The Role of Institutions in the Migration of Corporate Governance Practice into Emerging Economies The Case of Africa

2016

This study examines the role of institutional environment in influencing the migration of corporate governance best practice into 22 emerging African economies. Using a unique and comprehensive sample hand-collected sample of 202 IPO firms from across the continent we adopt a novel institutional logics perspective in studying the diffusion of CEO salary disclosure – a central element of corporate transparency. Our findings reveal that the adoption of CEO salary disclosure by firms is more likely in more homogenous informal institutional contexts. Complementarities arising from disclosure originating from an Anglo-American shareholder value governance framework and indigenous formal institut…

Corruption and managing the project cycle : the role of corrupt practices in NGO funding in Pakistan

2013

This Master’s thesis research explores the role of corrupt practices in development projects implemented by local NGOs in Pakistan. The intention is not to expose particular cases of corruption, but to study corruption risks and vulnerabilities in different phases of the project cycle and financial management (budgeting, accounting, financial reporting and auditing). It also explores other program support functions, i.e. procurement and human resources, and their vulnerability to corruption. The contribution of this study to academic literature is increasing awareness of NGO corruption and its different forms in Pakistan from the project management point of view. This is a qualitative study…

Wages, prices, and technology in early Catalan industrialization

2016

Catalonia was the only Mediterranean region among the early followers of the British industrial revolution. The roots of this process can be traced back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the Catalan economy became integrated into international trade, and a successful printed calico industry concentrated in the city of Barcelona. Although the factory system was largely adopted by the cotton industry in the 1840s, the diffusion of the spinning jenny in Catalonia had occurred earlier, in the 1790s. In line with Allen, this article explores whether relative factor prices played a role in the widespread adoption of the spinning jenny in Catalonia. First, series of real wages in Ba…

Sport and civil society in the Nordic region

2017

This paper examines the key elements within the relationships of sport and civil society in Scandinavia. The analysis combines themes and developments in Nordic sport and civil society, such as the role of the welfare state and the impacts of neoliberalism, with consideration of specific national experiences, especially in Finland. The discussion has four main parts. First, we set out the principal features of the ‘Nordic model’ of society, and how it shapes sport and civil society relations. Second, we advance a Finnish case study, examining the historical connections of three sectors to the national sport culture. Third, we consider how, in recent decades, the Nordic model has encountered…

Cosmopolitan internationalism: UNESCO’s ideological ambiguity and the difference/diversity problematic

2022

This article addresses the ways in which UNESCO’s ideological engagements are negotiated in the difference/diversity discourse as they are transferred from the international standard-setting level to the national and local contexts. It proposes the discursive construction of cosmopolitan internationalism as a framework for analysing the intersections of difference, located in the practicalities of internationalism, and diversity, tied to the ideals of cosmopolitanism, as they are manifested at the level of both the implementation of UNESCO’s Diversity Convention and urban policy making in the city of Sydney. The analysis suggests that ruptures challenging the homogenising diversity discours…

Communicative memory of irregular migration: The re-circulation of news images on YouTube

2016

This article analyses user-generated YouTube cut and mix videos of irregular migration as producing communicative memory of those who have suffered at Europe’s external borders. Visual and textual analyses examine a neglected perspective on the study of media representations of migration by examining a particular practice through which people engage with news images and participate in (re)construction of collective memory in relation to irregular migration. The analysis shows that while hegemonic Eurocentric imagery prevails also in the vernacular amateur productions, re-mixing different cultural productions nevertheless complicates the representation of irregular migration and affords alte…

Un códice facticio de cancioneros manuscritos del siglo XVI

2020

Se ofrece un completo análisis codicológico del manuscrito 2763 de la Biblioteca Universitaria de Salamanca. Se trata del volumen denominado SA10 en el sistema de siglas propuesto por Brian Dutton (1990-91), un códice que agrupa dos cancioneros manuscritos independientes de poesía medieval, fechables en la primera mitad del siglo XVI. El estudio exhaustivo de la estricta materialidad del códice se completa con el recuento y análisis de las obras y autores seleccionados, así como de su disposición y secuenciación. Los resultados permiten formular una hipótesis argumentada acerca de la génesis del volumen y de su complejo proceso de copia y transmisión. A complete codicological analysis of ma…
