Greetings:  I am pleased to share the contents of Journal of World Business, Volume 53, Issue 1.  The issue presents a special issue on Multinational Enterprises and Sustainable Development in the Extractive and Natural Resource Sectors.  This topic, which reflects JWB’s commitment to phenomenon-based research, has obviously emerged as an important one but has received relatively scant treatment in the management and IB area.  The Special Issue contains six articles that emerged after a rigorous review process, a commentary, and a superb introductory article by the SI editors.  I know you will find this SI to be stimulating reading.   Best regards, Jonathan
