Local Network Neighbourhood Effects in Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Resilience
A growing literature examines the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) networks and economic development using measures of countries’ positions within the global investment system. While these studies provide valuable insights into the structure of international investment, they reveal little about how the configuration of countries’ immediate investment relationships influences development and resilience. This study addresses thi…
Public Procurement in Russia
This study examines public procurement in Russia’s construction sector, highlighting its deep entrenchment in corruption and state patronage. Based on 50 interviews with 27 business and state officials, we find that authorities enable corruption and tax evasion for self-enrichment and power consolidation. Contrary to claims that digitalisation curbs corruption in public procurement, we argue that state patronage sustains a cycle of illegal practi…
The evolution of the national discourse on Chinese mining in Ecuador
Ecuador’s Correa government promoted relations with China to advance a plurinational developmental agenda centred on a positive view of mining in support of social programmes, distinct from the negative associations of traditional oil extraction, which had long been an organising focus for social movements. This paper considers to what extent Ecuador’s promotion of Chinese mining actually presents an alternative to traditional extractivism. It ex…

Weighing Different Perspectives to Explain Civilian Casualties in Armed Conflict
The promise and perils of using big data in the study of corporate networks
Network data on connections between corporate actors and entities - for instance through co-ownership ties or elite social networks - are increasingly available to researchers interested in probing the many important questions related to the study of modern capitalism. Given the analytical challenges associated with the nature of the subject matter, variable data quality and other problems associated with currently available data on this scale, w…
Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Heterodox Economics
Social network analysis comprises a powerful set of techniques for quantifying, differentiating, and interpreting social interactions or relational data in general. This provides a means of interrogating assumptions of independent yet homogeneous actions and pay-offs in economic processes, a particular interest of heterodox approaches to economics. Contemporary applications include modelling opinion leadership among consumers, search and matching…
Reckless endangerment warfare
This article examines how military organizations that are generally committed to following the laws and customs of war exploit what the author terms 'the collateral damage exemption', by employing legally-sanctioned war-fighting strategies that result in significant numbers of civilian casualties. This exemption shields combatants from legal liability for 'incidental' or 'inadvertent' civilian losses and the destruction of civilian objects that m…
Be careful what you wish for
Most theories that seek to explain the relationship between major war and the creation of new political orders posit a direct link between the interests of the winning states and the type of order that emerges. We tend to assume that since most wars are fought for specific purposes and a defined goal, the aftermath of the conflict will reflect the interests and preferences of the winning parties. This article challenges this approach, arguing tha…
The Diffusion of Heterodox Economics
Heterodox economics is in part defined by exclusion from orthodox circles and there is an understandable tendency for heterodox economists to engage primarily with each other outside these circles. Yet the critique offered by heterodoxy speaks more widely. This study examines the diffusion of heterodox economic ideas beyond the immediate confines via an analysis of the citation of heterodox economic journals by other journals. The diffusion of he…
Research Quality Rankings of Heterodox Economic Journals in a Contested Discipline
This article argues that the discipline of economics consists of two subdisciplines: heterodox and mainstream economics. Being distinct bodies of knowledge, it is possible that the processes of building scientific knowledge are different enough so to generate distinctly different referencing and citation practices. Therefore, a specific impact contribution score is necessary for ranking heterodox journals in terms of their contribution to buildin…
Journal citation among heterodox economists 1995‐2007
Purpose This study aims to investigate the pattern among 17 heterodox economic journals over a prolonged period to provide evidence about the social dynamics among the group of researchers who publish in them and the extent to which they hold or develop a collective identity as heterodox economists. Design/methodology/approach Traditional approaches to citation analysis are extended by the use of techniques from social network analysis. In additi…

International Legal Consensus and the Control of Excess State Violence
The dramatic increase in the level of global governance through multilateral institutions is leading to changes in the theoretical underpinnings of international law and its role in contemporary world politics. In specific, well-defined areas of international law, states have begun to recognize the authority of international consensus over individual state consent as the foundation of legal obligation. Specifically, states have begun to develop a…

Creating Stability in the New Europe
The Two Faces of the United Nations
There is a tension within the United Nations between intergovernmentalism and transnationalism, two forces that encompass different sets of interests and reflect distinct constituencies. As an intergovernmental institution, the UN reflects the overlapping interests of its member states, particularly those on the Security Council. Major initiatives and policies are promoted by accredited delegations, all of whom represent their governments. As a t…
Productive and Unproductive Capital
New Zealand has gained considerable international attention for the neo-liberal economic reform programme it enacted from the mid-1980s; this programme has served as a model for similar reform elsewhere. Within the neoclassical framework of the reformers, the programme has produced many improvements to the economy. Such fundamental indicators as lower inflation, lower budget deficits and higher economic growth are cited as evidence of the improve…
The Paradox of Hegemony
There is an inherent tension between a dominant state's role as a hegemon and its role as a great power. Hegemons have the material capabilities to act unilaterally, yet they cannot remain hegemons if they do so at the expense of the system that they are trying to lead. Thus there is a contradiction between the propensity for a powerful state to take unilateral action in promoting its self-defined interest and its desire to maintain long-term sys…

The state and the nation
The international relations literature regularly embraces sovereignty as the primary constitutive rule of international organization. Theoretical traditions that agree on little else all seem to concur that the defining feature of the modern international system is the division of the world into sovereign states. Despite differences over the role of the state in international affairs, most scholars would accept John Ruggie's definition of soverei…
