TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that national culture is important in interpreting the differences of entrepreneurial activities between countries, and that national wealth plays a moderating role between national culture and entrepreneurial activities.
Abstract: In this paper, we argue that national culture is important in interpreting the differences of entrepreneurial activities between countries. Furthermore, national wealth plays a moderating role between national culture and entrepreneurial activities. Datasets from the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) project and Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) study were analyzed. We find that there are interaction effects between GDP, a proxy for national wealth, and several cultural dimensions on entrepreneurial activities. More traditional cultural variables (in-group collectivism, humane orientation, and power distance) enhance early-stage and established entrepreneurship in low- and medium-GDP countries, but hinder early-stage and established entrepreneurship in high-GDP countries. More modernistic cultural variables (performance orientation, future orientation, and uncertainty avoidance) promote high-growth and high-innovation entrepreneurship in some situations, especially in high-GDP countries. Implications and limitations are discussed.

TL;DR: The Managing Global Insecurity project (MGI) as mentioned in this paper is a reform effort of the global security system, which aims to build a new foundation for international security: responsible sovereignty, or the notion that sovereignty entails obligations and duties toward other states as well as one's own citizens.
Abstract: The aim of the Managing Global Insecurity project is to launch a reform effort of the global security system in 2009. That task is both ambitious and urgent...The time to act is now. --from the Foreword by Javier Solana The twenty-first century will be defined by security threats unconstrained by borders --from economic instability, climate change, and nuclear proliferation to conflict, poverty, terrorism, and disease. The greatest test of global leadership will be building partnerships and institutions for cooperation that can meet the challenge. Power and Responsibility describes how American leadership can rebuild international order to promote global security and prosperity for today's transnational world. Power & Responsibility establishes a new foundation for international security: "responsible sovereignty," or the notion that sovereignty entails obligations and duties toward other states as well as one's own citizens. Governments must cooperate across borders to safeguard common resources and tackle common threats. Power & Responsibility argues that in order to advance its own interests, the United States must learn to govern in an interdependent world, exercise leadership through cooperation, and create new institutions with today's traditional and emerging powers. The result of a collaborative project on Managing Global Insecurity, the book also reflects the MGI project's global dialogue --extensive consultations in the United States and in regions around the world as well as discussions with the MGI project's Advisory Group, composed of prominent U.S. and international figures. "The 2008 financial crisis has brought our global interconnectedness close to home. But economic insecurity is just one concern. Power and Responsibility provides a road map for building effective policies and legitimate global institutions to tackle today's suite of transnational challenges." --Kemal Dervi , administrator, UN Development Program

TL;DR: The emerging field of sport for development has proliferated since the early 2000s under the auspices of global leadership emanating from the UN, FIFA, the IOC and governments facilitating national sport-for-all and sport (for) development programmes as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, Cora Burnett, one of the world’s leading scholars on studying the ways that sport has been used for development, considers the trajectory, challenges and future for understanding sport’s role in conflict resolution and peace. The emerging field of sport-for-development has proliferated since the early 2000s under the auspices of global leadership emanating from the UN, FIFA, the IOC and governments facilitating national sport-for-all and sport (for) development programmes. In the wake of major events such as the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup competitions, international development agencies collaborated with non-government organizations to address a wide range of social ills at grassroots levels across the world. Particular challenges for this line of research reside in tensions between donors who seek proof of how often limited focused programmes may have successfully addressed societal problems, and critical scholarship which may see such programmatic effo...

Abstract: Catalyst's longitudinal project, 'The Promise of Future Leadership: A Research Program on Highly Talented Employees in the Pipeline', develops timely reports on the retention and advancement of high potential women and men.
