Transnational Corporations versus the State

The Political Economy of the Mexican Auto Industry

By: Douglas C. Bennett,Kenneth E. Sharpe

The historical-structural method employed here rejects analyses that are excessively voluntaristic or deterministic. The authors show that while the state was able to mitigate certain adverse consequences of TNC strategies, new forms of dependency continued to limit Mexico's options. Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

ESG Investment Outcomes, Performance Evaluation, and Attribution

By: Stephen M. Horan,Elroy Dimson,Clive Emery,Kenneth Blay,Glen Yelton,Ankit Agarwal

ESG strategies have experienced a massive inflow of capital over the past decade despite investors having little concrete evidence that ESG investing accomplishes its purported goals. It has also happened without investors having the information, tools, and methods needed to evaluate and communicate their specific ESG values, objectives, and preferences. Without evidence of efficacy and clearly articulated investment objectives, it is impossible for investors with ESG intent to know if they are getting what they are paying for, to distinguish between investment managers based on non-financial objectives, or to improve the likelihood of achieving positive ESG investing outcomes. This paper highlights key challenges faced by ESG investors and portfolio managers implementing ESG investment mandates. It then addresses these challenges focusing on relevant fund reporting, provides guidance on the information required to make informed ESG investing decisions, and proposes a performance evaluation and attribution framework to support the ESG investment management process.

Democratization Without Representation

Democratization Without Representation

The Politics of Small Industry in Mexico

By: Kenneth C. Shadlen

When countries become more democratic, new opportunities arise for individuals and groups to participate in politics and influence the making of policy. But democratization does not ensure better representation for everyone, and indeed some sectors of society are ill-equipped to take advantage of these new opportunities. Small industry in Mexico, Kenneth Shadlen shows, is an excellent example of a sector whose representation decreased during democratization. Shadlen’s analysis focuses on the basic characteristics of small firms that complicate the process of securing representation in both authoritarian and democratic environments. He then shows how increased pluralism and electoral competition served to exacerbate the political problems facing the sector during the course of democratization in Mexico. These characteristics created problems for small firms both in acting collectively through interest associations and civil society organizations and in wielding power within political parties. The changes that democratization effected in the structure of corporatism put small industry at a significant disadvantage in the policy-making arena even while there was general agreement on the crucial importance of this sector in the new neoliberal economy, especially for generating employment. The final chapter extends the analysis by making comparisons with the experience of small industry representation in Argentina and Brazil. Shadlen uses extensive interviews and archival research to provide new evidence and insights on the difficult challenges of interest aggregation and representation for small industry. He conducted interviews with a wide range of owners and managers of small firms, state and party officials, and leaders of business associations and civil society organizations. He also did research at the National Archives in Mexico City and in the archives of the most important business organizations for small industry in the post-World War II period.

Aging or Alzheimer's?

A Doctor's Personal Guide to Memory Loss, Cognitive Decline, and Dementia

By: Kenneth Frumkin

Is it normal aging, Alzheimer’s, or another dementia? Two of three Americans will experience cognitive impairment by the age of 70. But is it natural age-related forgetfulness, or the early indication of Alzheimer’s Disease or other types of dementia? How worried should older people—or their families and friends—be about their memory loss? And what happens next? Kenneth Frumkin, PhD, MD, recently retired from a 36-year medical career and facing his own age- and memory-related challenges, provides an empathetic and comprehensive guide to answering those questions. Aging or Alzheimer's? explains what is currently known about the challenges to memory and cognition that come with longevity. Dr. Frumkin describes the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias; discusses when to see a doctor and what to expect from the visit; weighs the pros and cons of available tests, treatments, and research; shares personal and passionate tips for coping with decline; and gives the best ways to preserve cognitive health. There are an average of 15 new Alzheimer’s publications per day. While busy practicing doctors often wait for the consensus reviews of new Alzheimer’s studies that are published about every 10 years, Dr. Frumkin provides evidence-based, up-to-date guidance from the most current memory research. The result is your complete, modern guide to understanding and managing your—or your loved ones’—memory loss or cognitive decline.

Trauma, 8th Edition

By: Ernest E. Moore,David V. Feliciano,Kenneth L. Mattox

The world’s leading resource on trauma surgery― with an expanded full-color atlas A Doody's Core Title for 2017! Hailed by readers and reviewers for its expert authorship and high-yield clinical content, Trauma is unquestionably the field’s definitive text. Enhanced by a full-color design and a high-quality atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical approaches, this trusted classic takes readers through the full range of injuries the trauma surgeon is likely to encounter. Supported by numerous x-rays, CT scans, plus tables throughout, Trauma begins with an informative look at kinematics and the mechanisms of trauma injury. Subsequent chapters provide useful background information on the epidemiology of trauma; injury prevention; the basics of trauma systems, triage, and transport; and much more. The next section meticulously reviews generalized approaches to the trauma patient, from pre-hospital care and managing shock, to emergency department thoracotomy and the management of infections. Trauma then delivers a clear organ-by-organ survey of treatment protocols designed to help clinicians respond to any critical care situation with confidence, no matter what body system is involved. The remaining sections of the book will help readers successfully handle specific challenges in trauma―including alcohol and drug abuse, and combat-related wounds―in addition to post-traumatic complications such as multiple organ failure. • Media download with high-quality procedural videos • Increased number of algorithms and illustrations • More international authors • Expanded Trauma Atlas contains precise, full-color anatomical illustrations and proven surgical techniques • High-yield section on specific approaches to the trauma patient prepares readers for the complete spectrum of cases in trauma/critical surgery care they will face in real-world practice • A-to-Z overview of the management of specific traumatic injuries • Detailed discussion of the management of complications
