Purpose: This paper uses the resource-dependency theory to present the case of the Pakistan sugar industry to highlight how the industry uses a strategic alliance to gain a powerful bargaining position over its critical dependencies. The case of the Pakistan sugar industry is well-known and it is common knowledge that the alliance or the cartel within it is responsible for frequent price hikes and sugar supply shortages in the country. Research design, data and methodology: We use a case study, qualitative document analysis design to trace how the alliance overcomes its various dependencies, and in doing so, how does it harm various stakeholder interests. Results: This paper finds that the sugar industry alliance maintains its bargaining power by manipulating sugar supply through horizontal alliances, political affiliations, underselling and under-reporting sugar stocks, purchasing sugarcane from the black market, and by gaining billions of rupees in export subsidies by hoarding stock and using its political connections. Conclusion: The paper concludes by providing a summary of the measures which the government has taken to curb this anticompetitive conduct; the most important of which is the removal of protectionist measures for sugar trade and allowing market forces to control the demand and supply of sugar in the local market.

This essay examines the first-generation Korean American writer, No-Yong Park's falsehoods about his ethnic identity to suggest how and why he passed for Chinese, and to explore the political, anti-Japanese implications of these actions. The essay first identifies erroneous information circulating about his biographical background, presents some other materials that help us better understand the context in which he forged his Chinese identity, and then examines how he represented himself as Chinese in his published works. I would argue that Park's self-identification as Chinese was a resulting outcome of his naturalization caused by the Japanese colonial power in Korea and also one of his surviving strategies in the racist environment within American society. Looking at some of his works-including Making a New China (1929), An Oriental View of American Civilization (1934), Chinaman's Chance: Autobiography (1940)-and examining how he represented Korea and its people reveal how he tried to raise voice for them. By doing so, this essay illuminates Park's resistance to Japan's colonial discourse and power in Korea while revealing his lifetime passing as Chinese-far from his refusal to belong to the Korean community, or to acknowledge being Korean.

Purpose: This study mainly aims to investigate the connection between job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior of bank employee. Another objective of this study is to check out the mediating impact of perceived organizational politics of bank personnel on the connection between their job happiness and citizenship behavior. Research design, data and methodology: Snowball sampling is utilized in this study, which is done among bank personnel at different public and private banks across north-eastern region of Bangladesh as well as information is accumulated through the use of a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. IBM SPSS v22, Andrew F. Hayes process macro v3.5 and SmartPLS 3 are used to complete descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study results explore that employees' political perception has a negative influence on organizational citizenship behavior where bank employees' job happiness has a positive impact on structural citizenship manners and negative impact on perceived organizational politics. Surprisingly, perceptions of organizational politics were found to have an insignificant mediating effect on the connection between job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. Conclusions: The present study reveals that satisfied bank personnel shows positive and constructive actions toward their organization where their political perception has an insignificant mediation.

This study uses data from 1970 to 2016 to analyze the effect of nuclear energy use on CO₂ emissions and attempts to validate the EKC hypothesis using the Fourier Autoregressive Distributive Lag model in India for the first time. Because of India's rapidly rising population, the environment is being severely strained. However, with 22 operational nuclear reactors, India boasts tremendous nuclear energy potential to cut down on CO₂ emissions. The EKC is validated in India as the significant coefficients of GDP and GDP.² The short-run estimates also suggest that most environmental externalities are corrected within a year. Given the findings, some policy recommendations abound. The negative statistically significant coefficient of nuclear energy consumption is an indication that nuclear power expansion is essential to achieving clean and sustainable growth as a policy goal. Also, policymakers should enact new environmental laws that support the expansion and responsible use of nuclear energy as it is cleaner than fossil fuels and reduces the cost and over-dependence on oil, which ultimately leads to higher economic growth in the long run. Future research should consider studying the nonlinearities in the nuclear energy-CO₂ emissions nexus as the current study is examined in the linear sense.

The purpose of this study is to examine how France became a representative country for far-right European populism, despite its tradition of tolerance. To achieve this goal, we examine, first, how the concept of tolerance developed in France after the 16th century. Through this process, we find that within the political system, the tolerance of the liberal tradition met with universalism, a republican value, and developed into an 'institutional tolerance' that allowed 'differences' from an authoritarian perspective rather than on an equal level. This 'assimilation' policy, reflecting a 'patriarchal' and 'oppressive' institutional tolerance, formed the keynote of the immigration policy of the 20th century, which continued until the 1980s, and shows that the French government did not take practical steps for the social integration of immigrant groups under the republican universal value that does not allow 'differences.' The government came up with an 'integration' immigration policy that embraces cultural 'differences' only after encountering problems with immigrant groups. However, this was not enough to calm the antipathy towards immigrants in French society and the discontent of immigrants in French society. Also, universalism, a republican value with deep roots in France, prevented the French immigration policy from escaping its assimilationist nature even in the 21st century. In the midst of this, far-right parties have gained power by promoting xenophobic sentiments centered on immigration problems. Finally, this study also looks at how far-right populism is currently changing the French political environment.

Mid of 1980s witnessed the beginning of a new trend regarding the elderly as the Third Age Group, which is capable of positive selection for their later life. These changes are caused not only by the rising cost of caring them as the dependent to the society, but also by paradigm shift from the clinical and biomedical model to political economy and critical gerontology. The paradigm shift is based on the social constructionism as a perspective on the later life. In this communication the development of social constructionism is reviewed as an approach on the living environment for later life through literature survey. Emphases were made on the anti-ageism instead of ageism in the analysis of the social constructionism perspective for living environment in later life. Individual practice, influencing the practice of others, influencing agency policy, and developing theory were addressed and emphasized for the practice of anti-ageism. This study found the importance of the development of the social constructionism perspective on the study and practice regarding living environment for ‘the Third Age’ in Korean situation.

