Wood Rutgers University-Camden, USA Abstract: Caribbean cruise tourism provides a particularly illuminating vantage point for understanding the processes of globalization in the world today. After documenting the rapid expansion of this business, the paper explores three central manifestations of globalization at work in the Caribbean cruise industry: the restructuring of the industry in the face of global competition, capital mobility, and labor migration; new patterns of global ethnic recruitment and strati®cation, including their incorporation into the product marketed to tourists; and deterritorialization, cultural theming, and simulation. The paper asserts that this ``globalization at sea'' illustrates the contradictions, ambiguities, and unchartered course of contemporary globalization processes.

...way, are based on a variety of materials, including lectures attended in a special workshop on Korean culture at Korea University in the summer of 1997. Map of Korea The overall pattern of development in the history of the Korean peninsula is a process that begins with an unknown number of early tribal groups that populate the peninsula in prehistoric times, wandering out of Siberia and areas to the west. Over time, some of these groups form more complex societies that eventually result in early kingdoms that grow up on the peninsula; in some cases extending westwards into what is now Chinese territory. As time and events unfolded, these kingdoms were unified, though the borders and degree of unity have continued to change over time—down to today. Besides the obvious split between North and South Korea, cultural differences (including dialect, food, and local identity) exist between the various regions of the peninsula. In some cases these differences are enough to influence the results of political elections. Nevertheless, Korean culture is highly homogenous in comparison with China, and even Japan. Over the last 2,000 years the Korean peninsula has been wracked...

...Efficiency Analysis of Container Ports and Terminals Qianwen Liu A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London Centre for Transport Studies Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering University College London 2010 1 Declaration I, Qianwen Liu, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Candidate’s signature ………………………………….. Qianwen Liu 2 Abstract In the past two decades the steady growth of seaborne trade has resulted in the increase of container ships, container ports and their terminals. The structure of the shipping market is, moreover, continuously evolving. On the carrier side, shipping companies form consortia and alliances; on the port side, global terminal operators and dedicated container terminals are emerging. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of container ports and terminals and to study how to improve the scale efficiency of any particular port/terminal. In particular we study how certain factors influence the efficiency of container ports and terminals. Regional container ports and global container terminals are examined based on the econometrics benchmarking method Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Two datasets are used, a panel dataset for 32 container ports in the North Mediterranean Sea over a nine-year period, and a cross-sectional...

IN THE EVENT OF A LOSS, ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THE ACTUAL POLICIES WILL APPLY. | Our Story | ARTHUR J. GLATFELTER FOUNDER In 1968, while working with a prospective client, a local volunteer fire department, Art discovered a significantly underserved market. Since emergency service organizations were largely overlooked by the insurance industry at that time, Art interviewed every fire chief he could in order to gain a solid understanding of their needs. His findings became the foundation of VFIS, a division of GIG and the world’s leading provider of insurance, education, training and consulting products and services for emergency service organizations. The principles upon which Art built his insurance agency remain the foundation of Glatfelter Insurance Group today, and the manner in which he approached the development of VFIS reflects the standard for every Glatfelter-client relationship: We listen to our clients to gain a clear understanding of their unique needs and exposures.
