Immigrant Self-Employment and Transnational Practices: the Case of Moroccan Entrepreneurs in Amsterdam and Milan
This dissertation investigates the relationship between transnational practices and immigrant entrepreneurship, focusing more closely on immigrant entrepreneurs who own a business spanning across borders (i.e. transnational immigrant entrepreneurship), and comparing them with the general category of immigrant entrepreneurs - those focusing on the domestic market in their chosen country of immigration - (i.e. domestic immigrant entrepreneurs). In order to do that, the thesis illustrates the case of Moroccan entrepreneurs in Amsterdam and Milan (N=70). More in particular, the study explores how those immigrant entrepreneurs who own a cross-border business identify and seize business opportunities. The goal is to understand how this group diverges from the general category of immigrant entrepreneurs, and what are the different patterns of transnational immigrant entrepreneurship.
Congressional Use of Funding Cutoffs Since 1970 Involving U.S. Military Forces and Overseas Deployments
This report provides background information on major instances, since 1970, when Congress has utilized funding cutoffs to compel the withdrawal of United States military forces from overseas military deployments. It also highlights key efforts by Congress to utilize the War Powers Resolution, since its enactment in 1973, to compel the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from foreign deployments. In this review, legislation expressing the “sense of the Congress” regarding U.S. military deployments is not addressed.
