Abstract• Internationalisation processes have been a core interest of international business research since the seminal contribution by Johanson/Vahlne (1977).• The unique context of economic transition in CEE directs the attention to dynamic aspects of these processes, and to the interaction with changing environmental conditions.• This introductory paper reviews the contributions of recent CEE research, and this special issue in particular, to advancing our understanding of internationalisation processes. Key results• Research in this special issue advances the IP model by exploring concepts of "opportunity creation", "discovery", "emotions" and "subsidiary roles".• Future research on these concepts, as well as on the interaction of internationalisation processes of firms and their networks, may further enhance our understanding of internationalisation.

“…As motives of actions they are as important as, for example, instrumental rationality (Flam, 2002;1990). By taking on an emotion-focused, non-pathological perspective, it is possible to shed light on the general functions of emotions and their use in interactions during the process of migration, because:…”

The subject of this article deals with the manner in which emotions have so far been considered in sociological migration studies. Existing works focus primarily on emotions in a pathological or therapeutic way, so it has to be stated, that the often postulated emotional turn in social sciences has not yet fully reached the area of migration. So the valuable analytical potential of a perspective based on the sociology of emotions is not completely exploited because that would imply focusing on the general functions of emotions in contexts of migration. This article introduces interesting works which already deal with the carrying concepts of emotion work and emotional transnationality and suggests guidelines on how to broaden these analytical views in a non-pathological direction.

“…From this 'enlightened', modernist perspective, emotions were considered the antithesis of rationality, as exemplified by nineteenth-century crowd theory, which portrayed irrational, violent mobs, characterised by emotional 'contagion' and exaggerated sentiments (see Baker, 2012a). The 'emotional turn' marks a paradigm shift, with emotions no longer opposed to rationality, but rather conceived as constituent of procedural rationality, with collective emotions and action governed by the same goal-seeking activity that operates at an individual level (Flam, 2000), and even in the context of crowd behaviour and social movements (Flam and King, 2005). Understanding how emotions may structure action, bind and rupture the moral order of society is a key sociological task.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract: Sociologists have tended to take insufficient account of the importance of emotions to the social power of the institution of media, particularly as altered by the emergence of social media in the current media ecology. This paper compensates for this neglect by examining the effect of social media on the public reception of the 2011 Sepp Blatter racism scandal and other 'race-related' media scandals in the UK. In proposing media scandals' wider sociological significance regarding the dynamic, multi-accented relationships between emotions and power, it analyses how England's prevailing climate of 'postcolonial guilt' was reinforced and conveyed through social media networks.
