This study aims to examined the effect of cash flow and growth opportunity to the investment, and whether the exclusive relationship owned by the company with a government owned bank relationship moderates the effect of cash flow and growth opportunity on investment. This study used a sample of data from 101 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2013-2017. The multiple linear regression results show that cash flow and growth opportunity have a significant positive effect on investment, the government owned bank relationship weakens the effect of cash flow on investment but strengthens growth opportunity's influence on investment. This means that if the company has an exclusive relationship with a state-owned bank, it will reduce the dependence of cash flow to invest and increase investment opportunities.

This volume takes examples from Morocco, Egypt, Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Germany to demonstrate the potential and the limitations of youth research in the Arab world and beyond. The study of young adults is still underdeveloped as an area of research. Despite growing awareness of its vital significance since September 11th, not a single comprehensive youth study exists for an Arab country. Current research is often scattered, partly inaccessible, and to a great extent concentrates on specialized topics.

Despite the continuous support by central government, the diverse of socio-environmental context hinder local government to fully implements of SAKIP. This paper sought to portray the implementation and challenges that is faced by one local government agencies in Sukabumi, West Java Indonesia in implementing Indonesian public performance management system (SAKIP). This paper is using qualitative approach by conducting structured interview to key informants. The results showed that organizational variables have been able to accommodate the implementation of SAKIP policy through units formed specifically in organizational structure and governance regulations, organizational interpretation variables are still necessary to improve the dissemination of policy information to all levels of employees, application variables where the implementation of policies are still experiencing constraints, especially in planning and evaluation, as well as a lack of specific strategies in improving organizational performance.

This study aims to explain how the psychological process affects perceived organizational politics (POP) toward organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The paradoxical effect of POP to OCB needs to be explained through two psychological processes: First, the mediation effect of psychological safety which explains POP as a barrier to OCB. Second, the mediation effect of careerism which explains POP as an OCB driver. One of the government institutions in Malang District used as research objects, involving 97 employees as respondents. A quantitative approach using Partial Least Square (PLS) used as the method of this study. The results showed careerism mediated the relationship between POP and OCB. But the surprising result is that psychological safety cannot mediate the effect of POP to OCB because employees feel that there is no high threat of doing voice behaviour, helping behaviour and individual initiatives in the political environment. These results indicate that OCB is a safe activity when it does not contrary to other people's self-interest, so it does not cause a conflict.

The breakup of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1991 had significant repercussions on Chinese politics, foreign policy, and other aspects. In this book, Jie Li examines the evolution of Chinese intellectual perceptions of the Soviet Union in the 1980s and 1990s, before and after the collapse. Relying on a larger body of updated Chinese sources, Li re-evaluates many key issues in post-Mao Chinese Sovietology, arguing that the Chinese views on the Soviet Union had been influenced and shaped by the ups-and-downs of Sino-Soviet (and later Sino-Russian) relations, China's domestic political climate, and the political developments in Moscow. By researching the country of the Soviet Union, Chinese Soviet-watchers did not focus on the USSR alone, but mostly attempted to confirm and legitimize the Chinese state policies of reform and open door in both decades. By examining the Soviet past, Chinese scholars not only demonstrated concern for the survival of the CCP regime, but also attempted to envision the future direction and position of China in the post-communist world
