This paper updates and expands the database on systemic banking crises presented in Laeven and Valencia (IMF Econ Rev 61(2):225–270, 2013a). The database draws on 151 systemic banking crisis episodes ...around the globe during 1970–2017 to include information on crisis dates, policy responses to resolve banking crises, and their fiscal and output costs. We provide new evidence that crises in high-income countries tend to last longer and be associated with higher output losses, lower fiscal costs, and more extensive use of bank guarantees and expansionary macro-policies than crises in low- and middle-income countries. We complement the banking crisis dates with sovereign debt and currency crises dates to find that sovereign debt and currency crises tend to coincide with or follow banking crises.
This article discusses the winning of the 1970 World Cup by the Brazilian team and how the military dictatorship and especially President Medici took advantage of this triumph to mask the entire ...scenario of repression that the country was experiencing. Aspects of the president's participation will be analyzed before, during and after the winningof the cup, investigating how the victory of the Brazilian team in Mexico was used by Médici to legitimize and glorify his government and the dictatorship in the country, manipulating the population through nationalist chants and representations of the titled “savior of the nation”. Therefore, this article was justified as a qualitative research that seeks to elucidate the issue of soccer as mass manipulation, emphasizing President Medici's effort to link the victory of the Brazilian team to his government, controlling the press through publications that linked his image and mandate to the Brazilian team Three-time Chanpionship, in order to create a “Brazilian” nationalist figure and guarantee the support of the population. The results of this article were obtained through a partial, descriptive case study with a qualitative, documentary and bibliographic nature, analyzing the works of Marcos Guterman (2004) and (2006), Ricardo Martins (1999), Ernesto Marczal (2013), Jônatas Santos (2017), among others.
This paper provides a critique of existing research on the internationalization process of the firm and proposes an agenda for future inquiry. In recent years, process approaches have received ...increasing attention in management research, leading to a more refined understanding of the distinction between process and variance paradigms. We apply a process lens to a well‐established sub‐field of international business, namely the internationalization process of the firm. We review how this research tradition has evolved over four decades. The review commences with a reassessment of the seminal ‘stage models’ that date back to the 1970s. It then proceeds to classify subsequent research on the basis of whether it includes process data and/or process theorizing. It is found that the majority of studies in this review do not combine process data with process theorizing. We show how, even in studies that contain some process elements, a process approach is not always sustained throughout the paper. On the basis of this review, six research themes are proposed, which would form the basis for a process agenda for future research.

Did America's fortieth president lead a conservative counterrevolution that left liberalism gasping for air? The answer, for both his admirers and his detractors, is often "yes." InMorning in ...America, Gil Troy argues that the Great Communicator was also the Great Conciliator. His pioneering and lively reassessment of Ronald Reagan's legacy takes us through the 1980s in ten year-by-year chapters, integrating the story of the Reagan presidency with stories of the decade's cultural icons and watershed moments-from personalities to popular television shows.
One such watershed moment was the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. With the trauma of Vietnam fading, the triumph of America's 1983 invasion of tiny Grenada still fresh, and a reviving economy, Americans geared up for a festival of international harmony that-spurred on by an entertainment-focused news media, corporate sponsors, and the President himself-became a celebration of the good old U.S.A. At the Games' opening, Reagan presided over a thousand-voice choir, a 750-member marching band, and a 90,000-strong teary-eyed audience singing "America the Beautiful!" while waving thousands of flags.
Reagan emerges more as happy warrior than angry ideologue, as a big-picture man better at setting America's mood than implementing his program. With a vigorous Democratic opposition, Reagan's own affability, and other limiting factors, the eighties were less counterrevolutionary than many believe. Many sixties' innovations went mainstream, from civil rights to feminism. Reagan fostered a political culture centered on individualism and consumption-finding common ground between the right and the left.
Written with verve,Morning in Americais both a major new look at one of America's most influential modern-day presidents and the definitive story of a decade that continues to shape our times.
A Señales que precederán al fin del mundo (2009) de Yuri Herrera, el viatge del protagonista és una presentació del descens al Mictlán. Unit a això, la novel·la s’articula sobre mites de l’origen ...fred i la unitat caòtica que caracteritzaven l’Univers nahua. L’objectiu del present treball és mostrar la relació entre aspectes de mites prehispànics i la violència que s’ordeix com a teló de fons en el text. La reformulació del relat d’arrel mítica apunta cap a una presència normalitzada de la mort en l’actualitat mexicana. Per aquest motiu, l’obra podria analitzar-se a partir del concepte necroescriptures.
What would political thought look like without the foundation of ethics? Drawing on the work of Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida and Jean-Luc Nancy, Madeleine Fagan puts forward a radical and ...far-reaching refusal of foundational ethics. Instead, she proposes an account of the inseparability of ethics and politics. The 'ethical' should not be understood as a label; it does not mean 'good' or 'right', it is not an evaluation or guide. Rather, both the ethical and the political are descriptions of the context in which we find ourselves. The book highlights the necessity of a practice-based rethinking of the relationship between ethics and politics and so denaturalises a series of commonplaces about poststructuralist ethics.
Renovating Russiais a richly comparative investigation of late Imperial and early Soviet medico-scientific theories of moral and social disorder. Daniel Beer argues that in the late Imperial years ...liberal psychiatrists, psychologists, and criminologists grappled with an intractable dilemma. They sought to renovate Russia, to forge a modern enlightened society governed by the rule of law, but they feared the backwardness, irrationality, and violent potential of the Russian masses. Situating their studies of degeneration, crime, mental illness, and crowd psychology in a pan-European context, Beer shows how liberals' fears of societal catastrophe were only heightened by the effects of industrial modernization and the rise of mass politics.
In the wake of the orgy of violence that swept the Empire in the 1905 Revolution, these intellectual elites increasingly put their faith in coercive programs of scientific social engineering. Their theories survived liberalism's political defeat in 1917 and meshed with the Bolsheviks' radical project for social transformation. They came to sanction the application of violent transformative measures against entire classes, culminating in the waves of state repression that accompanied forced industrialization and collectivization.Renovating Russiathus offers a powerful revisionist challenge to established views of the fate of liberalism in the Russian Revolution.
The essay reflects on the impact that offensive communications addressed at trade union, through social networks, can have on the dynamics of industrial relations. Particular attention is given to ...the behaviors put in place by the employer and aimed at favoring a specific trade union or a specific “group” of workers.
