本研究通过高层梯队理论和人力资本理论探究中国民营企业首席执行官的政治关系为企业所带来的影响。首席执行官的个人特征对企业的战略决策产生直接或间接的影响,同时可作为企业特有的优势,为企业的可持续发展发挥着人力资本的作用。对此,本研究通过实证探究中国民营企业的首席执行官所拥有的政治关系是否对企业的人力资本企业绩效产生积极影响。另外,本研究将政治关系的直接对象-- 中国地方政府分为不同阶层,考察政治关系的人力资本价值和影响力的差异,而且预测政府补贴可以在这一关系中起到中介的作用。为了验证这一论点,以2008年至2016年间在中国上海和深圳证券交易所上市的1,451个企业的共9,849个观测值为对象进行分析,结果确认首席执行官的政治关系对企业绩效产生正向(+)的影响。另外,从各阶层的地方政府来看,只有与作为最高层地方政府的省级地方政府有政治关系时,才能对企业绩效产生积极影响；同时,只有在首席执行官拥有的人力资本的价值和影响力与省级地方政府有关联时才能发挥上述的积极影响。另外,政府补贴的中介效应在与地级地方政府有政治关系时,会具备完全中介的属性,进而对企业经营成果产生积极影响。可以说,地方政府在政府补贴支付中起到核心作用,因此经营者的政治关系常被运用为企业的非市场战略。

본 연구는 중국 상장기업의 정치적 연계(political connections)가 기업의 사회적 책임(Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR) 활동에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 있다. 기업은 정치적 연계를 '비시장 전략(non-market strategy)'으로 인지하여, 이를 통해 획득한 다양한 혜택을 경영 활동에 적극적으로 활용하고자 한다. 반면에 이러한 정치적 연계를 활용하고자 하는 기업은 그 혜택에 대한 대가로 정부의 사회 정책적인 의무를 수행해야 할 필요성이 제기된다. 특히, 중국 정부는 기업이 CSR 활동을 통하여 산재되어 있는 사회문제를 적극적으로 해소해주기를 원하고 있다. 이에 따라 정치적 연계를 통하여 정부로부터 경영상의 혜택을 획득하고자 하는 기업은 적극적인 CSR 활동을 통하여 정부의 요구를 수용하고 있다는 신호를 보낼 필요성이 제기된다. 이러한 환경에서 본 연구는 기업의 정치적 연계가 정부가 요구하는 CSR 활동을 수행하는 요인으로 작용하는지를 2013년부터 2019년까지 중국 전체 상장기업을 대상으로 실증적인 검증을 한다. 분석 결과, 중앙정부와 정치적 연계를 지닌 기업을 중심으로 CSR 활동에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것을 보여준다. 또한, 이러한 관계에서 정부 보조금이 매개효과로 작용하면서, 중앙정부와 정치적 연계가 있는 기업은 정부로부터 혜택을 얻는 것과 동시에 정부의 사회 정책적인 의무를 모두 수행하고 있는 것을 의미한다.

This research seeks to provide evidence about how political connections, proxied by government ownership and the existence of politically connected board members, affect the extent of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures in Indonesian listed companies. This research uses the legitimacy theory as a basis for explaining management's motivation for disclosing its CSR. The sample consists of 131 firm-year observations from 38 non-financial public companies that published sustainability reports from 2013 to 2017. We measured the CSR disclosures using a disclosure checklist on the sustainability reports. We subsequently processed the data using a random effect (RE) linear regression. The result shows that CSR disclosures were greater in government-owned companies but lower in companies that have politically connected board members. The results support the legitimacy theory that the government intends to demonstrate legitimate national economic and political conditions by showing that government-owned companies are sustainable. However, CSR disclosures seem to have a substitutive relationship with the existence of politically connected board members, since those political connections may protect the company from public pressure and/or the risk of litigation, reducing the need for CSR disclosures. This research provides evidence that different types of political connections may have different impacts on corporate disclosures.

