“…This begins with basic questions of the appropriate definition of modern slavery, which has been explored in some depth in the law literature. Allain (2009), for example, has argued that contemporary interpretations of modern slavery in international law should be predicated on the 1926 League of Nations definition of slavery as constituting an exercise of "any or all of the powers attached to the right of ownership" over somebody. As he argues, this definition marks a shift from de jure slavery based on legal ownership to de facto slavery based on practices of control over others without a formal legal title.…”

Modern Slavery in Business: The Sad and Sorry State of a Non-Field

“Modern slavery,” a term used to describe severe forms of labor exploitation, is beginning to spark growing interest within business and society research. As a novel phenomenon, it offers potential for innovative theoretical and empirical pathways to a range of business and management research questions. And yet, development into what we might call a “field” of modern slavery research in business and management remains significantly, and disappointingly, underdeveloped. To explore this, we elaborate on the developments to date, the potential drawbacks, and the possible future deviations that might evolve within six subdisciplinary areas of business and management. We also examine the value that nonmanagement disciplines can bring to research on modern slavery and business, examining the connections, critiques, and catalysts evident in research from political science, law, and history. These, we suggest, offer significant potential for building toward a more substantial subfield of research.

Este artículo revisa la historiografía sobre la Sociedad de Naciones desde un período de relativo olvido, tras el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta la expansión del interés por la organización iniciada en la década de 1990 y que continúa en el presente. El trabajo repasa los temas e interpretaciones que han interesado a los historiadores y las razones que explican la falta de interés durante la Guerra Fría y la explosión de publicaciones en los últimos años. El final del conflicto bipolar, el debate sobre la llamada globalización y las transformaciones en el campo historiográfico con el fuerte impacto de las aproximaciones globales y transnacionales y la renovación de la historia imperial explican en gran medida el creciente interés de los historiadores por la Sociedad de Naciones. Por último, el artículo se plantea brevemente la posible continuidad del boom historiográfico sobre la organización internacional.

“…Modern slavery is typically defined as “the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised” (1926 League of Nations Slavery Convention cited in Allain, , p. 240). This definition acknowledges that modern slavery is premised on the exercise of specific powers rather than legal ownership (Crane, ), and includes conditions where individuals work under threat of mental and physical abuse, debt bondage, withholding of wages, and situations where the employer retains the passports or identity documents of migrant workers (ILO, ).…”

A New Methodology for Supply Chain Management: Discourse Analysis and its Potential for Theoretical Advancement

This paper responds to recent calls for methodological diversification and "in-house" theory development within the discipline of SCM, by introducing discourse analysis to readers of the Journal of Supply Chain Management. One of the merits of discourse analysis is the way in which it "problematizes" taken-for-granted aspects of organizational life, including supply chains, to show that what we assume to be natural, inevitable and beneficial is rarely quite so straightforward as it may seem. In addition, through the way in which it emphasizes the interrogation of meaning, discourse analysis can broaden conceptualizations of the supply chain to include actors that have previously been overlooked, such as employees, workers, not-for-profit organizations, regulators, consumers, and the media. Using examples that are familiar to SCM researchers-the discourses of lean, sustainability, modern slavery, and big data-we illustrate how discourse analysis can help to theorize SCM phenomena by problematizing established meanings and revealing how they reproduce power relations among actors. We then show how insights from discourse analysis can complement existing theories of the supply chain and, in so doing, potentially rejuvenate the field of SCM by inspiring novel theory development, opening up different empirical settings, and promoting new ways of analyzing qualitative data.
