Governing Globalization? The State,Law, and Structural Change in Corporate Governance

Current analysis of the 'globalization' of the activity of capitalist corporations tends to argue that the legal institutional frameworks of the nation state are of little importance in determining the governance of those corporations, and that the regulation of those corporations therefore is impossible. This view simply ignores the role that those frameworks do in fact play. In this paper, various styles of corporate governance are analysed in terms of the influence of the company law, financial market regulation, and employment law promulgated by nations or nation state groupings. Rather than the globalization of corporate governance reflecting the unimportance of the nation state, it reflects a change in the style of regulation.     

Aging studies on fingerprint residues using thin-layer and high performance liquid chromatography

The chemical substances of perspiration found in latent fingerprint residue may hold the key for dating latent fingerprints. To study the chemical transformations of these components as a function of time and environment, fingerprint residues from four males and four females were analysed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Three major and two or three minor components were detected by both methods and the variation in the quantity of the major components with time was observed.     

More tax evasion research required in new millennium

Scholarly communication across disciplines is much harder than within disciplines. This article highlights the pervasive phenomenon of tax evasion and discusses the different theoretical models and research approaches that have been used to study the problem in the last two decades. Much of this research has been conducted in the U.S. Policy approaches suggested by this research may therefore have limited applicability in other countries. With theoretical models from a variety of disciplines available to use, and many unanswered questions remaining, international comparisons and multi-method approaches should be useful to the many policymakers and academic researchers interested in understanding the puzzle of tax compliance.
