The Enduring Significance of the 1930s for Chile's Long Cold War

Abstract: Chile was no exception to the reorientation of Latin American politics during the 1930s. Radical politics, mass mobilizations, and defeated coups established major reference points for the memory and behaviour of political actors during the Cold War. Salvador Allende's template for how to deal with a military coup in 1973, for instance, came from his experience as health minister in 1939. That year he witnessed the Popular Front government defeat an insurrection. Events earlier in the decade profoundly shaped the Pinochet regime (1973–1990)'s view of democratic political transitions and their potential for anti-military backlash. Overseas, the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) tore the Iberian country apart and deeply impacted its former colonies. In Chile, the Spanish Civil War contributed to the establishing of ideological fault lines and political speech that framed the nation's electoral choices as one between fascism and communism, slavery or liberation. This article examines the significance of events in the 1930s for the subsequent politics of revolution and counterrevolution that gripped Chile in the second half of the twentieth century. It concurs with the concept of a 'long Cold War' in Latin America and argues that Chile entered a distinctly new phase in that struggle after 1931.

Using a Service Lens to Better Understand Practices –and Vice Versa

Many studies of practices involve service exchange, and many service researchers have discovered the central role that sociotechnical practices play in service –in particular, within the service-dominant logic school of thought. In this paper, we propose an analytical lens that builds on this mutual interest to understand complex practices involving service exchange. Practice researchers can gain new insights regarding practices embedded in service ecosystems. At the same time, service researchers can better explain actor behavior by looking deeper at sociotechnical practices. We develop a concept toolbox based on practice and service-dominant logic research literature. We illustrate the usefulness of the toolbox through an interpretative case study of public service to include children with disabilities in leisure activities. Seeing practices as parts of larger multi-stakeholder service ecosystems 1) can help us better explain behavior in those practices and understand how they are affected by other overlapping practices, 2) brings forward the importance of value and how multiple actors need to interact in order to create value for each other, and 3) enriches service-dominant logic with a focus on sociotechnical aspects that are central to many practice studies.

<와이 우먼 킬 시즌 I> 캐릭터 구현 요소에 따른 이미지 표현특성 연구

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the image expression characteristics according to the character implementation elements of the three heroines in the drama <Why Women Kill season I>. The elements of character implementation are 1) environmental factors of the times, 2) event factors, and 3) personality factors of characters. The background of the play is the 1960s, 1980s, and 2019, and the female image of each era is expressed using costumes, makeup, and accessories. In addition, it was found that the major events experienced by the character cause psychological changes, which affect the external image change, but the character of the character that has already been set is not greatly affected by the psychological change. Therefore, it can be seen that an actor's acting, expression, tone or behavior are important in completing a character, but image expression is a device that enhances an actor's performance. In addition, it plays a role in enabling the enjoyer to directly and immediately understand the character in the play.

New Literacy in Digital Era Study: How Economics Creative Develop Regional Economic

Purpose: This study aims to see that new literacy in this global era can influence regional economic development in the digital era through creative economy actors. The focus of the new literacy of the current digital era is data literacy, technological literacy, and human literacy. Theoretical framework: This research takes the Theory of Planned Behavior which is based on the research of Juergens (2020), Claes and Philippette (2020), and Sander (2020), who stated that the behavior of creative economy actors in the digital era had been based on new literacy that has developed, namely data, technology, and humans. The ability of creative economy actors to control new literacy can impact economic developers in each region. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses an exploratory quantitative approach because it wants to see advanced phenomena that each variable cannot explain. The population in this study is very large because it covers all creative economy actors in Indonesia. The sample was calculated using Slovin with a tolerance of 10%, and a sample of 374 perpetrators was obtained. The sampling technique is random sampling, with the data collection technique being a questionnaire that is analyzed using the Structural Equation Model test with the help of WarpPLS as an analytical tool. Findings: This study reveals that the three new literacies affect regional economic development because those three new literacies can increase the progress of creative economics in the digital economy era. However, they have weak significance; the unconsciousness of creative economy actors indicates this to participate in developing their area. The government must make appropriate policies to increase new literacy for creative economy actors to increase regional development through the creative economy. Research, practical & social implication: This research is expected to be a recommendation material that benefits regional development and can primarily be implemented to develop creative economics actors who have an important meaning in regional economics. Originality/Value: This research focuses on new literacy that has developed rapidly in the global era to survive in the digital age. Data literacy, technology, and humans are taken as variables that had never existed before and applied to regional creative economy actors.

