“…), 2010) and has been good in explaining fragmentation as a phenomenon (Isailovic et al, 2013). This perspective has been widely used in socio science studies to explore the critical interplay between political and socio-environmental governance issues, for example, in Maslow and Nakamura (2008); Ide (2016) and Jung (2019).…”

Regional and global ocean governance share complex, co-evolutionary histories in which both regimes – among others – interacted with and used the ocean and resources therein to consolidate, expand, and express power. Simultaneously, regional and global ocean governance relations have changed continuously, particularly when we are trying to understand their differences within the logic of regionalisation, regionalism, and globalisation. The paper is generally based on deductive reasoning and reflects scholarship in security studies, political science, international law, international relation, development studies, and African studies. It delves into the critical aspect of understanding the nexus/relationship between regional and global ocean governance in critical traditional and contemporary ocean policy domains, specifically from an African regional ocean governance standpoint. Ocean governance processes that are historically confronted by globalisation, multilateralism, and post-colonisation are confronted by the rise of regionalism, especially the need for nation-states and regions to respond to and manage traditional and emerging ocean challenges. Responses to these challenges by various actors, including states, economic blocks, private sector, financial institutions, and non-governmental organisations, development partners, etc., result in different forms of relationships that refocus regions’ activities toward globally defined ocean agendas. A review of different policy domains (including maritime security, environmental, economic, and socio-political governance) critical for regional ocean governance sets a robust background for understanding the contextual factors and concerns inherent in the regional-global ocean governance nexus. These outcomes, therefore, help us to arrive at a five-fold taxonomy of different types/degrees of linkages developed around the regional-global ocean governance relationship spectrum described as (1) discrete, (2) conflictual, (3) cooperative, (4) symmetric, and (5) ambiguous. Comparatively, experience and perspective from Africa are utilised to support raised arguments about these linkages. Furthermore, this spectrum allows for the diagnosis of the utilities and most prevalent arguments that regional governance’s effectiveness is directly related to the nature of the interaction between regional governance schemes and global governance; and vice-versa. This paper’s outcomes reveal how government, institutions, actors, and researchers address the relationship between regional and global ocean governance and generate a valuable way to think about current and future global and regional ocean governance direction while outlining some logical possibilities for an effective form of ocean governance.

“…Thirdly, constructivists see a critical role for individuals in globalization, and especially for the words, language and communication that actors use to make sense of the world and attribute meaning to their activities. Fourthly, constructivism sees a critical role for norms and identities in shaping international relations, especially in relation to promoting “the significance of mutual constitution of agents and structure, believing that intersubjective reality and meanings are paramount data to grasp the social world when these data are appropriately ‘contextualized’” (Jung, 2019, p. 3).…”

Purpose Drawing on Wendt’s (1995, 1999) thin constructivist approach to international relations this paper aims to critically examine how the measures taken by the Australian Government to protect the country from coronavirus (COVID-19) have prompted politicians and opinion-makers to mobilize globalizing and de-globalizing discourses towards divergent conceptualizations of national resilience. Design/methodology/approach The paper examines 172 Australian political and media articles, which focus on both COVID-19 and globalization/de-globalization published between February and June 2020. The data were imported to NVivo to enable in-depth thematic analysis. Findings The paper develops the concept of crisis protectionism to explain how COVID-19 has been mobilized in discourses aimed at accelerating selective de-globalization in Australia. Selective de-globalization is inductively theorized as involving material structures (i.e. border closures), ideational structures (i.e. national identity) and intersubjectivities (i.e. pre-existing inter-country antagonisms). Research limitations/implications The paper relies upon publicly available data about Australian discourses that relate to a unique globally disrupting extreme event. Practical implications Crisis protectionism and selective de-globalization are important to multinational enterprises (MNE) that operate in essential industry sectors (e.g. medical supply firms), rely upon open borders (e.g. the university sector) and for MNEs entering/operating in a host country experiencing antagonistic relationships with their home country. Originality/value The paper extends Witt’s (2019) political theorization of de-globalization towards a socialized theory of de-globalization. By rejecting liberal and realist explanations of the relationship between COVID-19 and de-globalization, this study highlights the importance and endogeneity of non-market risks and non-economic logic to international business and MNE strategy.

“…Segundo os seus pensadores, a "realidade" não possui uma estrutura definida, muito menos pode ser compreendida de forma independente da consciência humana. Significados, percepções e conhecimentos são relativos ao tempo, ao espaço e à maneira como são socialmente construídos -por meio das interações entre as pessoas presentes no dia a dia - (Cunliffe, 2010;Jung, 2019). O senso comum ganha para tais epistemologias status de conhecimento legítimo por se constituir dos relacionamentos e práticas cotidianas das pessoas.…”

Objetivos do estudo: o objetivo deste ensaio é refletir sobre o processo de construção do consumo nas redes sociais on-line, focando, em especial, nas relações entre usuários, digital influencers e mídias digitais. Metodologia/abordagem: Para o estudo das malhas de relações ocorridas nas redes sociais on-line, a perspectiva do construtivismo social foi utilizada. Distanciando-se dos paroxismos objetivistas e subjetivistas das correntes modernas, o construtivismo social confere um maior poder de explicação à formação das redes socais por se embasar em uma perspectiva intersubjetiva. Principais resultados: A cocriação dos atores e o intercâmbio perene de informações entre eles conferem às redes sociais uma formação de caráter polissêmico e participativo. Entretanto, essa relação acabou por proporcionar o surgimento de uma cultura de consumo imanente, concedendo ao marketing uma função de mediador na criação dos significados e sentidos sociais. Além de discorrer sobre a distinção entre o consumo físico tradicional e o virtual, um modelo de interação entre os atores das redes sociais é apresentado. Contribuições acadêmicas: A partir da reflexão sobre as interações entre os atores, é sugerido um modelo relacional de construção de redes virtuais que contribui para a literatura ao proporcionar uma forma integrada de entender o desenvolvimento das relações de cocriação das mídias sociais com base no construtivismo social. Contribuições práticas: São sugeridas novas agendas de pesquisa, evidenciando-se que o consumo em ambientes digitais possui diferenças marcantes em relação ao consumo físico tradicional. A contínua interação entre os seus atores garante a ubiquidade do processo de cocriação digital, trazendo efeitos práticos para a gestão de marketing e o consumo virtual.
