This is a book about hope and international finance. The repudiation of Russia’s debt by the Bolsheviks in 1918 affected French investors for several generations. The reason for this was the sheer volume of money lent by institutional investors and private citizens alike. This book focuses on the reasons which prompted French investors to hope they would eventually be repaid. In this financial context, hope was reflected in the fluctuations of Russian bond prices. Indeed, in view of the extreme nature of the repudiation, the prices of Russian sovereign debt experienced only a modest decline. As a matter of fact, they actually increased after the repudiation, and their yields were well below those observed nowadays when sovereign debts are repudiated. Far from being a sign of irrational behaviour, this trend can be attributed to expectations that one or more extreme events could occur. Governments have four key incentives to repay their debts: fear of a loss of reputation and consequent exclusion from capital markets; fear of armed intervention; trade sanctions; and seizure of collateral. In the Russian case, investors remained hopeful for the aforementioned reasons but they also hoped that a third-party government would stand in for the Russian government and fulfil its obligations. This book assesses the relative weight of each of these reasons to hope and shows why investors refused to view their repudiated bonds as valueless.Less

This collection takes a critical look at athletic celebrity on the part of athletes who enjoy worldwide reputations without necessarily breaking into the more narrowly defined North American sporting terrain. This volume, which chronicles the reputational arcs of athletes in such diverse sports as surfing, motocross, Grand Prix Racing, distance running, and even sumo wrestling, as well as more widespread competitions including tennis, cricket, and world football, to name but a few, are presented as a means to underscore the notion that sport, regardless of type and place, helps foster individual reputations that creates celebrities unique to those games.Less

Why do some companies have better corporate reputations than others? And why do some companies that are not seen as particularly socially responsible have a good reputation? This book explains why both these phenomenon occur. In essence, the companies that win the reputation game are those that are seen by their key stakeholders as being ‘best at something’ and/or ‘best for somebody’. Being best at something means that they offer better quality and value than their competitors. Being best for somebody means that they serve the needs of their stakeholders better than competitors. The book also examines why the advice of scholars is often not implemented by companies.Less

This chapter describes why corporate reputation management is a strategic game. The metaphor highlights that any investment in creating a better corporate reputation than one’s rivals is subject to setting goals, understanding the rules of the reputation marketplace, adopting the language of corporate reputation inside and outside the company, and being prepared to measure the value of the investment. These issues provide the basic terms and conditions for the investment in and active management of a company’s reputation.Less

Chapter 5 begins with a vignette about a corporate executive tasked with turning round her firm’s sustainability reputation. She must develop a holistic strategy for communicating the company’s environmental goals, progress, and achievements to its diverse stakeholders. It introduces and provides examples of the different forms, interfaces, and architectures by which corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations and individuals can use to effectively deliver environmental information to their intended audiences. Possible delivery mechanisms include labels on products, ratings in a press release, data on a website, awards on a billboard, or slogans on a boycott sign. Concepts such as prominence, intelligibility, and feasibility are introduced and used to evaluate these different communication strategies. The chapter concludes with a further discussion of the noteworthy communication practices being used by existing information-based environmental governance initiatives.Less

Ince's next few releases for First National were a series of contrasts that emphasized the steady progression of his career and films, culminating in his single most personally prescient production, Her Reputation. These movies demonstrated the public interest in stories dramatizing changing gender roles in society, and the regional interests at the heart of Ince's work. They also highlight Ince's leading director and writer, and many favorite performers. When Her Reputation and the novel of the film were released on September 3, 1923, the film was anticipated to do average business, with an exhibition value of $475,000. By the end of February 1924, after just over five months in release, it had grossed $201,048.49.Less

Thomas Jefferson: Reputation and Legacy is the first major study of Jefferson's reputation in half a century. It is concerned with Jefferson-both as something Jefferson made and something he sought to shape. Jefferson was acutely aware that he would be judged by posterity and he sought to influence how he would be viewed. Jefferson believed that the political struggles of his lifetime would continue after his death, and he sought to influence them from the grave in order to safeguard his vision of a republican future for the United States. This book begins with an assessment of Jefferson's understanding of history before tracing the ebb and flow of Jefferson's reputation since his death. It pays particular attention to the period since the Second World War when historians adopted a more critical view of Jefferson, especially with regard to the question of race and slavery. It considers the political and historiographical controversy over Jefferson's relationship with his slave, Sally Hemings.Less

This introduction provides an overview of the history of Thomas Jefferson's reputation. It describes the four stages of Jefferson's reputation since his death in 1826. It places this study in the context of the limited historiography on Jefferson's reputation, noting that the only substantive study prior to this, Merrill D. Peterson's Jefferson Image in the American Mind covered the period from 1826 until the dedication of the Jefferson Memorial in 1943. Explains that this study considers Jefferson's understanding of history and the importance of his posthumous reputation before assessing the ebb and flow of Jefferson's reputation since 1943.Less

