STUDY REGARDING THE ATTITUDES TOWARD CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WORLD’S TOP TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

2012

Transnational corporations (TNCs) are the leading actors of the global economic scene; so their strategic behaviors tend to be followed by their challengers - in search for global competitiveness. Therefore (and in spite of some well known blunders and slippages), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may have the vocation to become a generalized dimension of the corporate strategy - as well as an answer to some of the very thorny problems facing the humankind. The aim of the paper is to analyze the attitudes toward CSR of the world's top TNCs, in order to see if there is a pattern regarding their strategies.

Transnational ties: Resource or stressor on Peruvian migrants' well‐being?

2020

This paper explores the role of types and the intensity of transnational ties for migrants' well‐being from a global perspective. Based on a literature review, two competing hypotheses are formulated—transnational resources versus transnational stress—according to which transnational ties have either a positive or a negative effect on migrants' well‐being. Drawing on data from a large‐scale survey of Peruvian migrants worldwide, this paper examines the strength and direction of the relationship between Peruvian migrants' transnational ties and poor well‐being, the latter measured as depression/loneliness as a principal concern. While the multivariate regression results do not support the tr…

External voting by nonresident citizens has become an important feature of contemporary democratic politics. However, compared to the average voter in domestic elections, we still know significantly less about migrants’ motivations to vote or not. Whereas analyses of external voting patterns offer insights into the results of external voting compared to origin populations, there is a lacuna of knowledge about why migran…

Vom Kosmopoliten zum Kosmo-Polen. Zur transkulturellen Identität Artur Beckers an Hand seines essayistischen Werks

2017

This paper focuses on essays of Artur Becker, an author of Polish origin who writes mostly in German. Using his newspaper articles and recently published collection of essays: Kosmopolen, the author of this paper tries to outline a m odern transcultural identity.

In the context of growing importance of the so-called intercultural literaturę in the German-speaking area - from the niche position of the Gastarbeiter literaturę to the media resonance of works by authors who were awarded the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize -, Art…

Empowering Absence? Assessing the Impact of Transnational Male Out-Migration on Left behind Wives

2023

Experiences of left-behind family members of transnational migrant workers have been in the shadow of academic discourse on migration. To contribute to the slowly growing body of literature, this study explores the impact of male out-migration on left-behind wives. The study proposes and applies a novel framework to estimate Women Empowerment Index (WEI) for comparing the empowerment level across households with and without men in transnational labor. Cross-sectional surveys and unstructured interviews were used to collect data from 373 respondents from three selected areas in Nepal. Results indicate that left-behind wives experience a higher degree of decision-making authority, physical mo…

The Problematic of Conceptualizing a European Cultural Heritage

2016

The idea of a common European cultural heritage is frequently referred to in the political discourses and practices of the EU. The idea of a European cultural heritage elevates the ideas of ownership and inheritance beyond the local, regional, or national frameworks and transforms the heritage sites and objects into a ‘common good’ belonging to all Europeans and into a source of a common European cultural identity. Scholars have debated the possibility of a common European cultural heritage, and in case such could exist, what it could be grounded upon. Critical scholars have asked what might be the trans-border European dimension of heritage that goes beyond the mere sum of national, region…

"Es war eine unendliche Leere in mir" : eine kritische Diskursanalyse zu den Identitätskonstruktionen der mutmaßlichen Rechtsterroristin Beate Zschäp…

2017

Vuonna 2011 saksalainen yhteiskunta järkyttyi vuosia kestäneen murhasarjan tultua ilmi. Uusnatsistisen terroristiryhmä NSU:n (Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund) oletettu kolmas jäsen Beate Zschäpe antoi ensimmäisen lausuntonsa vasta vuonna 2015. Vuonna 2013 alkaneessa oikeudenkäynnissä on syksyllä 2017 siirrytty loppupuheenvuoroihin. Tämä tutkimus käsittelee Beate Zschäpen antamassa kirjallisessa 53-sivuisessa oikeudenkäyntilausunnossa esille tulevia identiteettejä sekä sitä, millaisin kielellisin keinoin niitä konstruoidaan. Koska kyse on kielestä vallankäytön välineenä, soveltuu kriittinen diskurssintutkimus tämän tutkimuksen teoreettis-metodiseksi taustaksi. Analyysi on toteutettu yhden…
