Reconstructions and simulations disagree on whether the Holocene exhibited a long-term cooling or warming signal. Anthropogenic land-use could be an important forcing regionally, but available population-based estimates differ widely.

While previous research suggests that top managers’ long-term orientation is related to their strategic decision making processes, few studies have investigated this relationship in a Western cultural context. Therefor, the aim of the current thesis is to investigate the relationship between long-term orientation and strategic decision making processes, specifically, decision comprehensiveness, de

Since 2016, seven countries have withdrawn its recognition of Taiwan which have left the contested state with only fifteen diplomatic allies.