Reputations abound in world politics, but we know little about how reputations form and evolve: namely, how do countries form reputations? Do these reputations affect interstate politics in the global arena? In this book, Crescenzi develops a theory of reputation dynamics to help identify when reputations form in ways that affect world politics, both in the realms of international conflict and cooperation. A reputation for honoring one’s obligations in a treaty, for example, canmake a state a more attractive ally; on the other hand, a reputation for war and conflict can triggermore of the same, leading to a cycle of violence that exacerbates security challenges. These processes of cooperation and conflict are linked by a common use of the information held in each state’s reputation. In each case, states use reputational information in an attempt to resolve the uncertainty they face when crafting foreign policy decisions. Crescenzi usesablendof historical andempirical analysis to show how reputations matter in world politics, demonstrating that over time and across the globe, reputations for conflict exacerbate crises, while reputations for cooperation and reliability make future cooperation more likely.Less

This chapter examines the study of reputation in world politics and provides a model of reputation formation and evolution, emphasizing that, paradoxically, the role and relevance of reputation in global relations has been both pervasive and evasive. The chapter identifies a functional, dynamic model of reputation, and introduces the key terms of “antagonist,” “protagonist,” and “proxy” states. This model places particular emphasis on states in the context of world politics, and argues that states and their leaders indeed have reputations, but these reputations are complex and multi-dimensional. The post-WWII relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union provides an illuminating example.Less

The first chapter details the nature of sovereign debts. The sovereign nature of the issuer has an enormous impact in terms of risk. At the very least, one may argue that sovereign bonds have a split personality in terms of risk. Indeed, debt issued by a government can be considered as either the safest financial asset or one of the riskiest. This chapter details the incentives governments have to repay their debts. It further shows the difference between default and repudiation. When states default they declare themselves unable to repay their debts. In the case of repudiation the legality of the debts is questioned. The difference is especially relevant in the Russian case as the Soviets decided to repudiate the Tsarist debts to mark a clear break with the previous regime. The chapter ends by detailing how the nature of lenders may affect negotiations and reimbursement.Less

This chapter first reviews the literature suggesting that reputational concerns may prompt sovereigns to honour their debts. It then shows that Russia benefited from a good reputation before the repudiation. The chapter then proceeds to analyse the motivations underlying the decision to repudiate the debts and the role played by the various bondholders’ associations. The analysis of the negotiations suggests that the Soviet regime used promises to repay as a diplomatic tool. The lack of coordination amongst creditors and the failure of the international conferences held at Genoa and The Hague opened the way to bilateral treaties. The Soviet Union managed gradually to get international recognition. As for trade sanctions they were in the Russian case ineffective as some creditors came to value trading with Russia as more important than reimbursement.Less

In situations where people are uncertain about what a company is doing, or whether or not to engage with it, or what they are buying from it is of good quality, a good reputation can help to alleviate this uncertainty. Over time markets for corporate reputation may emerge in these situations. One such market is for universities. Each year a number of different rankings appear to help students make their choice of where to go. When reputation markets operate then investing in a better reputation than one’s competitors can lead to a wide range of commercial payoffs – including a better and more resilient share price.Less

Imagine that you could fast-forward time and compare your paper’s impact had it had been published in Journal A vs. Journal B. Publishing in Journal A may result a remarkable trajectory: many citations and the creation of a new lines of research. Publishing in B could be a positive accomplishment but lead to a more moderate impact or perhaps none at all. The same paper, two different journals, two different impacts. Indeed, venue can make a difference. This chapter will present different considerations in choosing a journal and how to develop a coherent strategy.Less

The chapter focuses on political challenges to the decentralized structure of the U.S. polity, and on the response of conservative bankers. Wildcat bankers increasingly contested and disrupted the activities of conservative bankers, ultimately appealing to the need to defend slavery. Even in the aftermath of the Civil War, when slavery was formally abolished, sectional divisions continued characterizing debates about, and legislation on, the proper role of government. Conservative bankers were thus forced to refashion themselves as neutral arbiters of character and reputations, couching this role in an ideology that identified the value of money as deriving from commercial transactions, and shaping the constitution of the Federal Reserve System accordingly.Less

Authors need to write productively while maintaining quality standards. Productivity pushed too far however can negatively influence quality, which can mean publication in less demanding journals and a lowering in one’s scientific reputation.

This chapter examines how evangelical congregations, Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian, became sources of institutional authority that helped to define and regulate honor and shame in their communities. Practiced differently by different denominations, church discipline intersected with the assumptions of honor in rituals such as excommunication and provided an avenue to address rumors, as well as to defend, or attack, reputations. Church discipline also addressed matters of debt and commerce that were intimately connected to honor and identity in the South. This chapter argues that because of its public nature church discipline became one of the central stages on which communal authority shaped individual identity in the Deep South.Less
