Résumé En hommage à l’analyse de la thèse de Louis Panier sur les tentations de Jésus dans le désert, nous voulons montrer que les réponses réussies aux manipulations diaboliques peuvent toujours être organisées selon le schéma « mystique vs. politique ». Car le diable échoue en se limitant au « politique » quand Jésus lui oppose avec succès, par ses citations testamentaires, la dimension mystique. Des commentaires récents sur le texte de l’Évangile ont souligné sa pertinence aujourd’hui, renforçant l’opposition entre mystique et politique. En ce qui concerne l’Église orthodoxe russe et les discours du patriarche Cyrille, dans le contexte dramatique de la guerre en Ukraine, on pouvait s’attendre, en particulier lors du dimanche du pardon du 6 mars 2022, à un discours spirituel d’apaisement et de réconciliation. Or Cyrille désémantisera la notion de pardon, excluant les coupables d’homosexualité, et leur promettant même l’enfer, à la gauche de Jésus (1e partie de l’article). Le retour d’une relation étroite entre la religion et l’État en Russie n’est pas un secret. Sans être une religion d’État, l’orthodoxie joue néanmoins un rôle majeur dans la vie publique. Pourtant, il existe un fossé indéniable entre le rôle social de la religion et le soutien théologique à l’action politique militaire. À partir du discours de Cyrille en ce dimanche du pardon, nous posons deux questions. Comment son discours met-il en évidence l’annulation de cette distance ? Dans quelle mesure les discours apologétiques du patriarche Cyrille fournissent-ils un ancrage théologique à une action purement politique, dont Poutine prétend qu’elle repose sur un désaccord interculturel ? (2e partie de l’article).

International audience

Scholars spanning different fields within the social sciences have long recognized that communication is a key element of leadership. While early research on leader communication focused largely on how communication revealed leader characteristics, researchers in later decades have expanded their focus to how leader communication affects followers, stakeholders, and organizations. In addition, thanks to advancing analytical technologies such as NLP- and AI-based tools, scholars can now assess leader communication at greater scale (e.g., big data) and in more diverse forms (e.g., text, vocal tone, facial expressions, body gestures). This series of papers speak to these research trends, and document several key ways in which leaders’ verbal and nonverbal communication affects consequential outcomes, from leaders’ own career outcomes to stakeholders’ reactions to that communication. The five studies take place in diverse empirical contexts and feature diverse methods in studying leaders’ communication data. The symposium will offer valuable insights into leaders’ influence processes through their communication, and showcase various ways scholars can study them.

Abstract This paper systematically analyzes and synthesizes the literature on the determinants and consequences of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure. The study is unique in that it synthesizes based on the geographical setting of the original research. We analyzed 135 empirical studies published in Chartered Association of Business Schools (ABS) ranked journals from 1982 to 2020. The results reveal that various global, country‐specific, market‐specific, and firm‐specific factors are important in determining a firm's CSR disclosure policies. These factors are consistently relevant in both developed and developing economies. Furthermore, the synthesis shows that companies achieve various CSR disclosure‐related benefits in the form of a better reputation, enhanced financial performance, better access to external finances, better stakeholder management, and enhanced corporate accountability. In terms of theories, we observe a high heterogeneity among various studies examining the same empirical phenomenon. Based on the analysis and review results, we identify avenues for future research.

L’écoute clinique des familles divorcées en expertise psychologique forme la trame des observations relatées ici. Ces familles se situent dans la continuité de conflits conjugaux qui ont existé lorsque leurs liens se sont délités et que l’équilibre entre leurs désirs et défenses s’est rompu. Les parents transfèrent sur leurs enfants et sur les modalités de résidence le reste de conflits anciens à travers des transitions conflictuelles et des perturbations de leurs communications parentales. Certains enfants, plus nostalgiques que d’autres de l’union parentale, sont le témoignage de la déchirure de l’enveloppe groupale qui remplissait des fonctions phoriques. Ils vont reconstituer leur enveloppe psychique en s’alliant avec un des parents et en désignant l’autre parent comme une personne hostile.

Tomando como punto de partida el desafío que supone el pluralismo para el diálogo, nos hallamos ante la tendencia de replegarnos en nosotros mismos o bien, de abrirnos aún más al otro. Todo depende de la visión y la consideración del otro y de su cultura. Al superar el miedo a perder la propia identidad, el diálogo puede conducir al enriquecimiento mutuo. De hecho, el diálogo intercultural es ante todo un diálogo interpersonal, y por eso es posible. Esto significa que para vivir el primero, parece necesario vivirlo primero en el plano interpersonal sin forzarlo, porque el verdadero diálogo es la expresión de la libertad, que es su condición de posibilidad.

This chapter presents the findings of a comparative analysis of arbitration laws in fourteen countries. The analysis focuses on scope and interpretation of arbitration clauses, anti-arbitration laws and policies, arbitrator bias and misconduct, the public policy exception, and other limits on arbitrability. The chapter determines areas of commonality and divergences across national laws relating to judicial intervention into the arbitration process, and provides an assessment of possible trends in international commercial arbitration.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate whether idiosyncratic volatility is a priced risk factor in the Australian stock market.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use the change in idiosyncratic volatility around acquisition announcements and the related stock price revaluation to test whether the idiosyncratic risk is priced. If the idiosyncratic risk is priced, increases (decreases) in idiosyncratic volatility should be associated with decreases (increases) in the acquirer’s stock price, as the latter’s future cash flows are discounted at a higher (lower) rate. The sample consists of 2,656 completed acquisitions by Australian listed firms over the period January 1990 to October 2014 for which deal value represents more than 5 per cent of the acquirer’s market value.FindingsIncreases (decreases) in idiosyncratic risk are associated with significant decreases (increases) in firm value. This negative relationship is robust to the presence of outliers; is unaffected by the incidence of the 2007-2008 financial crisis; holds using alternative measures of idiosyncratic risk; and is more significant after excluding the resources sector. Firms with a higher idiosyncratic risk prior to the acquisition, and firms avoiding stock to pay for the acquisition, experience a more significant stock price increase in relation to a decrease in idiosyncratic risk.Research limitations/implicationsConsidering the small size of the Australian economy, investors may have less scope to mitigate idiosyncratic risk. As a consequence, idiosyncratic risk is associated with the positive excess return, contrary to what standard asset pricing theory assumes. The results support Merton’s (1987) hypothesis that investors are exposed to idiosyncratic risk due to imperfect portfolio diversification and receive compensation for bearing that risk.Practical implicationsThe pricing of idiosyncratic risk may also explain why the Australian stock market has historically offered a high equity risk premium. A practical implication would be for international investors to take advantage of the diversification constraints of local investors to capture higher risk premiums and achieve superior returns.Originality/valueWhile prior studies demonstrate that stocks with higher idiosyncratic risk are associated with higher subsequent returns, the authors show that an increase in idiosyncratic risk is associated with a decrease in stock prices using acquisition announcements as shocks to a firm’s idiosyncratic risk. In other words, the results arise from within-firm variations rather than from cross-sectional differences in stock returns.
