“…Although, it is only a conjecture at this stage, we surmise that, our Proposed Model is not equipped to account for the so called symbolic adoption and institutional decoupling phenomena (Meyer & Rowan, 1977). That is, although countries are adopting e-Gov systems in large numbers (e.g., Boyer-Wright & Kotterman, 2008), some are not moving beyond the adoption stage. In particular, only those that have fairly developed national governance institutions may be able to actually exploit the underlying technologies in their operations to move towards the assimilation stages of e-Gov.…”

“…Third, his framework is parsimonious, consisting of the abovementioned sectors, and thus very manageable. This simplicity is a major plus in the on-going search for potentially bewildering array of factors that influence diffusion of e-Gov (e.g., Moon et al, 2005;Boyer-Wright & Kotterman, 2008). Fourth, he makes a convincing empirical case via a rich analysis of the data on three countries that indeed, the institutions of national governance make a difference to ICT and Internet diffusion.…”

“…However, the examination of e-Gov penetration beyond the initial adoption in different countries reveals a pattern whereby the diffusion among the industrialized countries appears to be greater than within the developing and transition nations. This difference among the two groups of industrial and developing/ transition economies has been the subject of research and more specifically a search for the key drivers that can explain the difference (e.g., Boyer-Wright & Kotterman, 2008). Indeed, the prior research has revealed useful factors including the level of economic development, availability of broadband, cost of telecommunications, and web site design which may explain some of the differences in diffusion rates (e.g., West, 2007).…”

Prior research has established the existence of a differential between industrialized and other countries for e-Government diffusion. It attempts to explain this divide by identifying economic and technical variables. At the same time, the role of national governance institutions in e-Government diffusion has been relatively under-theorized and under-studied. The authors posit that, the existing national governance institutions shape the diffusion and assimilation of e-Government in any country via associated institutions in three key sectors: government, private sector and non-governmental organizations. This paper develops and tests a preliminary model of e-Government diffusion using the governance institutional climate as represented via democratic practices, transparency of private sector corporate governance, corruption perception, and the free press. The results indicate that the level of development of national governance institutions can explain the level of e-Government diffusion over and above economic and technical variables. The authors’ research contributes to the literature by providing initial evidence that the existing national governance institutions influence and shape e-Gov diffusion and assimilation beyond the adoption stage.

“…The subsequent formation of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange provided the first organised marketplace for trading these shares, setting a precedent for future stock exchanges (Lodewijk, 2014). This innovative approach to raising capital was later adopted in the United States, with The Philadelphia Bank launching the country's first IPO in 1783 (Wright, 2002). The establishment of the New York Stock & Exchange Board under the Buttonwood Agreement in the 1790s further advanced the IPO mechanism by creating a platform for stock trading, a precursor to the current New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (Banner, 1998).…”

“…Likewise, Nia is mentored by both men and women, just like Kara has been. In her initial dream sequence, Nia stops the vibrating shadow, causing Brainy and Kara to turn to each other in surprise, with Brainy exclaiming "she's already modulating her dreaming" (Wright, Carrasco, & Smith, 2018). Later in the episode, after they have been detained by the Children of Liberty, Nia sees a vision that one of them is about to execute her, Brainy, and Kara.…”

Although it takes more than diverse media representation to create positive social change, representation is still an important part of normalizing identities and pushing discussions of social issues. However, representations of certain minority groups, whether on the basis of racial, ethnic, sexual, or gender identities, are often largely absent in media, and flawed when they do exist. This is true of comic books and the various forms of media that have adapted superhero stories. For instance, superhero tales have long been dominated by depictions of superheroes who are heterosexual cisgender men. Because of this trend spanning from the 1930s into the 21 st century, superhero stories have developed a reputation of being a boy's club rife with sexism. Certainly, this issue persists to this day, but this thesis provides a snapshot of how women are fairing in superhero media in the mid-to-late 2010s. By focusing specifically on the case study of the CW's Supergirl, I discuss how representations of superwomen have improved greatly compared to popular expectations and no longer entirely reflect a singular and problematic ideal of what being a woman means. In particular, my examination is centered around three of Supergirl's main women: protagonist Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Kara's sister and super spy Alex Danvers, and the heroic Nia Nal/Dreamer. By doing an in-depth analysis of how femininity is represented through these three women, I argue that the show presents complex and nuanced depictions of femininity that are a strong step forward for the genre. long legal battle against a Maine school for prohibiting her access to the girls' washroom, Nicole decided to go public with her identity as the anonymous plaintiff, explaining "stories move the walls that need to be moved" (Nutt, 2015, p. 259). Nicole argues that by telling stories including diverse people, these diverse identities become recognized and accepted in society. This ethos fit perfectly with what I wanted to write about in my own thesis, so given Maines' involvement, I settled on investigating Supergirl.1.2 "Why? Because I'm a Girl?": Supergirl and This Project This project is a snapshot of women's position in superhero media in the mid to late 2010s, explored through a case study of the first four seasons (87 episodes) of the television show Supergirl (2015-present). I focus primarily on the protagonist character Supergirl/Kara Danvers, Kara's adoptive sister Alex Danvers, and sidekick/fellow superhero Dreamer/Nia Nal. Focusing on them allows me to examine three diverse representations of femininity: a cisgender heterosexual woman (Kara), a transgender heterosexual woman (Nia), and a cisgender lesbian woman (Alex).The two cis characters are portrayed by cis actresses Melissa Benoist and Chyler Leigh respectively, and Nia is portrayed by trans actress/activist Nicole Maines. All three women are white, but their versions of femininity differ: Alex becomes increasingly androgynous throughout the show, Nia is outwardly "girly," and Kara's expression falls betw...
