Sovereignty@Bay: Globalization, Multinational Enterprise, and the International Political System
Abstract: Document Type Journal Article Date of this Version 2009 Publication Source The Oxford Handbook of International Business (2 ed.) DOI 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199234257.003.0007 Abstract This article is concerned with only one aspect of the vast literature on MNE–state relations: the impact of the MNE on sovereignty, autonomy, and control. It argues that the mainstream literature of the sovereignty at bay era did not predict the end of the nation-state or conclude that sovereignty is critically compromised either in theory or practice. In fact, while the terms ‘sovereignty’, autonomy', and ‘control’ appear frequently in these discussions, they are rarely defined or even used precisely. At the end of the day MNEs are international or cross-border entities which are of the existing inter-state system firmly rooted in national territorial jurisdiction. The problems posed by the traditional MNE for both states and the inter-state system tend to involve issues of jurisdictional asymmetry, jurisdictional overlap and control, rather than sovereignty in its formal sense. The hierarchical or Fordist structure of the traditional MNE reinforces the core values of the modern international political system: state sovereignty and mutually exclusive territoriality.

Different paths to power: The rise of Brazil, India and China at the World Trade Organization

The Foreign Imposition of Domestic Institutions
TL;DR: This paper identified 198 cases of forcible domestic institutional promotion, the most costly form of such interventions, between 1555 and 2000, and found that the most intensive periods of promotion coincide with high transnational ideological tension and high international insecurity.

Falsification and the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes
TL;DR: For centuries knowledge meant proven knowledge, proven either by the power of the intellect or by the evidence of the senses as discussed by the authors. But the notion of proven knowledge was questioned by the sceptics more than two thousand years ago; but they were browbeaten into confusion by the glory of Newtonian physics.
