However, these corporations who have joint contributions do not all have interlocking directors, in the same industry, or have headquarters in the same state. So, I decided to run a MR-QAP analysis on this, with Joint Contributions as the dependent variable and Industry, State, and Interlocking Directors as the independent variables.

By looking at how historians and scholars understand the Sonderweg thesis, one can make analytical argument that the Sonderweg led to National Socialism as well as did not lead to…

By the time of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt, foreign affairs have expanded far beyond merely Nubia and the Levant; archaeological and literary records have demonstrated interactions with the “Sea Peoples”, Mesopotamians, and other “Asiatics” from the east.
