Call for Book Chapters
Book title: Emerging Markets and Sustainable Economy: Main Issues, Challenges
and Scenarios
Publisher: Routledge UK
Description
Globalisation has emerged as one of the most important phenomena in international business with several studies exploring the economic
significance of countries involved in international business. An increasing number of academic courses in subjects such as global business, international marketing and business as well as emerging markets have been combined with other disciplines having a
global focus. However, critical approaches evaluating the sustainability of the economic success factors in emerging markets, the positive scenarios that have ‘emerged’ out of ’emerging markets’, successful and ‘challenger’ firms or disruptive business models
finding traction in advanced economies, have not generated enough attention from academics.
Although success from emerging markets have been celebrated, sustainability of growth over time is still largely unanswered due to the
limitations of understanding institutional environments, environmental disruptions like climate change as well a societal transformations driving many of these emerging markets
This book aims to fill the void by developing an innovative approach that involves subject expertise from both practitioners in emerging
markets as well as academic contributors in a sector oriented approach that will tackle complex questions.
Using an in-depth case study approach, the book is expected to explore the nature of global business environment, the geopolitical dynamics
of the emerging markets including the role of institutions, institutional actors and non-institutional actors in driving sustainability. The editors hope that contributions will highlight challenges, breaking them down into sectorial challenges, geographical
fault lines and critical depth of analysis using real-world insights from practitioners in emerging markets.
While this is intended to be a research driven book with the bulk of contributions from academics of practitioners- turned academics, it
is expected to incorporate case studies and examples from real life businesses, some this may not fit in within existing literature organisational theory. In line with the traditional debate on the linkage of globalisation and global trade, the importance
of the South -South trade linkage specifically to the development of sustainable global value chains will be examined as well as new insights from global energy markets, the trade and renewable energy products and rise of new trade dynamics supported by the
economic growth of several emerging states.
Case-studies are expected to be between 1000-2000 words, while chapter-like contributions up to a maximum of 5000 words, references included.
