“…Similar to our results, most of these studies do not define EEs, but some outline specific characteristics of such economies (e.g., Becker-Ritterspach et al , 2019). We also found examples of studies that used data from countries that are members of the OECD, like Slovenia (Márquez-Ramos, 2021), being used to draw conclusions about EEs. However, in this case, the examined data was from before Slovenia joined the OECD.…”

Purpose Over the past few decades, examinations of emerging economies (EEs) have received increasing attention in international business (IB) research. This article takes a critical stance on some of the re-occurring shortcomings of that research. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a critical literature review of 493 articles on EEs that have been published in five top-tier IB academic journals in the period 2010–2020. True to the nature of a critical literature review, the authors judge and question some of the practices that have impeded knowledge accumulation. Findings The authors found a recurring lack of definitional clarity and contextualization, as well as overgeneralized inferences from findings. The authors provide recommendations on how to address these weaknesses and a checklist to guide future IB research on EEs. Originality/value The authors question and problematize what they see as dominant but undesirable practices when conducting EE research. The actionable directions for addressing uncovered issues and checklist to guide future research in this area that the authors offer are rather bold and unambiguous.

“…The model of neoliberal capitalism that developed in Germany both prior to, and following, the 2008 global economic crisis is perhaps best known for its relatively large focus on the manufacturing sector, with exports especially as an important source of growth. This has been facilitated by the expansion of a low-paid, flexible section of the labour market, in part in an attempt to maintain global price competitiveness for exports (Márquez-Ramos 2018). This model of accumulation has seen a continual process of restructuring of the wage–labour nexus, putting pressure upon low and intermediate-skilled workers and immigrants, who have experienced a considerable rise in the risk of being in in-work poverty (Brülle et al 2019).…”

This article explores the terrain of social conflict as it developed across advanced capitalist democracies throughout the ‘age of austerity’ that followed the global economic crisis. It shows how a (broadly defined) working class mobilised in different ways in different capitalist contexts, contesting the institutional forms (and the crises that emerged from them) which constitute each particular model of capitalism. Considered this way, we are able to conceptualise and explain the forms of working-class mobilisation that have emerged in opposition to contemporary neoliberalism. In doing so, we go beyond a narrow focus on workplace-focused or trade-union-led forms of working-class mobilisation, highlighting the continuing contestation of neoliberal capitalism. Drawing on a protest event analysis of 1,167 protest events in five countries (Spain, Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom), and developing a Régulation Theory approach to the study of protest/social movements, we provide an overview of the most visible patterns of social contestation in each national neoliberal capitalist context, tracing links to the institutional configurations that constitute those national models of capitalism. While there exists no direct (linear) process of causality between the model of neoliberal capitalism and the forms of mobilised dissent witnessed, nevertheless we are able to clearly trace the different pressures of capital accumulation that have given rise to the protest/social movements identified in each case, thereby allowing us to gain a better insight into both each particular model of capitalism and the forms of dissent that constitute it.
