Understanding of international competitiveness has primarily been pursued in terms of economic variables and market conditions. The roles of the government, the socio-cultural-political context in international business, and their effects on competitiveness have largely been ignored. This study involves an investigation into the circumstances of international competitiveness and how it is pursued by firms from different sugar producing and marketing nations. It employs a qualitative method of comparative analysis between Australia, Brazil, and the European Union. This paper highlights the variations of the theme of international competitiveness reflected through different strategies chosen by the three dominant sugar economies
In Cuba, meanwhile, the police state remains intact. In a report released this week, Human Rights Watch, a non-governmental organization, says that [Raul Castro]'s government has made greater use of a provision of the criminal code that allows indefinite detention for "dangerousness," defined as conduct "in manifest contradiction to the norms of socialist morality. While Cuba justifies all this as self-defence against repeated U.S. attempts to overthrow the Castro regime, in fact it is aimed at enforcing political conformity, argues Human Rights Watch. It wants the United States, before lifting the embargo, to secure a commitment from Europe and Latin America to press for the release of political prisoners. The European Union has normal economic ties with Cuba, but is critical of its t...
Washington's sudden willingness to talk with some parts of the Palestinian government came one day after Norway, which has never joined the European Union, explicitly stated that it would formally re-establish political and economic links with the Palestinian Authority. That marked the first chink in the crushing western aid boycott that was imposed after Hamas won power, because the Islamic Resistance Movement refused to recognize Israel, renounce violence or honour previous agreements with the Palestinians. The White House decision to end its near total diplomatic isolation of the Palestinian government comes as European resistance to having contact with the Hamas-led government is weakening. This has put Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in an awkward position. The Israeli cabinet v...

Early Arab reactions to Sarkozy's election expressed concern about the president-elect's alleged bias towards Israel. Sarkozy never made a secret of his friendship with the Jewish state. Israel was the first regional country that he visited during the election campaign. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was so concerned about a possible French departure from [Jacques Chirac]'s pro-Arab policy that when he travelled to Paris last month to bid farewell to Chirac, he met with Sarkozy and raised with him his "Israeli bias. He said that he supports a "strong Israel" and will never abandon the Jewish state, but he also supports the creation of a "viable" Palestinian state. In the opinion of former Israeli ambassador to Paris, Dr. Yehuda Lancry, Sarkozy's pro-Israel attitude was shaped by his ...
