In sectors dominated by transnational corporations, however, such a strategy may run afoul of difficulties not immediately apparent from the neo-classical comparative-advantage perspective that has provided its principal theoretical support. Evidence from the Mexican automobile industry shows that an export promotion policy may face problems of a) demand rigidities in TNC intracompany transfers, b) decision dependency, c) difficulties in enforcing sanctions in cases of recalcitrance, and d) an unequal distribution of benefits between foreign-owned and domestically-owned firms.

For the human environment, the Project is expected to have overall positive effects on the socioeconomic environment, maximizing economic, employment, and educational benefits, while minimizing the negative impacts on well-being, physical infrastructure and non-traditional land use. Impacts to cultural aspects are predicted to be not significant. The Project is expected to have no significant negative effects on the biophysical environment (i.e., air quality, water quality and quantity, fish and fish habitat, vegetation, caribou, and wildlife and wildlife habitat).

Modern learned societies are national networks of scholars and educators with professional interests in a single field or discipline. This document discusses functions of learned societies including: identity (formal recognition for one's field of study as well as individual professional identity for members); information sharing and communication among members; scholarly publications; and professional services (directories of members, job listings, and guides to graduate study). Other topics include: the context of disconnection among scholars in higher education; the changing roles of learned societies in a digital age; and roles for the American Council of Learned Societies. Critical issues identified for assuring optimal usage of connections made more easily with digital technology are: quality and integrity; common formats and standards; preservation; intellectual property; and academic freedom. Learned societies are well-positioned to use new technology to contribute to significant changes underway in the world of scholarship and higher education involving internationalization, interdisciplinarity, and interactive learning.

And yet, paradoxically, the capitalists that have so benefited rarely view the activities of the Mexican state with more than suspicion, and often portray it as their principal enemy--or perhaps not so surprisingly. Hardly limiting itself to mere infrastructure investments or the provision of investment incentives, the Mexican state has itself emerged as the major banker and entrepreneur in the economy. Its own enterprises have preempted private-sector savings to finance public investment; they have closed off opportunities for private inv...
