A Global Assessment of Gender Quota Facilitating Mechanisms: Placement Mandates, Sanctions, and Financial Incentives
How do facilitating mechanisms affect the share of women in parliament? Specifically, is there an ideal combination of quota types and facilitating mechanisms that leads to greater female representation in parliament? This research uses a comprehensive dataset covering 186 countries in 2021 to provide a global landscape of the gender quota types and their facilitating mechanisms. Employing the OLS regression, we identified positive associations b…

State-Business Relations in Flux: Capturing the Structural Power of Business in South Korea's Green Industrial Policy
Getting state–business relations "right" is considered to have been at the heart of the East Asian developmental states and their industrial success in the twentieth century. Given that the "right" state–business relations are an historically contingent outcome that emerges under a particular political and economic order, this article asks what is the emerging nature of their state–business relations in the twenty-first century? And, how is this …
The Political Economy of the Middle Income Trap: The Challenges of Advancing Innovation Capabilities in Latin America, Asia and Beyond
Building on the middle-income trap literature where contexts of time and location matter, the articles in this special section adopt a ‘political economy of development’ approach to the problem of the middle-income trap. The papers employ different analytical approaches and have different entry points into unpacking the complex economic, social, and technical processes that advance productive capabilities. But they share a common set of assumptio…
Towards middle-range theory building in development research: Comparative (historical) institutional analysis of institutional transplantation
The development studies community needs to work towards building cumulative knowledge that lies between all-encompassing universal truths that leads to a ‘one solution fits all’ approach, on the one hand, and empirically rich atheoretical context-specific details, on the other. Drawing on the comparative capitalism research, which operates at the ‘middle-range’, the article demonstrates the usefulness of comparative (historical) institutional ana…
Institutional complementarity between corporate governance and Corporate Social Responsibility: A Comparative Institutional Analysis of Three Capitalisms
The question of why and how firms’ approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) differs across countries is one that can only be adequately addressed by giving a strong theoretical underpinning to research on comparative CSR. To this end, drawing on institutional theory and the institutionalist arguments of the comparative capitalism literature, we identify the mechanism by which national institutional arrangements influence CSR. We do this …
The government of self-regulation: On the Comparative Dynamics of Corporate Social Responsibility
This paper explores the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and government. CSR is often viewed as self-regulation, devoid of government. We attribute the scholarly neglect of the variety of CSR-government relations to the inadequate attention paid to the important differences in the way in which CSR has 'travelled' (or diffused), and has been mediated by the national governance systems, and the insufficient emphasis given …
Globalisation and Institutional Change in the State-Led Model: The Case of Corporate Governance in South Korea
This article explores the homogenising pressures of globalisation and institutional change in the state-led model of capitalism, within the purview of the 'varieties of capitalism' literature. In light of the observation that the national political economies which are the exemplars of the state-led model have undergone a more fundamental change towards the liberal market model than the other non-liberal variant (namely, the coordinated market mod…
