Responding to globalization
\"The new challenges and opportunities created by the spread of globalization have reshaped both institutional and individual responses to this phenomenon. This comprehensive analysis of the way in which governments and firms have responded to globalization examines closely the options available to both, and the historical and institutional contexts to the strategic decisions made.\" \"This rigorous survey focuses on political, ideational and economic factors lying behind these responses to globalization. It is essential reading for all those interested in globalization, international business and international political economy.\"--Jacket.

Technology, Television, and Competition
In the late 1980s and 1990s, the advanced industrial countries considered replacing the existing analogue television infrastructure with a new digital one. A key common feature to the debates over digital TV (DTV) in the United States, Western Europe and Japan was the eventual victory of the ideas of digitalism (the superiority of everything digital over everything analogue) and of digital convergence (the merging of computing, telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructures made possible by digitalization) in public debates over standards. Jeffrey Hart's book shows how nationalism and regionalism combined with digitalism to produce three different and incompatible DTV standards in the three regions, an outcome which has led to missed opportunities in developing the new technologies. Hart's book contributes to our understanding of relations between business and government, and of competition between the world's great economic powers.

A cladistic analysis of conifers: preliminary results
A data matrix of 123 binary and multistate characters of 63 genera of conifers was constructed based on an extensive literature review and study of herbarium and living specimens. Subsequent cladistic analysis of this matrix strongly supports the monophyly of conifers; there is no reason to exclude the taxads. Sciadopitys should be considered as constituting a separate family, the Sciadopityaceae, which appears to be the sister group of the Cupressaceae-Taxodiaceae lineage. The Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae together form a monophyletic group. The Cupressaceae form a monophyletic group within this lineage and can be divided into two groups, one of northern and the other of southern taxa. Within the Southern Hemisphere group, there are monophyletic groupings with separate Gondwanaland distributions. The remaining Taxodiaceae appear to be paraphyletic. The Taxaceae and Cephalotaxaceae also come out as sister taxa. The Pinaceae appear to be the sister group of the other living conifers. The placement of Araucariaceae and Podocarpaceae in relationship to the other living conifers is problematic.

The Making of the American Conservative Mind
National Review has been the leading conservative national magazine since it was founded in 1955, and in that capacity it has played a decisive role in shaping the conservative movement in the United States. In The Making of the American Conservative Mind, Jeffrey Hart provides an authoritative and high-spirited history of how the magazine has come to define and defend conservatism for the past fifty years. He also gives a firsthand account of the thought and sometimes colorful personalities—including James Burnham, Willmoore Kendall, Russell Kirk, Frank Meyer, William Rusher, Priscilla Buckley, Gerhart Niemeyer, and, of course, the magazine's founder, William F. Buckley Jr.—who contributed to National Review 's life and wide influence. As Hart sees it, National Review has regularly veered toward ideology, but it has also regularly corrected its course toward, in Buckley's phrase, a \"politics of reality.\" Its catholicity and originality—attributable to Buckley's magnanimity and sense of showmanship—has made the magazine the most interesting of its kind in the nation, concludes Hart. His highly readable and occasionally contrarian history, the first history of National Review yet published, marks another milestone in our understanding of how the conservatism now so influential in American political life draws from, and in some ways repudiates, the intellectual project that National Review helped launch a half century ago.

Indicators of Economic Integration
Two approaches to developing indicators of economic integration at the national level & the implications of employing these indicators for the firms & factors of production & economic policy are assessed. The first approach to economic integration indicators utilizes institutional convergence across borders. Countries can be economically integrated if institutional obstacles, such as import & export barriers, capital controls, & barriers to foreign direct investment (FDI) & technology transfer are removed. The means to remove them rests within & between countries, but also supranationally. The second approach to economic integration indicators utilizes outcome measures like the gross domestic product (GDP), the ratio of FDI flows to GDP, or the ratio of FDI inflows to gross fixed capital formation. Combining both sets of indicators may be more representative of economic integration than either set separately, but the combination could be enhanced by adding indicators on the microfoundations of economic activity & factors of production flows, eg, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, land, & technology. Concerns with the use of multiple indicators or a composite index of economic integration are discussed. M. Pflum
