Abstract
Arguably, standardization is a key concept in contemporary global society. Not only has standardization facilitated worldwide trade of goods and services, but it has also made people amenable to similar work situations and to the production and consumption of similar products and similar information across countries. Harsh regional and national migration policies negate these effects of globalization and reflect instead a – unrealistic – managerial ideal of order. It is suggested that legislators who seek to transform states into nation states mistake states for organizations. They take an instrumental approach to citizens and migrants and see the declaration of human rights as an insignificant mission statement.

AbstractWhy do firms demand antidumping protectionism? Contemporary literature highlights a plethora of causal mechanisms within the data-generating process, including retaliatory motives, exchange rate appreciations, business cycles, and deindustrialization. I argue that countries that are economically integrated into global markets should be associated with less demand for antidumping trade remedies. In particular, countries with higher levels of trade and financial flows should receive fewer petitions for antidumping trade remedies from firms overall, ceteris paribus. I test this theoretical argument with a series of de facto globalization indicators collected from thirty-three countries between 1978 and 2022, finding support for these arguments.

The article outlines the role and significance of the myth in the modern world, the nature of the political mythological image. According to the author, the key political myths in the modern world are: freedom, democracy, globalization. It is noted that the nature of the political mythological image is dialectical: it is universal, because the myth is focused on the search for a common, unified, deep-objective ontological basis, and at the same time is unique, due to the filling of the image with meanings and meanings, born by the originality of the political life of certain civilizations and national cultures.

I was recently invited to contribute a paper to a special issue on the legacy of Che Guevara, published by Globalizations. As a feminist working at the intersection of international security and global political economy, I wanted to use the opportunity to seriously engage with Che's normative contribution to theories of resistance. The call prompted me to think about the ethics of feminist anti-militarism and whether my feminism left room for support for the type of revolutionary violence we associate with Che.
The post Foco Feminism?: Rethinking the Ethics of Feminist Anti-Militarism appeared first on Progress in Political Economy (PPE).

Globalization and the development of digital technologies have led to a fundamental change in the music industry in all countries of the world. The traditional closed model of music commerce, in which the record companies played the leading role, has changed to an open innovative form, where the music artist could directly interact with the listener and distribute the product of his work through appropriate Internet services and special platforms. This article aims to study the evolutionary path of development of the music industry from the point of view of the comprehensive introduction of open innovations, social and academic influence, and commercialization.

AbstractThis paper asks whether history should change the way in which economists and economic historians think about populism. We use Müller's definition, according to which populism is 'an exclusionary form of identity politics, which is why it poses a threat to democracy'. We make three historical arguments. First, late‐nineteenth‐century US Populists were not populist. Second, there is no necessary relationship between populism and anti‐globalization sentiment. Third, economists have sometimes been on the wrong side of important policy debates involving opponents rightly or wrongly described as populist. History encourages us to avoid an overly simplistic view of populism and its correlates.

Abstract
This paper addresses the resilience demonstrated by the international system when confronted by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The author argues that this resilience might not be sustainable and that in the mid-term perspective we might observe some explicit disintegration in the system that affects multilateral institutions, international public law, and the global governance at large. Four independent variables are important in shaping the future world order: the outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian and the Russian-Western confrontation, the dynamics of the US-China relations, the sustainability of Western cohesion, and the prospects for a new cycle of globalization.

Information directly acts as a resource that has a special economic value in the conditions of the market economy and the globalization of economic relations. Moreover, the digitalization of the social sphere is impossible without applying the principles of systems thinking. The goal of the article is to determine how the use of special software and the transition from a district orientation to an extraterritorial principle enables digitalization of the social sphere and transfer the majority of services to the online environment, thereby increasing the speed of providing services related to personal appeals of citizens by social security workers.

Islamic civilization has experienced several periods, where in each period it always shows the values of Islamic universalism in various aspects of life which can be a lesson for Muslims in the current era of globalization. The principles of government developed by the Prophet were based on verses of the Qur'an such as the principle of equality (Al-Musâwa), the principle of independence (Al-Hurriyyah), the principle of plurality (Taaddudiyah). These principles were later developed to become the principles of nation and state that we know today. The universalism of this principle can not only be developed in Islamic countries but also non-Muslim countries.

Today, the issue of risks is given great importance, which is associated with an increase in their role due to the processes of globalization. Their main feature is that they penetrate into completely different spheres of public life, creating total uncertainty. In addition, they are different from the dangers of pre-industrial society, which were local in nature and did not pose such threats to humanity. In connection with the global spread of modern risks, the directions of their research are constantly expanding, and the methodological apparatus is being improved. Their analysis occupies an important part in the decision-making process, including in political activity.

The progressing globalization, the ease of movement, and the pace of information flow undoubtedly intensified the threat of terrorism, which is an important social issue. One of the crucial instruments in combating terrorist activity is counteracting its financing. The article analyzes the crime of financing terrorism, which has been defined in Art. 165a of the Polish Criminal Code. An attempt will be made to answer the question whether the legislative measures taken in the above-mentioned field are purposeful, necessary, and justified. The article also presents the genesis of the current legal regulations aimed at counteracting the financing of terrorism in the Polish Penal Code.

In today's world, globalization has developed well, and it is in a potential and relatively stable state in both its depth and breadth. Building cultural confidence while strengthening cultural communication is an important issue facing every part of the world at present. Furthermore, the path of cultural communication is not limited to the cultural level itself but permeates all aspects of social life. Chinese cuisine has a long history and is well-known all over the world. This paper studies the spread of Chinese cuisine Lao Gan Ma to Australia, aiming to explore its cultural core through the analysis of the trade path of products.

AbstractOver the past one and a half centuries, urbanization has coincided with industrialization and globalization. The business as usual mode of urban development has proven unsustainable, and the consensus of developing new paradigms toward more sustainable trajectories has been reached. This paper reviews and identifies the most prominent forms of sustainable urban development, encompassing theories of urban frameworks, major definitions and concepts and historical developments in the East Asian context. Three major trends are assessed, including garden cities (and eco‐cities), low‐carbon cities and smart cities, which identify each main phase of sustainable urbanization in the East Asian context.

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has changed the world of work. But global trade is still recognized as an essential area of business, and maritime transport, being an engine of globalization, cannot be paused. Since the onset of the pandemic, few governments have allowed seafarers – who transport more than 90 per cent of global commodities – to leave their ships and return home. The travel restrictions related to COVID‐19 have led to a crisis of occupational safety and health (OSH) at sea. Drawing on 29 interviews, this article explores the OSH challenges faced by international seafarers during the pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to identify innovative risks accompanying the process of introduction of technological innovations by domestic business entities. In the course of this work, we characterized the essence of innovation risks, assessed their role in the development of entrepreneurship, and analyzed the development of Russian business in the conditions of the sanctions impact of the world economy. The scientific novelty of the study consists in identifying a completely new category of innovation risks – external, combining market, technological and geo-economic factors. These are the risks emerging in the conditions of simultaneous globalization of the world economy and its stagnation.
