Who's Afraid of Foreigners? Religion, Trust, and Directors in Multinational Corporations

Pages : 39
Book Description
For a sample of 781 Belgian subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs) from 13 different countries, we investigate how religion and trust in the parent country of the MNC affect the likelihood that the board of directors of the Belgian subsidiary includes parent country nationals, and the likelihood that the managing director of the subsidiary is a parent country national. Consistent with our hypotheses, we find that the likelihood of parent country (managing) directors is greater if the parent company is located in a Catholic country, a country where interpersonal trust is lower, or a country characterized by higher power distance.

Who's Afraid of Frances Fox Piven?
Author: Frances PivenPublisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1595587543
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The sociologist and political scientist Frances Fox Piven and her late husband Richard Cloward have been famously credited by Glenn Beck with devising the “Cloward/Piven Strategy,” a world view responsible, according to Beck, for everything from creating a “culture of poverty” and fomenting “violent revolution” to causing global warming and the recent financial crisis. Called an “enemy of the people,” over the past year Piven has been subjected to an unprecedented campaign of hatred and disinformation, spearheaded by Beck. How is it that a distinguished university professor, past president of the American Sociological Association, and recipient of numerous awards and accolades for her work on behalf of the poor and for American voting rights, has attracted so much negative attention? For anyone who is skeptical of the World According to Beck, here is a guide to the ideas that Glenn fears most. Who's Afraid of Frances Fox Piven? is a concise, accessible introduction to Piven's actual thinking (versus Beck's outrageous claims), from her early work on welfare rights and “poor people's movements,” written with her late husband Richard Cloward, through her influential examination of American voting habits, and her most recent work on the possibilities for a new movement for progressive reform. A major corrective to right-wing bombast, this essential book is also a rich source of ideas and inspiration for anyone interested in progressive change.