The concern of external environment is growing up in the field of channel distribution. In the former channel distribution, the channel distribution environment is little bit unmoveable owing to a powerful manufacture control against poor distributor. Therefore intra-efficiency is channel member's core interest. The structure of channel governance, however, come to be changable because of the mature distributor power against manufacturer such as a Price Break, JIT of channel governance, and a serial of change. Accordingly, it is acceptable that the interest of external-environment of channel members' is more and more enlarged, and external-environment change in the channel distribution make the serious problems in intraorganizational system. Thus, it is meaningful that this study try to discover the consumer power as external environment factor and to find the best strategy to overcome this consumer power. Resource dependence theory, Transaction cost theory, Political Economic Approach, and Working partnership Approach are the theory foundation of the reasearch. Apparel franchise is a sample to analyse the hypothesis and correlation and multi-regression are a chief tools to estimate the hypothesis. Thus, the above results imply that a flexible governance is appropriate to consumer power, conflict is not intervening value between consumer power and channel governance, and the channel member's satisfaction can be confirmed in the flexible governance better than control governance.

'환경을 조성하고 보전하는 인간과 문화'의 새로운 시각에서 지속가능한 숲 관리는 '문화적 지속가능성' 개념으로 재구성할 수 있다. 문화적 지속가능성은 환경을 조성하고 보전하는 문화의 높은 기여도를 강조하는 것이다. 본 연구는 근세조선의 '문화사회적 임업'의 역사적 사례를 통해서 현대의 문화적 지속가능성에 필요한 함의들을 추출하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 조선의 첫 번째 왕이었던 태조와 관련하여 소나무(Pinus densiflora)는 조선의 왕목이었고 왕도정치의 이념을 지지하는 성리학적 신앙과 예제 체제 속에서도 가장 상위에 속하는 사직제례와 관련 있는 사직수(社稷樹)였다. 사직 제례의 숭배대상은 토지신(社)과 곡식신(稷)인데 고대 사회의 수목신앙을 이으면서 유교적 신앙 및 예제에 편입된 것이 토지신이며 토지신의 구체적 모습이 사직수이다. 왕목과 사직수로서의 소나무는 조선 왕실 통치의 종교-정치적 정통성을 지지하는 중요한 역할을 담당하였다. 소나무의 종교-정치적 상징성은 여러 측면으로 표현되었다. 소나무는 조선 조정이 주관하는 예제가 봉행되는 신전과 사당을 위해서도 물적 기반으로도 쓰였다. 소나무의 이런 역할은 왕실 능원림, 왕실 관곽재를 위한 황장봉산의 소나무 숲, 왕의 거처 도성 내외사산 소나무 숲의 조성, 방제, 보전, 관료적 관리로 확대 표현되었다. 문화사회적 임업의 역사적 사례인 이러한 소나무 숲의 종교-정치적 관리 체계는 조선의 경제적인 숲 관리 체계인 송정이나 조선 전기의 의송처와 금산의 소나무 숲 및 조선 후기의 봉산 체계의 소나무 숲의 경영과도 비교가 가능하고 공통성과 고유성을 함께 보여준다. 왕실의 소나무 문화는 대중적 의식에도 영향을 끼쳐 백성들이 금표가 있는 능원림, 금산, 봉산에서 시행된 금양(禁養)된 토지 또는 숲과 바꾸어 쓸 수도 있는 '말림갓'이라는 순한국어 단어를 형성하게 만든 것으로 보인다. 근세조선은 사직단, 능원림, 황장금산 및 황장봉산, 도성내외 사산의 소나무숲을 대상으로 하는 문화사회적 임업을 실행하였다. 조선 시대 소나무 숲의 보전과 경영에는 풍수지리, 민속신앙, 불교적 요소가 통합된 조선의 성리학적 신앙과 예제가 경제적 목적보다도 더욱 중요한 역할을 담당하였다. 인간과 환경의 상호작용이 여러 세대를 걸쳐 장기적인 문화-자연적 평형이나 균형을 이루는 것이 문화적 지속가능성인데, 숲과 환경을 조성하고 보전하는 현대인이 문화-자연 유산을 발굴하고 여러 세대에 걸친 보전으로 변환하며, 문화적, 사회적, 정신적 필요를 충족하는 환경과 인간의 상호작용에 대한 초학제적 지식인 지속가능성 과학 지식을 생산하는 것이 중요하다는 것이 근세조선의 사례 연구의 함의로 추출되었다.

접경지역지원법(2000)은 접경지역종합개발계획을 통한 생활여건 개선, 자연환경 보전, 통일기반 조성이라는 정책목표 융합을 천명하고 있다. 이러한 지원성과가 정책목표에 상응하는가, 정책 자체에 문제는 없는가를 평가하는 것이 연구목적이다. 이를 위해 2000년~2014년간 정책목표와 관련되는 통계지표의 변화를 분석하고 지자체의 자체평가와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 많은 집행과정의 문제점에도 불구하고 자연환경적으로 발전이 제약되는 도서 및 산악 접경지역을 예외로 하면 주민의 생활여건은 크게 개선되었다고 평가할 수 있다. 반면 개발위주의 정책은 자연환경을 훼손하고 군사규제와 끊임없이 갈등을 야기하고 있다. 정책목표들 간의 조화가 안정적인 지역발전에 바람직하며, 군사적 대치의 남북관계가 지속되는 한 군사우위의 정책목표체계가 훼손되어서는 안될 것이다.
