“…A considerable literature, for example, explains the formation of 'business groups' as preferred organisational forms in emerging markets as one such response mechanism (Khanna and Yafeh 2007) summarise this extensive literature). The most successful THOFCs, by contrast, are recognised for their well-developed legal and financial systems, particularly those havens that also act as offshore financial centres (OFCs) (Dharmapala and Hines 2009;Rose and Spiegel 2007;Roberts 1995). The drive for offshore incorporation and FDI flows may, therefore, be driven not only by domestic capital market imperfections and the needs of EMNEs to augment their existing capital structure, but also by access to a more favourable institutional environment.…”

The rise of multinational enterprises from emerging countries (EMNEs) poses an important test for theories of the multinational enterprise such as internalisation theory. It has been contended that new phenomena need new theory. This paper proposes that internalisation theory is appropriate to analyse EMNEs. This paper examines four approaches to EMNEs-international investment strategies, domestic market imperfections, international corporate networks and domestic institutions-and three case studies-Chinese outward FDI, Indian foreign acquisitions and investment in tax havens-to show the enduring relevance and predictive power of internalisation theory. This analysis encompasses many other approaches as special cases of internalisation theory. The use of internalisation theory to analyse EMNEs is to be commended, not only because of its theoretical inclusivity, but also because it has the ability to connect and to explain seemingly desperate phenomena.

“…Como muitos autores observaram (Cobb, 1998;Roberts, 1995;Warf, 2002), os OFCs podem ser encontrados em vários agrupamentos físicos ao redor do planeta, incluindo o Caribe (por exemplo, as Ilhas Cayman, as Bahamas e o Panamá), em pequenos Estados europeus (por exemplo, Luxemburgo, Jersey, Gibraltar, San Marino, Liechtenstein e Ilha de Man), no Oriente Médio (por exemplo, Bahrein) e no Oceano Pacífico (por exemplo, Vanuatu). Embora possam atrair números consideráveis de fundos -as Ilhas Cayman, o maior OFC do mundo, têm o quarto maior volume mundial -, os OFCs geram poucos resultados, em termos de emprego; nas Ilhas Cayman, por exemplo, 538 bancos estrangeiros empregam apenas 1.000 pessoas (Roberts, 1995).…”

“…The field is especially complex when the ways in which gender, racialization and social class shape qualitative research are acknowledged. Informed by the nascent literature on feminist engagement with research subjects in 'elite' spaces of work (Conti and O'Neil, 2007;England, 2002England, , 1994McDowell, 1998;Mullings, 2005Mullings, , 1999Roberts, 1995, Smith, 2006 I offer a discussion of supplication and the search for positional spaces as a qualitative research methodology as I attempted this practice across Northern and Southern 'post' colonial research contexts while researching the negotiation of a free trade agreement. Specifically, the research concerns the failed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Agreement negotiated between 42 countries between 1995-2005.…”

‘Studying up’: Researcher as Supplicant in Feminist Studies of Elite Spaces of Work

This paper explores the process of 'studying up' in feminist qualitative research, including how to approach and gain access to participants in elite spaces of work. I offer a discussion of supplication and the search for positional spaces as a qualitative research methodology across Northern and Southern 'post' colonial research contexts. I focus on the process of access to interviews with trade negotiators using field notes from 2005-06 fieldwork in Canada and CARICOM countries where the failed Free Trade Area of the Americas Agreement was negotiated. Researcher positionality and specifically the idea of 'researcher as supplicant' are then explored in the (post) colonial research setting. In contrast to research relationships in which the researcher and participant are imagined as sharing power, I argue that supplication and seeking out positional spaces with interviewees are productive ways of negotiating research relationships with interviewees who exercise economic and political forms of power that the researcher has no or little access to.Keywords: gender, postcolonial, trade negotiation, feminist methodology, qualitative methodology Feminist research methodologies are centrally concerned with acknowledging that research relationships are unequal and situate issues of power as central to feminist research projects (Lal, 1996;Esim, 1997; Mullings, 1999;Ramazanoğlu and Holland, 2002;Naples, 2003;Harding and Hintikka, 2003). As Mullings (1999) notes, feminist qualitative methodologies have been largely shaped by the reality that feminists often conduct research with communities who are vulnerable to exploitation, and may be poorer or subordinated to the researcher in some way (338).
