On the occasion of the thirty-first anniversary of the publication of The Multinational Corporation and the Law of Uneven Development by Hymer, the paper seeks to assess the relevance of Hymer’s prediction to our current understanding of the multinational company (MNC) and its role in world economic development. It argues that the largely ethnocentric type of MNC portrayed by Hymer is descripti...

Communication between persons who trust each other differs from that between those who do not. A new conceptualization of trust is offered, drawing from game theory, credibility research, sensitivity/ encounter groups, and studies of generalized expectations of trustworthiness, which makes an important distinction between the cognitive state of iiust and trusting behaviors. Trusting behavior oc...

- 069 Properties of Chiral Wilson Loops

We study a class of Wilson Loops in N = 4, D = 4 Yang-Mills theory belonging to the chiral ring of a N = 2, d = 1 subalgebra. We show that the expectation value of these loops is independent of their shape. Using properties of the chiral ring, we also show that the expectation value is identically 1. We find the same result for chiral loops in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in three...
