Purpose This paper aims to introduce economic history as a new stream of international business (IB) research. It offers a long-term perspective on how the IB has evolved over time, focussing on the interplay between multinational enterprise and the nation state. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses existing scholarly literature on international economic history to develop eight key propositions regarding the interface between the politics and economics of foreign direct investment (FDI). Findings There is a rivalry between nation states and competition between firms. These two forms of conflict interact. Nations use their leading firms as instruments of international policy while leading firms rely on political and financial support from home nations. Using historical evidence and cross-country comparisons, the paper explains has the scale and scope in IB activity have changed dramatically over time. Research limitations/implications There is scope for more detailed historical studies on national policies towards inward and outward FDI. Practical implications It is important to see the recent international economic policies of China in a long-run historical perspective and to appreciate the similarities between its policies and those of other countries in the past. Social implications Many of the potential economic gains generated by FDI may be lost through an excessive commitment of resources to the pursuit of military power as a foundation for international political power. Originality/value This paper challenges IB researchers to widen their horizons.

“…Margery Kempe's son famously spent so much time on the continent that his writing was "neithyr good Englysch ne Dewch"-if he was indeed her first scribe and the initial manuscript was not copied by his wife from Gdansk. The Flemmings Johns Asgers, father (also mayor of Norwich in 1426) and son, whose tenement was occupied by one of the city's beguinages, held dual English-Flemish "citizenship" and must have been fluent in both languages (Tanner 1984, p. 65; on aliens in late-medieval England in general see Ormrod et al 2017). It is unclear how much exactly the exiled English nuns, whose main languages of communication were French and Latin and who did not necessarily know Middle English, actually interfered with Julian's own narrative while copying it, but the texts we now have are linguistically challenging-up to the point of suspecting that Julian had direct access to Continental devotional writings, with Flemish, Dutch, or French being the main suspects (see Dutton's discussion of Julian's use of 'mean' in Dutton 2008, pp.…”

The article traces potential visual sources of Julian of Norwich’s (1343–after 1416) Revelations or Showings, suggesting that many of them come from familiar everyday devotional objects such as Psalters, Books of Hours, or rosary beads. It attempts to approach Julian’s text from the perspective of neuromedievalism, combining more familiar textual analysis with some recent findings in clinical psychology and neuroscience. By doing so, the essay emphasizes the embodied nature of Julian’s visions and devotions as opposed to the more apophatic approach expected from a mystic.

“…62 The waning years of the century coincided with a general economic contraction in England, which made strangers searching for work in the metropolitan area a subject of concern and, sometimes, hostility from their English-born peers. 63 The years around 1500 were marked both by heightened friction between immigrant artisans and English workers, and by some creativity on the part of the aliens in working around the structures by which London citizens and their guilds tried to control strangers' labour.…”
