Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

There are six variables being loaded on the factor of Conformity, five on the factor named Harmony, three on the factor of Curiosity, and another three on Self-constraint. Each variable could be rated on a 4-point scale. Sums were created for each variable, with higher scores indicating more conformity, curiosity, harmony, and self-discipline. The six conformity items were "clean", "polite to adults", "obey", "filial respect", "good student", and "proper manners" (alp...

Factors associated with adopting and resisting mobile banking technologies were investigated among university students in Taiwan. Adoption factors included the belief that mobile banking helps fulfill personal banking needs, provides location-free conveniences, and is cost effective. The primary factors associated with resistance included concerns over system configuration security and basic fees for mobile banking web connections. The theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed.
