The Comintern and the Global South : Global Designs/Local Encounters
The Comintern and the Global South: Global Designs/Local Encounters studies the relations and productive tensions between the Third International, intellectual histories of racial justice and anti-imperialism, as well as other forms of internationalism.Building on extant institutional histories of the Third International, it moves in new directions by focusing on the points of intersection – often conflictual and short-lived – with anti-imperialist, anti-racist, and nationalist organizing, making the Third International a site of encounter between a global political project and more local and regional contexts.Due to the broad range of geographic and linguistic expertise of the contributors, this book traces routes of exchange that are often elided in existing studies of the Third International.The chapters address how actors from Global South contexts shaped key debates on, for example, the role of Black, Indigenous, and migrant labor, the "Islamic question," and the "peasant question," which challenged Bolshevik epistemological frameworks.All such "questions" involved political subjectivities that the Comintern tried to reductively frame within a global revolution driven by Moscow, resulting in the Comintern’s ultimate disintegration.Nevertheless, this juncture between the Comintern’s global designs and its local encounters left a significant legacy that would later be reconfigured in mid-century anticolonial movements.

The New Era of Global Services : A Framework for Successful Enterprises in Business Services and IT
The New Era of Global Services is the result of interviews with more than seventy international leaders.The results show that in the coming years, Global Services will tend to grow in business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), peer-to-peer (P2P), an in particular peer-to-business (P2B) relationships.Deciding on locations will be a more flexible process that may include different countries, cities, and even the cloud (virtual sourcing).Therefore, an increase in delocalizing options (multi-sourcing) is expected.As a result, global labour arbitrage will create opportunities not only for secondary cities but also for cells and individuals with outstanding talents and appropriate telecommunication infrastructures.This, in turn, will foster the flourishing of companies with neither human resources of their own, nor a physical presence in a specific location. Author Javier Peña Capobianco makes a compelling case that over the coming twenty years, the companies that thrive will be those which not only embrace technology, but also generate disruptive business models in an authentic digital transformation process.However, only those who place people and their environment at the centre of their business plans will achieve true success.This is an important book for anyone involved in Global Services, as well as business students, entrepreneurs, C-suite professionals, policy makers and business academicians.

What is the understanding of local minima, local maxima, global maxima, and global minima?
Local minima and maxima refer to the points on a function where the function reaches a low or high point, respectively, within a small neighborhood of that point. Global minima and maxima, on the other hand, refer to the lowest and highest points on the entire function, respectively. In other words, global minima and maxima are the absolute lowest and highest points on the function, while local minima and maxima are only the lowest and highest points within a specific range. These concepts are important in optimization and calculus, as they help identify the best and worst points of a function.

What are local or global extrema?
Local extrema are points on a function where the function reaches a maximum or minimum value within a small neighborhood of that point. Global extrema, on the other hand, are points where the function reaches the maximum or minimum value over the entire domain of the function. Local extrema can occur at points where the derivative of the function is zero, while global extrema can occur at endpoints of the domain or at points where the derivative is zero.

What are local and global extrema?
Local extrema are the highest or lowest points within a specific interval or region of a function. They can be either a local maximum (the highest point in the interval) or a local minimum (the lowest point in the interval). Global extrema, on the other hand, are the absolute highest or lowest points of the entire function, not just within a specific interval. These points represent the overall maximum or minimum values of the function.

What are global and local extreme points?
Global extreme points are the highest or lowest points in a function over its entire domain. They represent the absolute maximum or minimum values of the function. Local extreme points, on the other hand, are the highest or lowest points within a specific interval or neighborhood of a function. They represent the maximum or minimum values within a smaller range, but not necessarily the absolute maximum or minimum of the entire function.

How do you determine local and global extrema?
Local extrema are determined by finding critical points where the derivative of the function is zero or undefined, and then using the first or second derivative test to determine if the critical point is a local maximum or minimum. Global extrema are found by comparing the values of the function at the critical points, endpoints of the interval, and any other relevant points within the interval. The highest value among these points is the global maximum, and the lowest value is the global minimum.

Is a local extremum also a global one?
No, a local extremum is not necessarily a global extremum. A local extremum is a point where a function reaches a maximum or minimum value within a small neighborhood, while a global extremum is the absolute maximum or minimum value of the function over its entire domain. A local extremum may or may not be the global extremum depending on the behavior of the function in the rest of the domain.

Is a local extremum also a global extremum?
A local extremum is not necessarily a global extremum. A local extremum is a point where the function reaches a maximum or minimum value within a small neighborhood, but it may not be the highest or lowest point in the entire function. A global extremum, on the other hand, is the highest or lowest point in the entire function. Therefore, a local extremum may or may not be a global extremum, depending on the behavior of the function in the larger context.

Why do global companies repeatedly come under criticism?
Global companies often come under criticism for a variety of reasons. One common criticism is related to their impact on the environment, as many global companies are accused of contributing to pollution and resource depletion. Additionally, global companies are often criticized for their labor practices, including low wages, poor working conditions, and exploitation of workers in developing countries. Furthermore, global companies are also scrutinized for their tax avoidance strategies and their influence on local economies and cultures. These criticisms stem from the significant power and influence that global companies hold, and the potential negative consequences of their actions on various stakeholders.
