IT came and went, then promptly vanished from the radar screen. One more historical footnote in Winnipeg's periodic efforts to "find itself" and reverse its relentless slide down the rankings of Canadian cities, Sam Katz's city summit showcased a few good ideas. But the causes of our relative decline lie beyond the scope of city government.
The summit created an expensive cameo for Katz, but ignored the reality that the mayor has limited power. Merely the lead cheerleader, he can do little to restructure government. The hammer for reform lies in the legislature, the only vehicle for a comprehensive rewrite of the City of Winnipeg Act. Katz chose a cozy, "by invitation only" format -- a mistake in an extraordinarily tribal community with hierarchies of "ins" and "outs," where political c...

We investigate whether improvement in Brazilian corporate governance practices is related to better performance of companies measured in its diverse dimensions. Dummy variables were used to identify firms with level 2 or 3 ADR programs and to represent participation in level 2 or the "new market" level of differentiated practices of corporate governance established by the São Paulo Stock Exchange. Significant statistical relationships were obtained for both dummy variables in relation to the performance measures, suggesting that the adhesion to programs which require improved corporate governance practices is associated with corporate performance.

It is common for parents/families in traditional settings, whether in Africa or China, to pair their children/members in marriage often without their consent. This specific mate selection practice, arrangement, is used to designate marriages in these settings: the so-called arranged marriages. Observations about this mate selection practice are then posited as conclusive evidence of change in these marriages. This paper attempts an exploratory clarification of marriages in traditional Africa in two ways. First, it uses the marriage system of the Okrikans to reveal that arranged and non-arranged marriages coexist, each administered by and organized around distinct institutions, with differing consequences for family membership, inheritance and other important issues. Second, it breaks do...
