"The Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico is one of the windiest places on earth making it a hotspot for investment in wind energy. But that’s proving problematic. Because although wind-energy investments appear to be paving the way toward a sustainable future a new study reports that a lack of good governance is proving unsustainable for the large indigenous population that calls the Isthmus home. Mexico is among the many nations that have implemented policies supporting the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. a blueprint for achieving a sustainable future for our planet. But in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, these efforts do not adequately include local indigenous communities. It’s a problem caused by a combination of corruption, poor accountability, and limited access to information about energy and the environment. Fortunately, paths for reversing these poor governance patterns do appear to exist..."

Carpenter and Dunung's International Business: The Opportunities and Challenges of a Flat World provides exploration into building, leading, and thriving in global organizations in an increasingly flat world. The authors define ”Flat world“ as one where service industries that dwarf manufacturing industries in terms of scale and scope, an Internet that pervades life and work, and networks define modern businesses, whether service or manufacturing. Carpenter and Dunung's text is designed to speak to technologically-savvy students who see national borders as bridges and not barriers.

The authors use the lexicon of international business, and additionally, develop students' knowledge of international contexts with the aim that they may launch, run, and work in any organization that is global in scope (or is wrestling with global competition or other global threats).

"Apprenticeships are a common tool for skill development and social interaction But automation, globalisation, the growing importance of the service sector, human migration, and new forms of employment like the gig economy are changing how the world does business It's not clear whether current apprenticeship systems can survive these developments New research in the International Journal of Training and Development looks at how the institution of apprenticeship has adapted to the rapidly changing economy, labour market, and education system Using this information, the work examines how the evolving world of business could disrupt apprenticeship systems or make them less relevant in the 21st century Although more empirical research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn the work offers a preliminary framework detailing the readiness of the current apprenticeship system for ‘future work’ conditions… and questions whether the necessary adaptations of apprenticeship systems might affect.."

"Investments in renewable energy are a powerful way to fight climate change Except when they come at the cost of human lives That’s the reality currently faced by the indigenous people of Oaxaca, Mexico In arguably the richest land for harvesting wind energy in all of Latin America government and investors foresee a promising solution to climate change and a source of new jobs But their approach is proving problematic to the way of life of the native Zapotecas and Ikoots who have had to sacrifice their land, their livelihood, and even their lives to backers of wind energy projects It’s what researcher Jacobo Ramirez calls a worrying case of social turbulence where Mexico’s unpredictable political and social systems has created a situation in which laws and regulations protecting environmental justice are not observed Until government and business can learn to include collective indigenous interests in their plans environmental injustice will continue to prevail.."

"Economic globalization and inequality are spreading fast sparking interest in global value chains among both academics and policy makers For decades, the Heckscher-Ohlin model was the only method for understanding these phenomena Conflicting empirical evidence has led to a surge of theoretical models describing international trade scenarios This disjointed knowledge has made navigating the economic literature a difficult task Now, a new visual tool could help even non-specialists piece all of the evidence together in one place Using simple supply and demand diagrams, this tool offers unprecedented explanatory power Making it quick and easy for professionals and students alike to spot where popular models overlap or vary While it currently covers only neoclassical trade models... This figure is a powerful tool that could be used by virtually anyone to understand the effects of global value chains on inequality Franssen, L. (2019)..."
