“…Civil Police Force: In Gaza, the civil police force was first developed after the 2007 takeover of Gaza by Hamas. In 2007, the security forces on PA's payroll were ordered not to report to work, which led to an immediate collapse of the security sector (Berti 2016). The new force was rapidly made up of members of the armed wings of Hamas and the Popular Resistance Committees (PRCs), as well as members of smaller armed factions in Gaza.…”

“…'the tensions inherent within Hamas's quest to be an effective security provider and a "resistance movement" reflect the broader struggle between governance and rebellion and between the competing needs of political accommodation and military struggle faced by non-state armed providers of governance' (Berti 2016(Berti , p. 1070. The PA and international organizations have condemned protection strategies and practices under Hamas.…”

"Throughout the seventh decade of the sixteenth century, the border regions located in north‑western Transylvania were disputed between Ferdinand of Habsburg and John Sigismund Szapolyai. The actual stake of this conflict was, in fact, the Crown of St. Stephen, claimed by both dynasties, as ‘true heirs’ of the medieval kings of Hungary. Despite being already treated by the Hungarian and Romanian historiographies, there is also a lesser‑known aspect of these conflicts: the involvement of the Transylvanian Saxons in John Sigismund Szapolyai’s war efforts in the Partes Hungariae. The unpublished and underused account books of the Transylvanian‑Saxon University and those of Sibiu and the Seven Seats dating from the mentioned period reveal exciting data on the topic, which I aim to analyze in the present paper. According to these sources, the Transylvanian‑Saxon University hired infantry handgunners, also known as trabanten, who participated in the north‑western campaigns of John Sigismund Szapolyai between 1561 and 1568. This analysis is also an excellent opportunity to emphasize the transformations that t"

“…This distinction opens up for the investigation of questions that are central to understanding businesssociety relations and their governance. These include (a) how state actors, for deep-seated historical, economic, and political reasons, are generally limited if not structurally constrained in terms of setting and enforcing rules, and providing collective goods; nor do they (fully) control the monopoly of the use of force, and (b) how non-state actors, including businesses, NGOs, international organizations, but also violent non-state actors (rebel groups, war lords, criminal networks) can make collectively binding rules and act as providers of collective goods (Berti & Gutiérrez, 2016;Cammett, 2014;Felbab-Brown et al, 2018;Jo, 2015;Magaloni et al, 2020;Reno, 2010;Roy, 2011). In some cases, violent non-state actors even engage in full-scale governance in a given territory ("rebelocracy"), while in other cases they provide and maintain security, but leave broader rulemaking and service provision to others ("aliocracy," see Arjona, 2015Arjona, , 2016.…”

Governance and Business-Society Relations in Areas of Limited Statehood: An Introduction

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this introductory article we explore the relationship between statehood and governance, examining in more detail how non-state actors like MNCs, international NGOs, and indigenous authorities, often under conditions of extreme economic scarcity, ethnic diversity, social inequality and violence, take part in the making of rules and the provision of collective goods. Conceptually, we focus on the literature on Areas of Limited Statehood and discuss its usefulness in exploring how business-society relations are governed in the global South, and beyond. Building on insights from this literature, among others, the four articles included in this special issue provide rich illustrations and critical reflections on the multiple, complex and often ambiguous roles of state and non-state actors operating in contemporary Syria, Nigeria, India and Palestine, with implications for conventional understandings of CSR, stakeholders, and related conceptualizations.
