Marketing Strategies for ChinesePublic Legal Services Companies
2011Co-Authors: Yong Han, Zhongyou Zhang, Zhiliu ZengAbstract:This article defines legal services industry as private solicitor and barrister Practices, patent attorney businesses and other organizations such as government solicitors, legal aid authorities and community legal centers, whose primary activity is the provision of legal services. This article scans three key environmental factors that have fundamental impact on the legal services industry. They include advances in information technology and science, the effects of globalization; the changes in the competition and governmental regulation. These factors are changing the ways and means of doing business in legal services industry. This article points out that there are three key changes that are currently transforming the landscapes of global legal services industry; they are increasing competition, informed and demanding clients, and internationalization of Practice.This article finds that in a worldwide sense, public legal service agencies should consider making their marketing strategies in four respects: e-lawyering and distance lawyering, rethinking their relationships with clients, multi-disciplinary Practice, and Transnational Practice. But due to its special position in society, making marketing strategy for legal services will have to overcome three conspicuous problems: lawyer mobility, political and legal limitations, and constraints of ethical conduct. This article concludes that marketing within the legal industry is an irreversible trend. Public legal service agencies have no other choice but to adapt to it.

Training the troops on gender: the making of a Transnational Practice
'Informa UK Limited', 2021Co-Authors: Holvikivi AikoAbstract:Over the past two decades, the international Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has established a commitment to increase the participation of women in matters of peace and security, to ensure the protection of women's rights, and to include gender perspectives in conflict prevention. The WPS agenda foresees a number of measures to make peacekeeping more gender-responsive, including training uniformed peacekeepers on gender. These policy commitments date back to the year 2000, and have instigated the development of training materials and the institutionalization of training at regional and national levels. This article examines these training mandates, asking: What is the scope and nature of gender training for peacekeepers? How is gender understood to operate in peacekeeping? A review of international and national policy commitments demonstrates that training uniformed peacekeepers on gender has become a significant Transnational Practice. An examination of these mandates and training guidance reveals that training discourse establishes a normative understanding of gender that is focused primarily on vulnerability to sexual violence, and that frames gender as a question of skills and capacities rather than political investments or moral values. However, differences in localization demonstrate that gender training could be and sometimes is understood more expansively

Fixing gender: the paradoxical politics of peacekeeper training
2019Co-Authors: Holvikivi AikoAbstract:Over the past two decades, gender training for military and police peacekeepers has become institutionalised in the global governance of peace and security. Such training purports to respond to gendered harms previously ignored in, or actively caused by, peacekeeping operations. This evolving Transnational Practice involves the introduction of gender knowledge – indebted to feminist theorising and activism – into police and military organisations – commonly characterised as institutions of hegemonic masculinity. This thesis takes the tension between feminism and martial institutions as its point of departure to investigate what meaning the term gender acquires in training for uniformed peacekeepers, asking: What epistemic and political work does gender training do in martial institutions? Investigating the pedagogical Practices of gender training through a multi-sited ethnography, I approach this question with the help of feminist, postcolonial, (and) queer epistemic perspectives. I conceptualise gender training as involving the production of knowledges around gender; knowledges which enable ways of being and acting in the world. I suggest that training Practices often produce an understanding of gender that serves martial politics and reproduces colonial logics in the peacekeeping enterprise, thereby emptying the term of the transformative political hopes that feminist theorists typically invest in the concept. At the same time, I identify moments of tension, in which gender training appears to be destabilising hierarchical martial logics and engaging in subversive pedagogy. In sum, I argue that ambivalence is an integral feature of gender training, and locate political potential in the cultivation of resistant pedagogies, which exploit the margins of hegemonic discourses to engage in subversive strategies of destabilisation and delinking. This thesis provides an empirical contribution to an under-studied area of global governance, as well as forwarding feminist theorising on political strategies for engaging with and against institutions of state power

Return Migration and Transnationalism: How Are the Two Connected?
International Migration, 2014Co-Authors: Jørgen Carling, Marta Bivand ErdalAbstract:Return migration and migrant Transnationalism are key phenomena in research on international migration. Here we examine how the two are connected. The article introduces a special section and draws partly upon this selection of papers and partly upon the broader literature. First, we argue that there is often a blurred boundary between mobility as a Transnational Practice, for instance in the form of return visits, and purportedly permanent or long-term return migration. Second, we examine the effects of Transnationalism on return migration intentions and experiences. Third, we explore how migration trajectories, involving various forms of ‘return’ moves, create different forms of Transnationalism. Examples include the ‘reverse Transnational’ Practices of returnees and the ‘residual Transnationalism’ of migrants who have had an unsuccessful return experience and decided to settle permanently abroad. We end by considering how both return migration and Transnationalism exist in the interplay between the personal and the social.

Cartographies of Cape Verdean Transnationalism
Global Networks, 2003Co-Authors: Jørgen CarlingAbstract:In this article I explore the geographical structure of Transnational Practice by means of cartographic representations of statistical data. Using the case of Cape Verde, data on emigrant relatives, remittances, and migration aspirations are combined to produce a visual representation of a Transnational social field. A second figure employs remittance statistics to show how the geography of Transnational connections varies from island to island within the archipelago.
