Abstract

Published in 1998. Rapidly advancing information technology plays an important role in the formation of new corporate organizations. Some people say, in fact, that the Internet itself may well suggest a future corporate organization. Under these circumstances, how is the corporate culture, which is integral to the organization, to be duly taken? What is an appropriate culture to the would-be future business organization, which will necessarily be all the more supported and strengthened by information technology? In the author's view, the cultures fit in well with the structure of enterprise competitiveness can readily evolve into the 21st century organization. Such a culture would, with no difficulty, find an arena of its own in the future organization and eventually become integral to the company.

Abstract

L'élection de Barack Obama comme l'accession de Donald Trump à la présidence des États-Unis ont illustré le désarroi et les interrogations des Américains, et symbolisé tout autant une crise d'identité nationale qu'une remise en question du rapport au monde des États-Unis. Ces deux scrutins traduisent la profonde transformation d'un pays - de nain diplomatique au début du XIXe siècle à hyperpuissance à la fin du XXe siècle - dont la suprématie mondiale est de plus contestée, notamment par l'ascension de la Chine. Trump comme Obama (et Washington, Wilson, Roosevelt, Kennedy ou Nixon avant eux) sont pourtant le produit de l'histoire singulière des États-Unis, l'histoire de 13 colonies à la "destinée manifeste" partant à l'assaut d'un continent, puis bientôt du monde, en près de deux siècles. Montrant le lien entre actions extérieures et évolutions internes ou disséquant un certain nombre de mythes, dont le prétendu isolationnisme, Maya Kandel propose par une remise en perspective salutaire de repenser l'histoire de la politique étrangère américaine depuis la naissance des États-Unis.

Abstract

Mass Media, Consumerism and National Identity in Postwar Japan addresses Japan's evolving nationalism and national identity in relation to its newly rising consumerism during the two decades from 1952 to 1972, through a study of the transformation of the print media and the market for weekly and monthly magazines. Martyn Smith argues that the transformation of the print media in the 1950s and 1960s expanded the possibilities for social, individual and national identities in Japan. From the late 1950s, the growth in the market for weekly magazines was fuelled by the huge potential for advertising revenue, the rapid development of the Japanese economy, and the necessity for the growth of a consumer society. This resulted in the merging of national identity with individual subjectivity - which this book describes as `national subjectivity' - as the Japanese media promoted individual consumption to aid the recovery of the Japanese nation as a whole. Examining housewife magazines such as Fujin Koron, Fujin no Tomo and Fujin Gaho, as well as news magazines such as Mainichi Graph and Asahi Graph, and publications aimed at young people - Shukan Heibon and Heibon Punch - Smith shows how the relationship of nationalism to everyday life is best understood by taking into account the changing nature of consumption in the period. By presenting an alternative to the traditional `top-down' narrative of state-driven economic nationalism, this book therefore makes a unique contribution to the study of postwar Japanese history and Japanese nationalism.

Abstract

This book explores the political ideas of the Belgian Revolution of 1830, which led to the break-up of the Restoration state of the ‘united’ Kingdom of the Netherlands. It uncovers the origins of liberalism and political Catholicism in the Southern Netherlands in the wake of the French Revolution, and traces the development of political language in the context of the tensions between the Northern and Southern part of the united Netherlands. It shows how differences in ‘Dutch’ and ‘Belgian’ political and intellectual history resulted in different understandings of essential political concepts such as ‘sovereignty’ and ‘balance of powers’, as well as of the nature of the constitutional order of 1815. Finally, it traces the emergence of Belgian nationalism within the discourse of opposition against the government. Stefaan Marteel therefore provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual background of the rise of the nation-state in the nineteenth century.
