Uruguay and the United States, 1903–1929: Diplomacy in the Progressive Era
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/new_foreign_relations/9/thumbnail.jpgA comprehensive history of the relationship between the United States and reformist Uruguay
Despite its fascinating history, the attention paid by North American historians to Uruguay, a nation nestled in the corner of South America between Argentina and Brazil, is scant when compared to that shown to its neighbors. A major portion of the Uruguayan story revolves around the figure of two-time president José Batlle y Ordóñez, who was the nation’s dominant political figure between 1903 and 1929. Historians have credited Batlle with creating the hemisphere’s first welfare state. Under his guidance, Uruguay passed laws in the area of workers’ rights, unemployment compensation, public education, public works, and voting expansion. Ever ambitious, Batlle sought to make Uruguay the world’s “model country.”
Uruguay and the United States, 1903–1929 is the first study to look at the political, social, and commercial relationship between Batlle’s Uruguay and the Progressive Era United States. Using government records from Montevideo and Washington, as well as newspapers, the personal papers of many of the key actors, and a variety of other sources, author James Knarr examines how this ideological and harmonious relationship developed between Batllistas in Uruguay and Progressives in the United States.
Through his analysis of diplomatic, commercial, and cultural bonds, Knarr comprehensively explores how Batlle’s liberal ideas, partially built on U.S. concepts, resulted in a relationship that brought rewards for both the United States and Uruguay. This work is a must read for historians of U.S. foreign relations and Latin America.</p

Establishing a Strategic View of Sport Events: Marketing a Multiphase Sport Experience
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/node/9978/8868-thumbnail.jpgThe multiphase leisure experience looks at the experience as a five phase process that includes anticipation, travel to, onsite behavior, travel from, and recollection. This continuum depicts a dynamic experience, one that evolves and matures across the five phases. The purpose of this study is to take this model and apply it to sport events. Understanding sport events as a multiphase experience will require a new way of thinking and new research endeavors. This paper serves the purpose of both increasing the awareness of multiphase sport experiences and providing direction for future research. Sport events will continue to grow in number and the multiphase sport experience research will allow sport organizations an opportunity to provide a better, more satisfying service experience for the sport consumer. It will also allow marketers to evolve their event brands through additional ancillary and secondary service elements. Overall, recognizing an event as a multiphase experience will create a competitive advantage for sport event marketers wishing to develop and/or maintain strong brand equity. This will enable sport managers to strategically outperform competitors and differentiate from the others to stay competitive.</p

Shannon and Hubbard Were Friends? Provocations in Creative Browsing and Friends in Scholarly Discord
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/acir/2012/Papers/1/thumbnail.jpgWe have taken this as an occasion to revisit the role of browsing in seeking information especially the information of new connections no matter the realm. When one is attempting to go beyond the norm, the recognized public knowledge, one has to search without ordinary finding aids. Finding aids are generally based on what is known. Documents are assigned subject headings from within a list of terms for what is known. Going beyond the norm requires a level of comfort with the unknown and with ambiguity. Setting aside any judgments about Hubbard and Shannon, we see two men capable of striking out into the unknown and making new connections.</p
The nature and consequences of informational differences in exoteric versus esoteric spiritual practices
No full texthttps://kent-islandora.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/acir/2012/Papers/7/thumbnail.jpg Two broadly different approaches to spiritual practice exist within virtually every religious tradition. Though the specific characterization and evaluation of these different practices vary among authors, their general nature is reasonably clear. The exoteric path represents the more conventional approach to religion involving ongoing participation in the practices and activities of an established religious community (synagogue, church, mosque, temple, etc.). Alternatively, the esoteric path tends to be more individualistic and mystical in orientation. Within a given tradition, the two approaches are never in opposition to each other but can nonetheless involve complex, bivalent inter-relations. The present paper examines these two forms of practice in terms of their informational characteristics. It is primarily concerned with the amount of information each style of practice generates and processes within a small set of general but relevant contexts. It shows that the two styles of practice result in highly characteristic differences in the generation and processing of information. In addition, the paper argues that important consequences of these differences concern how they both reflect and impact the practitioner’s religious faith and their sense of self. </p
