The Navajo Nation: The Consequences of Living Between two Forms of Incomplete Governance

The Navajo Nation ranks amongst the poorest Reservations. Fundamentally, the Navajo Nation, faces many hurdles stemming from the conundrum of semi-autonomy; and consequently, Federally imposed rules and regulations. Unavoidably, these account for many of the issues that Navajo members and the Navajo government face today. Despite this circumstance, there are things the Navajo government can do in order to improve the socio- economic situation on the Navajo Nation today. This paper utilizes Hirschman's Exit, Voice, Loyalty theory in order to understand the relationship between the government and the people. The data and survey results indicated a significant trend of working class, Navajo members, choosing to leave the Reservation (exit). From the data and surveys it appears that those who are leaving, are doing so primarily in search of employment. In order for the socio-economic situation on the Navajo Nation to improve, the government must first set up a system in which it receives member feedback, then it must find a way to increase sentiments of loyalty as to motivate people to stay, and, third, based on the data, the government needs to improve the job market rapidly.

Share-Issue Privatization in China: 2002-2008

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effectiveness of China’s incremental approach to denationalization, share-issue privatization, wherein the government sells shares of state-owned enterprises to the public, while retaining an ownership position in the firm. The effectiveness of this approach to denationalization will be evaluated based on four widely-used measures of firm well-being and productivity--returns on assets, returns on sales, sales per employee, and profits per employee, based on data retrieved from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) Database and the Private Listed Companies Database