Do Land Use and Land Cover Scenarios Support More Integrated Land Use Management?

In agricultural landscape management, the conventional top-down approaches that primarily focus on market-led responses struggle to preserve the landscape elements essential for environmental sustainability. To address this deficiency, land use and land cover change (LUCC) scenarios promote an integrated understanding of landscape dynamics and highlight the inconsistency between the compartmentalisation of the public sector (“siloisation”) and the necessity for management that reflects the interdependencies of socio-ecological systems. This study investigates the extent to which the creation and dissemination of LUCC scenarios lead to modifications in the values, attitudes, and behaviours of local actors engaged in land management, giving particular emphasis to the role of these scenarios in encouraging integrated management. To accomplish this objective, we interviewed local actors who actively participated in the co-construction of the scenario narratives or learned about the scenarios during dissemination workshops. We then analysed the data via a thematic and lexicometric analysis. The findings highlighted the dual function of these scenarios as a catalyst for pre-existing political will to promote integrated management and as a tool for raising awareness about major environmental challenges. At the group level, the outcomes encompassed aspects such as basing political decisions on the results of scenarios and fostering collaboration between institutions. These outcomes were observed among the actors involved in co-constructing scenarios or those with pre-existing motivations to pursue integrated management initiatives. Additional personal outcomes included an increased awareness of environmental challenges and the consolidation of non-formalised knowledge. We argue that combining co-construction and dissemination enhances the outcomes of scenarios considerably.

Climate, Women, and Conflict: Rebel Groups’ Armed Activities after Major Disasters

Abstract This study builds long-anticipated bridges between the literature on (i) climate/disaster security, (ii) women, peace, and security, and (iii) rebel group behavior. Specifically, I analyze how rebel groups react to disasters (like droughts, earthquakes, floods, or storms) by intensifying or reducing their armed activities. This addresses a crucial knowledge gap: While a large literature is dealing with the impacts of climate change and disasters on armed conflict onset or incidence, knowledge on how environmental factors shape the behavior of particular conflict actors remains scarce. I argue that rebel groups escalate fighting when disaster-related opportunities occur (e.g., easier recruitment) but scale back their armed activities if adversely affected by the disasters (e.g., loss of resources). However, this relationship is contingent of the rebels’ inclusion of female combatants. Empirically, this study draws on a unique sample of thirty-six cases of disasters striking armed conflict zones and integrates quantitative and qualitative data via a qualitative comparative analysis. The results suggest that rebel groups intensify their armed activities to exploit disaster-related opportunities but can only do so when female combatants provide them with sufficient capabilities. Conversely, rebels have to reduce fighting when adversely affected by disasters unless they can draw on female members to cope with disaster impacts.

КНР и борьба за дискурсивную гегемонию:роль стратегических нарративов

Power in international relations implies not only the possession of outstanding material resources, but also the ability to proposeand popularize attractive ideas, values, and norms and thus control discourse. Scholars note that during the presidencyof Xi Jinping, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has joined the struggle for discursive hegemony. This change in China’sforeign policy requires systematic study, for which the concept of a strategic narrative has analytical value. As defined byA. Miskimmon, B. O’Loughlin and L. Roselle, strategic narratives “are a means for political actors to construct a sharedmeaning of the past, present, and future of international politics to shape the behavior of domestic and international actors.”This article provides an overview of strategic narratives as a conceptual lens to study international relations, summarizesthe existing research of strategic narratives in general and regarding the Chinese case in particular, and suggestsdirections for future studies. The core idea of Chinese strategic narratives is that the PRC is a new type of great power that iscapable of changing the existing unjust and conflict-prone world order. At the same time, China does not propose to radicallyrevise the international system – it portrays the world as divided into great powers and the rest. Overall, China’s strategicnarratives are characterized by a duality that reflects the complexity of China’s foreign policy interests and its attempt toexpand the field of opportunity. Aimed to support different agendas, narratives include references both to the “century ofhumiliation” and the more recent successful experience of China’s modernization. The content of the narratives suggeststhat China is mainly trying to attract the developing countries of the Global South and thus form its own group of followers.However, there is significant variation in communication processes, namely the formation, projection, and reception ofChina’s strategic narratives. The study of this variation, as well as the analysis of the effectiveness of Chinese narratives, isa promising direction for future research.

