NOTES THE EXPANSION OF LONG-ARM JURISDICTION IN TEXAS: HALL V. HELICOPTEROS NA CIONALES DE COLOMBIA, S.A. IN 1974 Petro Peru, the state-owned Peruvian oil company, contracted with Williams-Sedco-Horn, a joint venture,' to build a pipeline from its drilling site in the Amazon jungles of Peru to the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, Williams-Sedco-Horn contracted with Helicopteros Na- cionales de Colombia, S.A. (Helicol) 2 to transport workers and supplies by helicopter to the jungle interior. Four workers, hired in Houston by Wil- liams-Sedco-Horn, were killed when a Helicol helicopter crashed in Peru while transporting the workers. Neither the workers nor their survivors were residents of Texas, but each was a United States citizen. The survi- vors brought separate actions in Harris County, Texas, and service of pro- cess was had on Helicol under article 2031b, the Texas long-arm jurisdiction statute.3 Helicol entered a special appearance in each case to 1.

    INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM: ATTRIBUTES OF TERRORIST EVENTS ITERATE 1968-2020 DATA CODEBOOK Compiled by Edward F. Mickolus Todd Sandler Jean M. Murdock Peter A. Flemming Last Update June 2020 The ITERATE project is an attempt to quantify data on the characteristics of transnational terrorist groups, their activities which have international impact, and the environment in which they operate. ITERATE 3 and 4 update the coverage of terrorist incidents first reported in ITERATE 1 and 2, which can be obtained from the Inter- University Consortium for Political and Social Research, Box 1248, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106. ITERATE 3 and 4 are compatible with the coding categories used in its predecessors, but includes new variables. The working definition of international/transnational terrorism used by the ITERATE project is the use, or threat of use, of anxiety-inducing, extra-normal violence for political purposes by any individual or group, whether acting for or in opposition to established governmental authority, when such action is intended to influence the attitudes and behavior of a target group wider than the immediate victims and when, through the nationality or foreign ties of its perpetrators, its location, the nature of its institutional or human victims, or the mechanics of its resolution, its ramifications transcend national boundaries. International terrorism is such action when carried out by individuals or groups controlled by a sovereign state, whereas transnational terrorism is carried out by basically autonomous non-state actors, whether or not they enjoy some degree of support from sympathetic states. "Victims" are those individuals who are directly harmed by the terrorist incident.

  • Internationalization Strategies of a Multilatina in the Service Sector: Avianca-Taca Holdings S.A
    Internationalization strategies of a Multilatina in the service sector: Avianca-Taca holdings S.A. case study Estrategias de Internacionalización de una Multilatina en el sector servicios. Caso: Avianca-Taca Holding S.A. CAROLINA FRANCO-ARROYAVE1 ALEXIS MARTINS-CHEZE2 EYAL SIEGEL3 JUAN CARLOS DÍAZ VÁSQUEZ4 Recibido: 01/09/2014 Modificado: 14/10/2014 Aceptado: 04/11/2014 Abstract This paper explores how existing internationalization theories can be applied to a Multilatina in the service sector, using the case of Avianca-Taca Holdings S.A. as an example. This paper introduces the company by analyzing the context in which it grew, starting with the service sector in Colombia, which is its country of origin. This paper also analyzes the international and domestic air transportation industry alongside the history of Avianca- Taca Holdings S.A. It describes in detail the internationalization program undertaken by the company and analyzes it based on three existing theories that may explain why such choices were made instead of others available. This paper explores different applications of these traditional theories. By this token, it concludes that, rather than using a brand new theory and aspiring to cover a large array of services, it is wiser to make decisions with a more comprehensive scope and use existing theories to adapt an efficient internationalization strategy to a particular context, region or country. 1 MIB (c), Universidad EAFIT, Medellín, Colombia, Mail: [email protected] 2 Master student, Strasbourg, Francia.
