Yet, their impact on human capital has been divergent. The analysis presented in this paper supports the findings of Woodberry (2004, 2009, 2011) and Nunn (2009) in the case of the Republic of Korea. Mainline Protestant missions—Presbyterian and Methodist— promoted the Social Gospel and were the largest in the Republic of Korea implementing successful strategies such as using Korean (Hangul) as the lingua franca in their schools, churches, and medical facilities. Whereas the mainline Protestant denominations in the Republic of Korea successfully promoted investment in human capital, the case of Guatemala does not follow this pattern. Evangelical, Pentecostal, and neo-Pentecostal denominations and churches focused their efforts on evangelizing. Their premilliennialist beliefs translated into an eschatological urgency of conversion with little investment in human capital. As a result, institution-building requisite for investment in human capital (establishing educational institutions and medical facilities) characterized Protestant missions in the Republic of Korea, but not Guatemala. These diverging approaches to exporting Christianity have had differing longterm effects on the two societies.","PeriodicalId":227819,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Social Aspects & Impact (Topic)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121136579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question is of making it sustainable by involving the local tribal communities in this task through the process of capacity building and related community innovations. If this can be realized, we would have realized two goals of equal significance – first, protecting and preserving the unique tribal cultures and secondly economic development. We cannot suppose more than this.","PeriodicalId":227819,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Social Aspects & Impact (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128563433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Mandating Mediation in Family Law Conflict in Malaysia: Exploring Judges and Lawyers' Perspectives","authors":"N. Nawi","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1872860","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1872860","url":null,"abstract":"It is an assertion of this study that the benefits of making mediation mandatory clearly generally prevail over the potential harms for families, even when violence is an issue, provided that its design and realizations are carefully thought of. Thus, the current study is not concerned with whether or not mediation should be made mandatory in family disputes, but rather the best way in approaching its application and implementation in Malaysia. In line with this overall objective, this study was designed to explore the issues and concerns which relates to the establishment and development of a mandatory family mediation program especially from the perspectives of judges and lawyers, being the key informants and experts in contemporary civil family law practice in Malaysia. The findings reported in this paper highlighted the perceptions and expectations of the selected judges and lawyers on the probability of establishing a mandatory family mediation program and arising issues affecting its development in Malaysia. This study thus, is likely to assist policy makers in the country towards the development of a mandatory family mediation service that suits Malaysian civil law context.","PeriodicalId":227819,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Social Aspects & Impact (Topic)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122536058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
