  • For Submission
    Between Host-Countries and Homeland: Institutions, Politics and Identities in the Post-Genocide Armenian Diaspora (1920s to 1980s) by Vahe Sahakyan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Kevork B. Bardakjian, Chair Associate Professor Carol B. Bardenstein Emeritus Professor Gerard J. Libaridian Associate Professor Ara Sanjian, University of Michigan - Dearborn Professor Ronald G. Suny Professor Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University ©Vahe Sahakyan 2015 To my parents ii Acknowledgments The completion of this project owes much to a large number of scholars, academics and intellectuals, friends and family members. My academic journey in diaspora studies began due to my training as a sociologist at Yerevan State University, Armenia. My sociological curiosity was quick to capture the significant differences in how Armenianness was experienced and expressed in the diaspora, when I first encountered third-fourth generation Armenian-Americans upon my arrival at the University of Michigan as a Junior Faculty Development Program visiting scholar in Fall 2004. This generous grant I was awarded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs provided me a possibility to spend a year at one of the leading American universities, where my interest in Armenian diasporic identities and institutions took shape. Frequent and often endless conversations with Kevork Bardakjian and Gerard Libaridian provided additional impetus to my curiosity. It was due to their continued encouragement and support that two years after returning to Armenia I finally decided to apply and was admitted to the Ph.D.

The city prospered over the years, with its wealth and power peaking during the 17th century's Golden Age. The Netherlands was occupied by Germany during the Second World War. Following its liberation in 1945, the country chose to abandon its traditional policy of neutrality, subsequently becoming a member of Western European Union (WEU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Treaty establishing the Benelux Economic Union between the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg was signed in 1958 and came into force in 1960. The Netherlands was a founder member of the European Community (EC—now European Union—EU). Culture Amsterdam offers a diverse array of world-class entertainment, as for centuries has been one of the leading centers of culture in Europe. High-quality culture spread across 65 theatres and concert halls, 42 museums and over 141 galleries. The availability of culture in Amsterdam is thanks to affordable prices, and the fact that Beethoven's Ninth can be enjoyed just as much in jeans as in more formal attire.

  • Columbia FDI Profiles
    Columbia FDI Profiles Country profiles of inward and outward foreign direct investment issued by the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment January 31, 2011 Editor-in-Chief: Karl P. Sauvant Editor: Thomas Jost Associate Editor: Ken Davies Managing Editor: Ana-Maria Poveda-Garces Inward FDI in Israel and its policy context by Yair Aharoni ∗∗∗ In the first four decades of its existence, Israel was not successful in attracting inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) despite attempts to do so. In the past two decades, Israel have become a haven for multinational enterprises (MNEs) that have taken advantage of its unique assets – among them a skilled, educated workforce and cutting-edge research-and-development (R&D) capabilities – by establishing production lines or R&D centers and acquiring dozens of successful start ups . Israel’s IFDI stock sharply increased from US$ 4.5 billion in 1990 to US$ 71.3 billion in 2009. It is expected that IFDI will further accelerate following Israel's accession to the OECD in May 2010 and as more firms from emerging market economies, including China and India, will come to appreciate its characteristics as an ideal locational choice. Israel also weathered the global economic crisis well, even though IFDI declined sharply. Israel actively encourages IFDI, mainly in high technology areas. In 2010, the Government also created special incentives to attract research centers of financial institutions. Trends and developments Country level developments Israel is a tiny parliamentary republic. Government intervention was very high until the mid-1980s, mainly in the form of an absolute control of the capital market and a high level of import protection.
