Sommario/riassunto

"The theme of this volume is the American relationship with Macao and its region through trade, politics, and culture, and the focus is mainly on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The essays address topics such as the role of the China trade in US pacific expansion and exploration, US consuls, smuggling networks, American women's perceptions of China, and missionary and educational work. In all of the encounters, Macao emerges as a central player, adding a new dimension to our understanding of Sino-American relations."--Publisher's website.

Sommario/riassunto

International branding, as an area of research in international marketing, needs a domain and an impetus of its own. This e-book seeks to lift international branding out of out the shadow of international marketing and out of a pattern of largely replication studies centered on the standardization/localization debate. The articles that comprise the e-book seek a more comprehensive understanding of the dimensions of international branding and of its related paradigms.
