Who's 'free riding'? A critique of the World Bank's approach to non-concessional borrowing in low income countries
No full textThis paper considers the current proposals by the World Bank to curb the potential for ‘free riding’ in relation to financial support and multilateral debt relief to low-income countries. Measures to address the ‘free rider’ issue will form a pivotal plank in the World Bank’s future strategy towards low-income borrowing members and will also inform some of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s policies in this respect. This paper analyses the proposals in light of current trends in development financing policy and practice, particularly the shifting patterns of official and private financial flows to developing countries, and demonstrates the disjuncture between the conceptual approach of the Bank and Fund to the issue of ‘free riding’ and their operational practice over the past two decades. It is argued here that the Bank proposals are less motivated by a concern over the future debt sustainability of their low-income borrowers but by the realpolitik and financial exigencies facing the Bretton Woods institutions today. Consequently, the measures proposed are not only operationally flawed but represent instead new mechanisms to continue binding IDA countries to financing flows – and thereby financial discipline – by the Bank and the Fund during a time where these institutions are struggling to maintain their operational relevance and political legitimacy
The World Trade Organization and the turbulent legacy of international economic law-making in the long twentieth century
No full textIn "The Long Twentieth Century: Money, Power and the Origins of Our Times" (Verso, 1994), Giovanni Arrighi argues that the history of capitalism is a history of cycles of capitalist accumulation dominated by a leading agency of capital accumulation in the form of a state. For Arrighi, every dominant cycle of systemic accumulation is characterised by a signal point when the profits derived from trade become so poor that money is switched from trade to mobile or investment capital. These signal points and their accompanying switches are autumnal and generally inaugurate a period of economic turbulence. They do not, however, spell the immediate end of the dominant regime of capital accumulation. Based on this account, which neatly rolls together a range of significant structural effects, the chapter constructs an argument about the creation and future of the WTO. This analysis of the implications of Arrighi’s work suggests that the current processes of world government formation, including those sustaining the WTO, are unlikely to survive the termination of the US period of dominance. Might this projected death of the WTO mark the moment in which the process of de-colonisation is truly completed
Louis-Ferdinand Celine and the Magic of Words
No full textThe article is related the idea of the so-called "aesthetic revolution in language" by Celine. The author focuses on the peculiaritiees Celine's new language, namely the fusion of conversational and literary elements, the introduction of argot and neologisms, the special meaning of rhythm, intonation and speech melody which have an amportant impact. The writer constructs his phrases in accordance with the image of the hostile and aggressive world. Applying the complex method of research (comparative-historical, biographical, hermeneutic and intertextual), the author discloses the uniqueness of Celine's language. Celine destroyed the monopoly of the standard literary language conclusively. Moreover, Celine created a "new syntax" - "a language within language" - that helps the reader hear and see the world without either explaning anything or imposing any interpretation

Truth and untruth: Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Voyage au bout de la nuit and the memory of the Great War 1914-1918
No full textThis thesis examines Louis-Ferdinand Celine’s 1932 novel Voyage au bout de la nuit as a rewriting of his memory of the Great War 1914-1918. It seeks to resolve the truth problematic posed by the inversion in Voyage au bout de la nuit of Celine’s experience in the war, primarily the transition from Celine’s heroism in the war to his fictional self-portrait as the coward, Bardamu. It seeks to clarify the role and value of Celine’s fictional witness to war by placing the novel in a broadly developed context of the war and its commemoration. A major premise of this thesis is that Celine was traumatised by the war and that his rewriting of his war experience is informed by his need to break free of traumatised memory through the creation of a new, literary narrative of his personal past. By drawing on the literature of trauma and survival, as well as on studies of the Great War and other wars, this thesis succeeds in establishing that Celine was, indeed, traumatised by his war experience and succeeds in showing the many ways in which this trauma shapes Voyage. It also provides a thorough account of how Voyage as literary artefact engages with the memory of the Great War and how it functions as witness to war and the consequence of war. It brings us ultimately towards the dynamic of accusation which lies at the heart of Celine’s traumatic memory of the Great War and which underlies its keynotes of irony, satire and invective. This thesis is multi-disciplinary in its approach, drawing on historical, biographical, psychological, and literary studies. It provides an important contribution to Celine studies, but also to studies of the Great War, the memory and literature of the Great War and to studies of twentieth-century trauma, memory and identity

Braving the blue ocean: Investigating the corporate strategy of Celine Marketing Corporation
No full textThis study examined the strategic approach of a homegrown corporation, Celine Marketing Corporation, highlighting the corporate strategies of the firm. The research likewise questioned the possible application and contribution of Kim and Mauborgne\u27s Blue Ocean Strategy to the organization. Since the author had internal access with the company, the researcher participated in the organization and facilitated an action research study to answer these inquiries. The researcher triangulated the results and further used it for pattern matching, alongside the utilization of the SWOT analysis to examine the organizational resources and capabilities of the firm.
Consequently, the actual results showed the company made use of one of the Six Paths that aided in the creation of blue oceans. This implied that the concept of the Blue Ocean Strategy can be applied to the company, and subsequently contribute to the development of the firm. The author, in collaboration with the research participants analyzed the data and put certain directives into action. The researcher and kingpins subsequently reviewed these strategies in compliance with the nature of action research. Finally, the author created three blue oceans for the three brands of the corporation, namely, Celine, CMG, and SO!FAB. This investigation therefore presents an interesting discussion for entrepreneurs as well as corporate workers. The researcher recommends the auxiliary studies on the Blue Ocean Strategy will further solidify its application and contribution to the local setting
