Dear Colleagues, I am presently editing a book entitled “Handbook on the Geopolitics of Business.” As you know, geopolitics – the intersect of economics, politics, and geographical developments – impacts global corporations in profound ways. There is a need to understand how companies can best manage these contemporary geopolitical dynamics. The book aims to bring together leading thinkers on the subject from around the world. It is backed by a major international publisher, and is geared to be the reference book on the subject. I would like to invite you to submit a chapter proposal. Each chapter would be about 10 pages (roughly 4,500 words) and have a one year timeline for completion. All submitted work must be original and not previously published. Each chapter will feature a geopolitical issue, and will discuss its impact on the global corporation. Potential subjects include : Regional economic integration International trade developments International organizations (IMF, World Bank, etc) and their policies Emergence of BRIC Oil prices Terrorism and war Corruption and crime Geopolitical concepts and cases Geopolitical risk Political divide and conflict Location and the implications of geography Financial crisis Global issues (environment, energy, health, labor supply, resource utilization etc) Industry transformations (transportation, tourism, insurance, telecom, IT etc) Internet and cybersecurity Outsourcing/Offshoring Global operations management Logistics and supply chain Global governance Corporate citizenship Geopolitics and strategy Geopolitics and management Other relevant topics are welcome. Should this be of interest, please submit the following : 1) chapter title with abstract, 2) brief bio with full contact information, and 3) sample of recent published work.
