Title: “Turns Black Skin White”: Status, Black Women, and Early 1900s American Beauty Advertisements
Abstract: Black women in America have been at the crux of many intersections of oppressions and expectations. Often, this is manifested through beauty standards that privilege Eurocentric features. American society often uses such standards to determine whether Black women are deserving of respect, equal treatment, and human decency. This public conversation on what is, or is not, appropriate for Black women’s social value connects to a long historical discourse centering Black women and beauty. Considering early 1900s American beauty advertisements, this presentation serves to explore some of the ways that beauty has been advertised to Black women under the guise of equality, social mobility, and respectability. Some of the questions that this presentation will answer include: 1. During the early 1900s, what were some of the beauty products and practices advertised to Black women? 2. How do the advertisements promote social, political, and/or economic equality, justice, and/or citizenship? 3. What do these beauty advertisements, articles, and discussions tell us about societal expectations and perceptions of Black women and beauty? To collect data for this research, I used the college online databases for access to ProQuest Black Historical Newspapers. Searching the newspaper for beauty advertisements, I looked for articles published during the early to mid 1900s that would provide insight on societal standards and perspectives of beauty. Ultimately, the findings share that a specific beauty was a way to first class citizenship, a new ethnic identity, and cleanliness. This understanding of what beauty was for Black women was heavily influenced by white supremacy, the social construction of race, and racism. Considering historical practices of determining beauty and access to opportunity, this research calls for the challenging of current and future societal definitions of beauty, the politics of respectability, and the way that race is either privileged or deemed unworthy in society.

Title: 3c’s of National Anti-Profiteering Authority: Competency, Cases, and its Contribution
Abstract: India introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017 with one of the advantages expected was lower prices of goods and services due to reduction in tax rates and the provision of input tax credit (ITC). However, there were apprehensions that businesses may not pass on the benefit of tax rate cuts and ITC to the consumers in the form of lower prices. To ensure that consumers benefit from this regime, an “Anti-profiteering” clause was introduced in the GST Law. The aim being ensuring businesses pass on to consumers any tax rate cuts and cost savings resulting from adoption of GST. Anti-Profiteering Rules, 2017 was formulated prescribing an administrative structure to deal with consumer complaints about profiteering by businesses. The structure comprises, among others, Director General of Safeguards (DGS), and National Anti-Profiteering Authority (NAA) who investigates written consumer complaints of profiteering practices by businesses and submits the investigation report to the NAA, which then gives its verdict. Stringent penalty can also be suggested against business entities for profiteering. The objectives of this paper are to: understand the jurisprudence; and examine whether NAA was successful in meeting its objectives. The cases/disputes handled by the NAA and verdicts/orders given on each case will be the basis of data collection. The qualitative method of research will be undertaken considering this being an inter-disciplinary and doctrinal research based study with an interface of law, economics, and public finance.

Title: Goldman’s Pluralistic Approach to Aesthetic Experience in Case of Piet Mondrian’s Intuitive Neo-Plastic Art
Abstract: The objective of this article is to demonstrate the credibility of pluralistic approach to aesthetic experience, mainly focused on Goldman’s recent argument, in case of Neo-Plastic paintings which is chosen as the most mature and sophisticated paradigm of pure abstract art. Furthermore, this article aims to assess the validity of the thesis of contemporary aestheticians, particularly Goldman, who purport that even when spectators attend to form and formal qualities, they should attend to art object through a pluralistic mode: interactive and simultaneous involvement of all mental faculties namely perception, imagination, emotion, and cognition. Hence, this article proposes this hypothesis that Neo-Plastic art, as one of the most sophisticated instances of pure abstract painting created based on premises of formalism, can be truly perceived by using a pluralistic mode of aesthetic experience. To authenticate such hypothesis, Mondrian’s writings will be examined in the light of two different viewpoints to aesthetic experience: formalists intuitive approach and Goldman’s pluralistic approach. At the end of this article, we will realize that although Mondrian, and majority of scholars, in several instances in his writings emphasizes on the role of intuition for creation and aesthetic perception of spiritual content (universal beauty as truth) of his Neo-Plastic art, but his approach for aesthetic experience of works of art, similar to recent argument of Goldman, is pluralistic; meaning that for appreciation of aesthetic value of Neo-Plastic paintings all mental faculties, except imagination, are correlatively involved. Undeniably, having a vigorous and compelling account on tenability of pluralistic approach to aesthetic experience in case of pure abstract art, greatly expands the quality of spectator’s aesthetic appreciation for this genre of art which its true aesthetic value has been often obscured for spectators.
Keywords: Aesthetic experience, disinterested contemplation, formalism, intuition, pure abstract art, Alan H. Goldman, Piet Mondrian.

Title: The Developmental State in The United States? An Institutional Perspective on The Debate
Abstract: The developmental state (DS) is arguably one of the most prominent international political economy frameworks that shed light on economic development. Emerged in the early 1980s, DS is commonly seen as the most attractive alternative to the mainstream paradigms on development – especially the ones that prioritize market-oriented approaches influenced by neo-classical economics and neoliberalism. DS has commonly been used to examine political economy dynamics of development processes in developing countries, i.e. (i) success stories of the twentieth-century Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, (ii) evolution of developmental states in East Asia, (iii) relative failures of other large developing countries, such as Brazil and India. However, a growing scholarship also discusses the forms and features of the developmental state that is witnessed (or not) in one of the least expected places: the so-called “hidden developmental state” of the US. This article concentrates on recent debates that are on the so-called US’ “hidden developmental state”. The main objective is to assess to what degree the developmental state framework, a particular form of state-led developmentalism, can be drawn on to understand the dynamics of development processes in the US. To this end, the article analytically examines (i) different definitions of the DS provided in the scholarship, (ii) the DS in the twenty-first century, and (iii) the use of the concept in the context of the US. The article concludes that it is possible to use the developmental state framework to understand development dynamics in the US and beyond, only if an institutional perspective is taken.
Keywords: Developmental state, state-led developmentalism, “hidden developmental state”.

Title: Developing an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior Model for Small E-Waste Recycling: An Analysis of Consumer Behavior Determinants
Abstract: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), also called e-waste, is the world’s fastest-growing waste stream but only has a 17.4% recycling rate according to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020. The collection rate for small WEEE (sWEEE), e.g. used mobile phones, is even lower than 10% due to stockpiling at home and improper disposal via the general waste or private informal channels. The purpose of this paper was to (a) review how the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is applied in the literature related to consumer behavior intention for WEEE recycling and determine the most significant TPB predictors by comparing their standardized influence coefficients across various studies, and (b) to identify additional behavior determinants specific to sWEEE recycling and thus develop a new TPB-sWEEE theoretical framework by integrating the TPB model with these new determinants in order to improve the predictability of consumers’ sWEEE recycling behavior intention. This paper reviewed over 30 peer-reviewed studies from Scopus and high impact factor journals and led to the following three key findings: (a) more variables of recycling behavioral intention determinants such as the size of WEEE need to be considered; (b) Eight sWEEE-specific behavioral determinants are identified and included in the newly developed TPB-sWEEE model, including consumers’ Sentimental Attachment, Data Security Concern, Economic Incentives, and How-to Knowledge; (c) For some sWEEE-specific determinants, their extent of influence differs across various regions and countries. This paper contributes to the sWEEE-specific consumer recycling behavior theoretical framework to fill the existing gap in the literature and provides recommendations through the new model for research-based behavioral intervention strategies and policy designs globally.
Keywords: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Small WEEE (sWEEE), E-waste, Consumer recycling behavioral intention, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Determinants, TPB-sWEEE theoretical framework
