The chapters are grouped into seven key thematic areas: development, Europe, globalization flows, industries and enterprises, migrant activism, perspectives on emigration and immigration and rules and law. The structure of the book offers readers the opportunity to delve deep into critical facets of globalization while at the same delivering a panoramic view of globalization. The multi-disciplinary approach that is the essence of the approach adopted in the book enhances considerably the coverage of the diverse aspects of the enactment of globalization. "Enacting Globalization" will be of significant educational value in terms of informing students and scholars alike on the enactment of globalization by providing them with deep insights and multiple perspectives on critical elements of the globalization process while at the same time offering learning on globalization in its full expanse

This book examines the drivers of regionalism and integration in both Europe and Asia and seeks to forge comparative perspectives between the two regions. Comprising contributions from scholars, analysts and policymakers, this volume explores and debates how and why regional bodies such as the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are formed and sustained. Furthermore, it examines the drivers of, and impediments to, regionalism and integration. The debates regarding what and who constitute drivers are presented in a fresh, thematic and comprehensive manner. Leadership and core states are also critically examined, whilst material, ideational and normative factors are all assessed comparatively. Significantly, in light of the global financial crisis, the book considers the role of crisis as a driver of regionalism and integration.

ABSTRACTSince the turn of the 21st century, the emergence of Chinese outbound investment has been one of the most prominent features of globalization. Its trajectory has been notable both for its speed and scale and for its global dispersion. Since the early 2000s, Chinese outbound investment has grown rapidly from a very low base that predominately involved South–South flows, expanding into the global North. The idiosyncratic nature of Chinese investment has generated diverse responses over time from the countries of the developed world. The policy dilemmas that Chinese investment creates for the latter economies is manifest in their fragmented reactions and in the degree of contestation around policy responses. In the light of the recent increasing backlash towards investment by Chinese multinational corporations (MNCs) in much of the developed world, this article introduces a dynamic analytical framework that is able to assess the response to investment by Chinese MNCs in Europe, and examines the implications of that response for China and its corporations. By doing so, this article contributes to the debate on Chinese globalization and further elaborates on the so‐called 'China anxiety' issue.

Theoretical contributions exploring service value in business-to-business (B2B) settings have significantly lagged those that consider goods markets and business-to-consumer (B2C) contexts. To address this gap, this article focuses on the interfirm relationship as the fulcrum through which service value is created and exchanged. Specifically, we analyze how relationship value is assessed by actors and their organizations over the lifetimes of service engagements. Through in-depth interviews with 38 executives representing customer and provider firms, we study three cases with durations ranging between 9 and 11 years. We develop a model demonstrating value assessment to be a dynamic, socially constructed, and multilevel phenomenon, in which structured institutional bodies and unstructured collectives within firms display different priorities in their assessments. The model also demonstrates the critical role of relationship leaders in influencing these positions and negotiating consensus. Our analysis reveals value assessments to be both a sustenance for, and an output from, B2B service relationships. We contribute to knowledge and theory of relationship value and offer managerial actions to promote improvement in assessments of this value in B2B services settings.

Despite the global financial and economic crises and a sharp downturn in the domestic economy between 2008 and 2009, Ireland managed to attract large inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2010. Inward FDI (IFDI) flows in 2010 were at a similar level to those in 2009, the second highest in Ireland's FDI history. However in 2011, there was a decline in such flows. While Ireland's economy has been greatly affected by the global crisis, Irish government initiatives have further fostered the country's attractiveness as an investment location for the world's firms. All indications are that Ireland's IFDI performance will continue to surpass that of most countries into the near future.

Ireland has one of the highest ratios of inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) stock to gross domestic product (GDP) among the OECD countries. The surge in IFDI from the 1990s onwards is regarded as one of the factors that contributed to the "Celtic Tiger" era of rapid economic growth, rising living standards and full employment. However, stocks of IFDI fell in four of the six years from 2004 to 2009, largely due to outflows of capital from foreign affiliates in Ireland to their parent companies abroad. More recent data show an increase in IFDI stock in 2009, which continued into the first quarter of 2010. This rise is in large part due to the scale of reinvested earnings on the part of foreign affiliates in Ireland and the growing success in attracting knowledge intensive investment, while the lowering of the cost base since the advent of the crisis in Ireland has enhanced its attractiveness as an investment location. Changes in business taxation that have taken effect in 2010 have been designed to improve Ireland's attractiveness to knowledge intensive industries and as a location for company regional headquarters. The Irish Government is committed to maintaining the low rate of corporate taxation of 12.5%. While the current crisis has had the paradoxical effect of increasing Ireland's attractiveness as a location for FDI, future FDI prospects will also be enhanced by Ireland demonstrating a capacity to overcome its present difficulties.
