The Bureaucracy of Beauty is a wide-ranging work of cultural theory that connects literary studies, postcoloniality, the history of architecture and design, and the history and present of empire.

This thesis fills in the gap by examining how work experience affects managerial performance and managerial style in mutual funds. Using a sample of Chinese fund managers, we find performances and styles vary across managers of different career backgrounds. Notably, managers of research and especially government backgrounds show higher risk adjusted returns while taking on less systematic risk.

Non-state actors play a major role in foreign policy making of nation-states and significantly influence their foreign policy behavior. They lobby in domestic as well as international settings and mobilize their home or host states and national and global public opinion. Non-state actors are active in more than one state; therefore, they can exploit states against each other. By hiring former bureaucrats and political leaders, non-state actors use personal connections of their employees.

This paper examines how the secretary of the prefecture-level municipal party committee affects land supply in Chinese cities. We found that the traditional urban economics framework also applies to China. Specifically, population and gross domestic product (GDP) are highly correlated with land supply. On this basis, we found that the secretary of the municipal party committee, who has worked at the provincial government level, significantly affects the land supply at the municipal level.

This paper takes Chinese private listed companies as a sample to study the impact of political connections on financial constraints and long-term growth. The study found that political connections can help companies ease financial constraints and help companies to enlarge scale. However, the easing of financial constraints has not helped companies to improve their innovation capabilities and operating efficiency. On the contrary, political connections have caused a decline in companies’ potential long-term growth.

The poets associated with the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E School have remarkably borrowed from the Pound-Olson tradition of political poetry and poetics. But, they have also experimented with newer methods and matters that deviate from the tradition. Such continuation and departure from the tradition of the socio-cultural oriented language poets has been investigated here. Their poetic tenets have been examined through the ideas formulated by the outstanding cultural critics; Adorno, Jameson, Bakhtin, Foucault, Lukács, and Benjamin.

If one posits a powerful connection among learning, doing and understanding, then the argument for teaching media literacy is a compelling one. And equally, there is a compelling case to be made that the teaching of media literacy should be global – the content of the course should be global, because the effects of media messages certainly are. There is no global issue or political arena in which the statement of problems and the framing of possible solutions are not influenced by media coverage.
