Aims and scope of the special issue
This special issue seeks to move bevond affirmations that "history matters" and flesh out the was in which historical approaches matter to IB research in terms of theory, method, and novel perspectives. Here, we
seek contributions that go beyond just analyzing data collected over time (such as survey data collection repeated after a certain number of years) in favour of studies that include the rich historical context into their analysis and theorizing. Historical
approaches have the potential to offer new perspectives on the complex, multi-level, and contextually specific nature of multinational activities and the evolution of the global economy. We are particularly interested in contributions that can connect historical
approaches with IB debates, and which draw on ongoing conversations in other disciplines and fields. We are interested in both quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as methodological and conceptual/theoretical contributions. IB scholars who use
historical approaches, as well as business and management historians who engage deeply with IB theories, are welcome to submit to the special issue.
Possible examples of research topics that would be suitable for inclusion in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to): Plurality of historical approaches, Historical theories of IB, Long Run Change Processes,
Historical processes in IB and the role of time, History as a method for IB researchers, Historical perspectives on the construction of national and cultural boundaries, and Institutions in IB.
