Introduction Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, the game of baseball has experienced a cultural makeover. Not only have black players come to exert a heavy influence on the game, but now some teams have more players with Latino names than European names. More recently, players are arriving from East Asia , especially Japan , and they are making their mark felt. In particular is Ichiro Suzuki, last year’s American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. With such a large influx of players from different nationalities, the face of baseball has clearly changed on the field. But how has it changed off the field?

International Economics The Latin world is a challenging region in which to do business, but it offers many rewards. In this chapter from the book "Winning Strategies for the New Latin Markets," the authors provide recommendations on how firms may continue to operate in the powerful yet volatile Latin markets. Other articles by Jerry Haar Other articles by Fernando Robles Other articles by Francoise Simon Advertise With Us The last decade of the twentieth century was a time of profound economic transformation in Latin America. We began this book with an identification of key drivers of such transformation: global financial systems, regulatory reforms, regional integration, market transformation, and technology (see Figure 1.1). With different levels of intensity and at different times, these drivers have had a profound impact on all Latin American countries, without exception. The impact has transformed industry and business strategy. In Chapters 3 to 7, we analyzed the impact of these drivers on the infrastructure, consumer markets, banking, and health sectors. In this chapter we revisit our initial framework, assess the strategy of adapters and shapers introduced in Chapter 1, and provide recommendations on how firms may continue to operate in Latin markets.

l subscribe l events l main site home page Introduction to Naz Latina It is estimated that there are over 200,000 Latin Americans living in London. However while there are many cultural groups, there are still no specific community based organisations in London that cater for their social, legal and human rights. Contrary to general perception, Latin Americans continue to arrive in the UK all the time, in large numbers and from all walks of life. The spread of the AIDS epidemic in Latin America is reflected in these communities in London. Women and men can be working in the sex industry without any friends or family at home being aware of it. This group is, by definition, hard to reach with safe sex advice and treatment options. So it is all the more important to reach out to them with material that is linguistically and culturally appropriate. Naz Latina seeks to increase awareness of Latin American cultures amongst health care professionals. They provide training for STI clinic staff at hospitals throughout London. Naz Latina began in 1997 and was officially launched at the London Lighthouse in May 1999 to meet an urgent need. The project plays a vital role in meeting the sexual health needs of Latin Americans in London, serving the Spanish speaking community.

Dr. Moses Seenarine BLPR 101-052 Spring 2000 INTRODUCTION
The Latin American and Caribbean regions were the first areas of the Americas to be populated
by African immigrants. African immigration to the Americas may have begun before European
exploration of the region. Blacks sailed with Christopher Columbus even on his first voyage in 1492, and the earliest Spanish and Portuguese explorers were likewise accompanied by black Africans who had been born and reared in Iberia. In the following four centuries millions of immigrants from Africa were brought to the New World as slaves. Today, their descendants form significant ethnic minorities in several Latin American countries, and they are the dominant element in many of the Caribbean nations. Over the centuries, black people have added their original contributions to the cultural mix of their respective societies and thus exerted a profound influence on all facets of life in Latin America.

On Guilt, Ethics, and Metropolitan Views of Latin America
Mark I. Millington, University of Nottingham, UK
Introduction
As a final introductory point I should add that, although I am addressing the Latin American context, I hope that my paper will be sufficiently broad in its argument to allow for productive, comparative thinking in relation to other postcolonial spaces.
Context for Latin American postcolonial studies in the metropolis
David Harvey has described the conditions of postmodern metropolitan societies and cultures which have given rise to postcolonial studies. He talks of the re-emergence in postmodernity of "a concern in ethics, politics and anthropology for the validity and dignity of "the other"", a phenomenon which has produced a profound shift in the contemporary 'structure of feeling" (Harvey p.9). That shift is partly driven by the influx of peoples to the metropolitan nations which has created internal alterities and new multiracial and multicultural realities. In short order, new kinds of researcher have appeared, whose voices demand to be heard. Those new voices in the metropolitan academy have shifted the focus and discourses of research, and hitherto ignored fractures and neo-colonial exploitations have become impossible to ignore new types of knowledge have emerged, challenging metropolitan-centred views and advocating differentiated perspectives.

Cross Cultural Negotiations Lecture 7: "Can you Talk the Talk?" Verbal Aspects of Negotiations . In Spanish, juego limpio The tendency of many a U.S. business negotiator to get straight to the point has been responsible for many a failed cross-cultural negotiation: in most places in the world, the one who asks questions controls the process of negotiation and thereby accomplishes more in bargaining situations. Americans are, as a rule, good at arguing but terrible at listening. Dean Rusk said "One of the best ways to persuade others is with your earsby listening." An old Farmer’s adage is "God gave you two ears but only one mouth so you can listen twice as much as you talk." An Arabic proverb says, "If I listen, I have the advantage; if I speak, others have it. " It is never appropriate to speak unless you can improve the silence. Balance Listening and Talking haragei , to talk around a subject in order to get a holistic view. Only after this is accomplished will they go into details. The Japanese prefer avoiding any area in which an agreement cannot be easily reached. Instead they tend to move to another topic in its place. To Americans, this often appears like the Japanese are trying to elude the issue. To an American, an unsolved issue is a point of contention. This, not any general principle, must be first dealt with before the agreement as a whole can be considered. Many cultures are holistic, especially in the Far East; all issues are discussed at once and no decisions made until the end.