How to fail in advertising: The potential of marketing theory to predict the community-level selection of defended prey.

Economics and ecology both present us with a key challenge: scaling up from individual behaviour to community-level effects. As a result, biologists have frequently utilized theories and frameworks from economics in their attempt to better understand animal behaviour. In the study of predator-prey interactions, we face a particularly difficult task-understanding how predator choices and strategies will impact the ecology and evolution not just of individual prey species, but whole communities. However, a similar challenge has been encountered, and largely solved, in Marketing, which has created frameworks that successfully predict human consumer behaviour at the community level. We argue that by applying these frameworks to non-human consumers, we can leverage this predictive power to understand the behaviour of these key ecological actors in shaping the communities they act upon. We here use predator-prey interactions, as a case study, to demonstrate and discuss the potential of marketing and human-consumer theory in helping us bridge the gap from laboratory experiments to complex community dynamics.

Supplier selection strategy – NPV comparison

The supply chain has gained prominence in recent years, both in specialized literature and in economic practice, being defined and analysed as an operational component of the behaviour of economic actors, both those with global activities and those with localized activities. The main aspects related to this thematic area are associated with complex concepts that have a quantifiable economic impact in terms of money, time, quality, and competitiveness. Supplier selection has become a matter of strategic partnership within global supply chains enabling customer performance and competitiveness, thus increasing supply chain leaders’ awareness to develop and implement complex tools and metrics for supplier comparison before business award, one of the representative being net present value comparison. Net Present Value is defined as the sum of the investment's expected cash inflows and outflows discounted back to their present value at a company-agreed risk-adjusted rate. This study is focused on showing how an assessment of comparative net present values can clarify a business case and improve the decision making process towards a particular supplier selection, together with meeting project budget, internal targets, financial risk assessment, and strategic planning.

“At home among strangers”: GR-management as political governance in the arsenal of “non-political” agents

The topic under consideration is still in the orbit of the domestic discussion of political scientists and specialists in Government Relations (GR). And there is no agreement among them yet regarding the subject field of the discipline being studied. Opinions differ, referring GR to applied political science, sociology of communications, or corporate management. This article analyzes the problems of defining the subject of GR-management as an applied political science discipline, as well as its categorical apparatus. The peculiarity of GR as a type of political management is that the goal-setting unit of the activities of GR managers and corporate lobbyists is located in an “internal” and “non-political” environment (economic, social, etc.), which may be associated with maintaining the competitiveness of the firm and obtaining economic profit by it. But the means to achieve these goals are already located in the “external” socio-political environment, in which the field of political behavior of interested actors is formed. And here we are faced with the phenomenon of “inversion” of the particular interests represented in public policy, when in order to promote them it is necessary to convert the goals of the economic strategy into adequate private issues when building a common public agenda, and into specific tasks of the strategy and tactics of an already special GR campaign.

The Low-Carbon Economy as an Institutional Project: Challenges and ObjectivesMargarita V. Kurbatova

The article considers the process of creating new laws in the sphere of ecological regulation in connection with the climate change to be the means of shaping new institutional structures that can potentially transform the behavior of economic actors and the directions of resource flows. The problem statement and goal setting for the institutional design of the climate-environment agenda are scrutinized in the article. Scientific and political-economic foundations for choosing the direction of the global community's response to the threats of climate change and the corresponding institutional changes are highlighted in this research. The mechanisms of sustainable development priorities transformation towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the transition to renewable energy sources are demonstrated in the paper. The concept of the low-carbon economy associated with the carbon-neutral constraints on economic activity is described in the paper in details. The author offers the project of institutional transformation that implies the creation of new institutions for a global response to climate change threats. The measures for ensuring the mild adaptation of economic actors to the new type of ecological constraints are also elaborated. According to the authors, one of the most significant challenges of climate change lies in the creation and simultaneous existence of overlapping institutional projects at the global and national levels. Given the inevitability of climate change, the measures ensuring the adaptation of the economy and society to the consequences of ecological changes should be prioritized. It is recommended to intensify the formation of the institutional project in line with the national interest of creating a competitive advantage for the Russian economy.