This research extends the literature on the effect of board characteristics and ownership structure on audit fees; these factors affect the firm's agency costs and how the auditor assesses various risks, hence the audit efforts and fees. The paper introduces political connections as a determinant of audit fees for the first time in Jordan, where the political connection is prevalent and affects decision making on the Jordanian boards. The sample consists of 109 manufacturing and service firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) over the years 2012-2019. Data is obtained from the ASE and the company's annual reports. Board characteristics are measured by board size, independence, leadership duality, meetings frequency, political connections, and audit committee. Ownership structure was measured by concentration, foreign ownership, and Institutional ownership. The study hypotheses were tested by using Generalized Least Squares regression. The Findings showed that larger boards, politically connected firms, and firms with leadership duality are more likely to pay higher fees. Besides, Firms with greater foreign ownership pay less fees, whereas the rest of the variables are insignificant. Results suggest that political connections play a major role in determining audit fees; this provides a recommendation to policymakers in Jordan to reconsider regulations regarding political connections.

Political connections may facilitate firms' exporting activities, particularly in developing countries, because politically connected firms may be more likely to receive informational and financial support, allowing them to overcome barriers to export. We test this hypothesis using a unique, firm-level dataset from traditional apparel and textile clusters in the Red River Delta Region in Northern Vietnam. We find that political connection of certain types increases the chance of receiving valuable information or financial support from the government. Moreover, those firms that have access to government information have higher chances of being direct exporters. However, firms that receive financial support from the government are not necessarily engaged in exporting activities. Although politically connected firms are more willing to export, they do not necessarily engage in more exporting activities than firms without such connections. These results suggest that the misallocation of information and financial resources to politically connected but insufficiently productive firms leads to a failure to promote exporting activities. In contrast, political connection increases the chance of importing materials and parts, possibly because high productivity is necessary for exporting, but not for importing.

Based on the samples of the Chinese listed companies, this paper studies the influence of political connection on enterprises M&A. We show that the political networks of the listed corporations in China considerably affect their M&A activities. More and greater M&A appear on the companies with political connection. The government mostly influences the political connections on the enterprises M&A. Moreover, we try to find out how much political connection affect the results of the enterprises M&A. Our study can contribute to a new aspect of the political connection in literature, as well as its fiscal consequences in China.

This article is based on a research conducted from 2009 to 2012, on the political disputes in Thailand. During the data collections periods, it was common to hear the frustration, bitterness and anger, expressed by the Redshirts, especially those who lived in the northeast and northern regions. Coming from the said research, this paper will examine the relationship between emotions and rights. According to the sociology of emotions, there are connections between macrolevel social processes and the arousal of emotions. Emotions arising from macrostructural processes may affect individuals at the microlevel, prompting them into actions collectively. In addition, expressions of resentment and articulation for vengeance can be interpreted as the emotions related to the awareness of rights, which may include the rights to one's needs and the access to resources that fulfill such needs. It will demonstrate how emotions, political demonstrations and the increasing awareness of rights, are related.

It has been widely argued that Area Studies is in a critical condition especially in Australia, Europe and the US. However, in the Southeast Asian region, most especially Indonesia, we are witnessing the rise of Area Studies programs with the establishment of several such programs both in research institutions and universities. In this paper, I will discuss a few examples of Area Studies research on the emerging diasporic connections in Southeast Asia and reflect on the constitution of ethnic networks as "sites" where transnational identities are forged beyond state boundaries. Indeed, transnational movements of people have occurred and continue to happen due to particular events like wars and political turmoil, as well as for economic reasons. Today, we find many diasporic groups, including minorities, in the border areas of Southeast Asian countries and historically, minorities have been known for their movements in mainland Southeast Asia. If previously, the diasporic connections, especially with the homeland, had been very limited or even non-existent, today such connections have emerged across national boundaries. On top of this, economic and social networkings are equally on the rise both within and at transnational levels. It is, therefore, important to discuss the identity of diasporic groups and transnational networkings in the cases of two border areas in Southeast Asia.
