its pre-lockdown level. …
Trade Negotiations at the (Possible) End of Multilateral Institutionalism
Multilateral negotiations are often facilitated through international organizations, but are not coterminous with them. This essay advances a few ‘mid-level’ propositions with respect to the negotiation structure that provides an overall context and the negotiation process where tactics guide the exchange of concessions. In terms of negotiation structure, a stable institutional structure is giving rise to a transitional one resulting in system sp…
Race, culture, and economics: An example from North-South trade relations
This essay refines the understanding of culture and race – with operational and temporal dynamics – to explain North-South trade outcomes. Following traditions in economic sociology and anthropology, culture is presented as a toolkit of values. The recent rise of racism and xenophobia as values associated with populism can be traced to cultural toolkits that have sedimented histories. The cultural unsettledness of the present times has brought th…
Development finance 2.0: Do participation and information technologies matter
This essay critically examines the discourse of participation in development finance directed at the poor in the Global South from national and international development agencies. This discourse, often termed financial inclusion, posits the ability of development actors to reach the poor involving them in important economic decisions affecting their lives, provides access to products that improve their material conditions, and ensures their credi…

Agriculture and Its Discontents: Coalitional Politics at the wto with Special Reference to India’s Food Security Interests
The demise of the Doha round of trade negotiations is often attributed to deadlocks in agricultural negotiations between the developed and the developing world. Why has agriculture been so difficult to negotiate? This article explains North-South agricultural negotiations through the lens of coalition politics, especially the shift from bloc to issue-based diplomacy from the developing world. We argue against the proposition in the negotiation li…
Introduction: Emerging Powers and the wto
International trade has become increasingly important to emerging market economies. Concurrently, increasing trade liberalization through the multilateral Doha Round, launched in November 2001, from the World Trade Organization ( wto ) has been a failure. The essays in this issue evaluate the role of Brazil, China, and India at the wto examining in particular their domestic and coalitional constraints, the fairness and justice claims underlying t…
Diffusion of Power and Diplomacy: New Meanings, Problem Solving, and Deadlocks in Multilateral Negotiations
The classic hierarchical distribution of power featuring nation-states is now increasingly supplemented with a diffusion of power with multiple actors. A hierarchical concentration of power is predicated toward bargaining coercion and great powers can impose their solutions on the weak. Diffused power allows for joint problem solving among multiple actors through negotiations but also makes reaching agreement hard because of the relatively greate…
Towards Addressing Unintended Environmental Consequences: A Planning Framework
Efforts to decouple environmental impacts and resource consumption have been confounded by interactions and feedback between technical-economic, environmental and social aspects not considered prior to implementing improvement actions. This paper presents a planning framework that connects material flows and the socio-economic drivers that result in changes in these flows, in order to reduce conflicts between localized gains and global losses. Th…

Cultural Networks and Unesco: Fostering Heritage Preservation Betwixt Idealism and Participation
Cultural issues are prominent in UNESCO and almost define the identity of the organization. Despite the various controversies, this essay will demonstrate that the most durable influence of UNESCO's contributions to cultural heritage is in mobilizing global cultural networks that inform the collective understandings and governance of this issue. The recognition that cultural heritage is linked to economic development provides added importance to …

The development remix, a project initiated at Georgetown University, is a six- to eight-minute-long digital narrative that mixes or edits existing literary or audiovisual representations. The remix project enables development students, scholars, and practitioners to prepare their own narratives about the developing world, through experiencing existing narratives closely, and makes them empathic and critical while humanizing the cultural condition…

Paulo Freire: Possibilities for Dialogic Communication in a Market-Driven Information Age
This essay examines the legacy and challenges of Paulo Freire's ideas for a world abounding in information and communication or, in the case in this essay, representational technologies. Will these technologies help foster possibilities of emancipatory articulation or further the voiceless oppression of the marginalized? Can they do so outside the context of a radical struggle? The unorthodox argument in this essay leans toward emancipatory possi…

Culture or Commerce? A Comparative Assessment of International Interactions and Developing Countries at Unesco, WTO, and Beyond
Does international trade in cultural products threaten cultural diversity in the developing world? This article seeks to question the implied correlation by exploring the intellectual and empirical bases of the claims. Conceptually, I argue that cultural diversity viewed from the perspective of the nation-state is problematic. Politically, of course, nation-states make this claim themselves in protecting their self-interest globally. Empirically,…

Sex Workers and Cultural Policy: Mapping the Issues and Actors in Thailand
This article deals with the deeply controversial side of cultural tourism in mapping the position of the sex industry. In doing so, it places sex tourism in two epistemic contexts: one context expands the notion of cultural policies, the other notes the implicit and explicit origins and effects of cultural policies affecting sex work, although these positions are not mutually exclusive. Sex tourism, we argue, poses a particular challenge to the u…

From Pots to E-commerce: What Have the Developing Countries Learnt About Property Rights Over the Last 50 Years
The challenge of electronic commerce is new to the developing world. Will this technology-driven initiative allow developing countries in Asia to leapfrog? Electronic commerce will trot or walk depending upon the property rights shaping its behaviour. The history of information infrastructural provision teaches us that efficient property rights can only be expected in rare circumstances, when the polity has a highly developed civil society and ex…
FDI Variations in Emerging Markets: The Role of Credible Commitments—With Special Reference to Asia1
What accounts for variations in foreign direct investments (FDI) in emerging telecommunications markets? This article shows that the key to capturing FDI oows is making and enforcing credible commitments both internationally and domestically toward liberalization reform in telecommunications sectors: the differences in such commitments account for FDI variations.
