「国民国家とは異なって、企業という政治組織体では、その住民は簡単にそこを離れて、あてがわれた料理を食べないということがあり得ます。」 ☆企業の株主らを住民に見立てて、せっかく企業が「長期的で持続可能な収益性を最大化」しようとしても、例えば「目先の利益に動機づけられて」、企業の提供する料理（方針案）を受け入れず、別の提案をするという危険性がある、というような趣旨と読みました。

eat their own cooking は eat your own dog food という決まり文句を頭に置いていると思われます。eat your own dog food は、「自分 （たち） の作ったもの （もしくはサービス） を使う」 という意味があるので、But in corporate polities, unlike nation states, the citizenry can easily depart and not eat their own cooking. という文を見ると、「企業は国家とは違うので、その住民 （社員） は （自分の意思で） 自由にそこを去り、その （かつて所属していた会社で製造していた） ものを使わなくてもいい」 という意味に取れます。

Rational actor theories suggest that individuals, organizations, and nation-states are motivated by a desire to maximize their material interests. Based on this type of theory, we might hypothesize that voters select candidates that further their own economic interest. です。ちょっと手に負えません(-_-;)よろしくお願いします!!

In this era preceding the emergence of a universal international society, what assumptions were made about the relationsbetween states or rulers that belonged to different regional international syrtems, as opposed to the much more intimate and continuous relations among states or rulers within the same system?This question has an important bearing on our study.We do not kmow enough to be able to provide a comprehensive answer to it,but certain things can be said.It is clearthat states or rulers have commonly enough entered into agreements with states or rulers-and indeed with merchants and other individuals and groups - outside their own regiomal international system and the civilization with which it is associated.

The supremacy of de facto power over legal title is clear from two additional elements of the Rules. First, the regulator extended “beneficial ownership” to include persons holding a right to own any time within 60 days, not only those who currently own, equity shares. The emphasis is on whether a person is legally entitled to relocate the power of the share (in this case, place it at their own disposal); i.e. to change (within 60 days) the identity of the person who may exercise the voting and/or investment power. Second, the exemption to record holders who may vote on some matters without instruction from the individual for whom they hold the stock, only exempts one class of record holders: those who can vote without instruction on matters “other than contested matters or matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of the securities to be voted.” This exemption, in fact, supports the general rule. Except for the limited cases where the exemption applies, if one person holds the legal right to vote while another has the actual power to decide the voting, only the person able to direct the voting must disclose. 以上の英文の以下の試訳の添削をお願い申し上げます。 「法的所有権に対する事実上の優位は，規則の２つの追加的な要素から明らかである。第一に，規制者は，普通株を現行所有していない者ではなく，60日以内のいずれかの日に所有する権利を持っている者を含めるよう，「受益的所有者」（の規定範囲を）を拡張した。その者が法的に株式に関する権利を再編する権利を与えられているか否か（このケースでは，彼ら自身でその普通株を処分できるか否か），すなわち，（60日以内に）投票する権力または投資する力あるいはその両方を行使する場合があるまさに当該者を代える力を与えられているか否かが強調されている。第二に，まさにその者のために彼らが株式を所有する当該人から指図されることなく，何らかの事柄について投票する場合がある名義上の所有者に対する免除が，ある種別の名義上の所有者，すなわち，「争点となっている事柄または投票されるべき証券の所有者の権利あるいは特権に大きな影響を及ぼすかも知れない事柄を除く」事柄について指図を受けることなく投票できる名義上の所有者だけを適用から外す。この免除が実際には原則を担保する。例外が適用される限られたケースを除いて，ある者が投票する法的権限を持つ一方で他の者が投票する決定する実際の権利を持つなら，投票を指図することのできるまさにその者だけが情報公開しなければならない。」 Nakay702様には重複のお願いになりますが，どうぞ宜しくお願い申し上げます。

【本文】 Through a combination of immigration and difference in birthrate among ethnic groups, many countries in western Europe are experiencing a change in their ethnic and cultural composition. There are various reactions to these developments. At one end of the range are the radical cosmopolitans, who view nation states and national identities as dangerously old-fashioned. At the other end are the ethnic nationalists who wish to defend the purity of their own nation against all newcomers. My own position lies between these extremes. Immigration on a modest scale brings benefits in the form of diversity and new ideas, but the pace of the present transformation in Europe worries me. I believe it inevitably invites conflict.I also believe that nations are historical communities that have the right to shape their own collective future as they see fit, and to resist developments that gradually injure their identity and sense of continuity. I do not believe that national identity can, or should, be remade at will by a cosmopolitan elite to be consistent with its own vision of how the world should be. Many nations, especially in Europe, have deep roots and their existence promotes the global diversity that cosmopolitans claim to value. Many cosmopolitans agree that “oppressed peoples”such as the Palestinians have rights to a homeland and identity, but they deny such rights to the historic majorities of western Europe. European nation states are facing a challenge on many different levels. It is not just an issue of immigration and ethnic transformation. Global economic developments in trade, production and finance have partly undermined the internal unity of their national economies, while political developments are challenging their sovereignty and internal democratic structures. It is not surprising that the people most hostile to immigration are also the most hostile to economic globalization and to supranational institutions. They are raising, although often in anti-foreigner form, issues of community, identity and self-determination that should concern all democrats. Benedict Anderson invented the term “imagined community” to describe a nation. Some writers have interpreted this term as practically equal to“imaginary”and therefore unreal. But this is false. A nation is no more imaginary than a language. Indeed,they are similar and related. Both have an abstract, symbolic aspect that establishes a connection between people who do not personally know each other. Both have historical roots and, once established in the minds of the people, take on a life of their own. A nation is a community and as such is to some extent exclusive. Its members share a sense of common identity and have special moral duties to each other. The national community also has moral duties to outsiders, although these are more limited than towards its own members. Not everyone in the community will share this sense of identity and duty to the same extent. Some people may hardly feel part of the nation at all because they are too self-absorbed or too cosmopolitan in attitude. Some people may identify strongly with certain features of the nation, but not with others. But these differences do not matter, as long as there is enough common ground to give the nation internal unity and preserve a sense of historical continuity. 本文の原文は、こちらのページから引用しました。 http://www.gakushuin.ac.jp/univ/adm/adm/test/ippan/05/q/1e.pdf 設問はこのページの問題とほぼ同じでした。 A,C,F,Hの問いについて、お願いします。自分は、イ,イ,ロ,ロと選んで見ました。特にAの問いが良く分かりませんでした。

Only around Armentières were the German defences on lower ground. The possibility of a withdrawal to more easily defensible ground, was rejected by Joffre, the French Generalissimo and all the Allied commanders preferred to improve their positions by advancing. With this in mind, the French and British made far less effort to improve their defences, which conceded another advantage to the Germans, who could attack positions protected by far less extensive barbed wire barriers and few deep-mined dug-outs than their own. Allowing such positions to relapse into quiet fronts was rejected by the British, who instituted sniping, unpredictable artillery bombardments and raids, which provoked German retaliation; the British conducted three attacks against five by the Germans and numerous raids.
