“…Norwegian society up until the 1970s was mainly a fishing and farming society, and the prevailing environmental ideology was that nature was a resource to be exploited at will, even if being managed (Iacono 2019). There is a strong political will to keep the remote areas of the country populated, and agriculture, for example, aquafarming, is subsidized to sustain these rural communities.…”

While scholars of state crime and organized crime have frequently explored the intersection of these fields with green criminology, for the most part they have not brought the two together as organized state criminality as a means to explore environmental destruction. Of the few explorations of organized state green crime that do exist, most do not embrace a non-speciesist perspective. In this article, we develop a non-speciesist theory of organized state green crime to explain the Norwegian state-licensed killing of wolves, a phenomenon that we analyze through the use of the concept ideological inertia. Our main argument is that the underlying cultural, political and economic interests that were prioritized up to the 1970s in Norway continue to have a counteracting effect on the protection of large carnivores, which the country committed to as a signatory to the Bern Convention.

“…8 Norway was and is still one of the world's largest exporters of fish and is the largest exporter of aquafarmed salmon (Solvoll et al 2020). And while today Norway's economy is dominated by its oil industry (Iacono 2019), the environmentally harmful aquafarming industry is also important economically.…”

“…The natural resource windfalls in Norway, an oil-endowed nation, have rewarded the populace there at levels comparable to the benefits accruing to citizens of the GCC oil nations (Bank et al, 2014). The resource revenues create educational benefits for the citizens and internationalization benefits for the firms (Iacono, 2019), which must look outward for market growth. For a small country or economyor for any firm aspiring to global markets or rapidly realizing it is already on a global stagethe cultivation of multiculturalism becomes more compelling.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the influence and advantages of leadership multiculturalism on global strategy development through cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBA) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) from emerging market multinational companies (EMNCs) expanding into emerged markets. The key contribution of asymmetric multiculturalism is a novel finding based on inductive research. We fill a gap by further linking business leader characteristics and corporate strategic actions and examining how multicultural business leaders from emerging markets can be highly effective at CBA and CSR.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on in-depth interviews, observations and documentary evidence analyzed with iterative coding, construct definition and thematic development to understand how leadership multiculturalism affects CBA and CSR in an EMNC over time.FindingsThe new construct of leadership asymmetric multiculturalism describes strategic advantages accruing to leaders from developing markets who are culturally fluent in both emerging and emerged market milieus. The construct contributes to emergent research on the rise of multicultural leaders and their strategic advantages and delineates a pathway toward identifying advantages of emerging over emerged market business leaders.Research limitations/implicationsThe research addresses specific CBA and CSR strategies within one emerging market region and EMNC. Future research should further articulate and validate the key construct of asymmetric multiculturalism, further examine its sources, draw more explicit comparisons with data from emerged market leaders, and explore the applicability of these findings to strategic actions and advantages in both emerging and emerged markets.Practical implicationsEmerging market corporate leaders should identify and develop pertinent aspects of their own asymmetric multiculturalism in enacting CBA and CSR strategy with respect to EMNCs and firms from developed markets. Emerged market leaders should become more aware of and cultivate their own multiculturalism.Social implicationsAsymmetric multiculturalism can be accompanied by heightened awareness of global citizenship — including codes of ethics, environmental challenges, community outreach and fair labor practices — which, in tandem with CBA, can strengthen emerging market firms’ performance and reinforce their global stature and reputation.Originality/valueAsymmetric multiculturalism is a new explanatory construct in the sociological, economic and management disciplines. Emerging markets corporate leaders utilize their multicultural competence to accelerate global CBA and CSR activity and advance strategic opportunities for their firms. The identification of advantages deriving from emerging market leadership capabilities is an unusual finding given the more typical emphasis on the privileges of emerged market leaders and firms.

Scalar Politics and Network Relations in the Governance of Highly Skilled Migration

Recently, migration scholars have started to examine the roles of nonstate actors in migration governance. This is also the case in highly skilled migration, as they try to shape local and national migration policies to attract and retain global talent. This article brings together literatures on scalar politics and policy networks to investigate the roles of nonstate actors in highly skilled migration governance in Norway's petroleum industry. The article makes three arguments. First, national state actors have clearly delineated the spheres of influence in highly skilled migration policymaking. These boundary-setting practices ensure that the state remains in charge of key domains related to international migration and employment. Second, place shapes the (re)scaling and networking practices of public and nonstate actors. Third, new, nonstate actors have emerged that transcend scalar hierarchies through public-private partnerships. The most influential state actors, however, refrain from these alliances to remain neutral in politically charged issues.
