CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF BUSINESS ETHICS ON "WOMEN, GLOBALISATION, AND GLOBAL MANAGEMENT: ISSUES AND PERSPECTIVES".

Guest Editors:
Kevin Ibeh, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
Sara Carter, University of Stirling, Stirling, UK

Over the past few years, there has been considerable debate regarding the nature and impact of globalisation in scholarly, policy making, media, and other stakeholders’ circles. One key point on which many contributors are agreed concerns the need to ensure a wider  and more equitable distribution of globalisation benefits to as many geo-political and socio-demographic groupings as possible. The gender dimension to this issue has, not surprisingly, attracted growing interest among scholars and other key stakeholders. Contributions have tended to diverge in terms of whether globalisation is viewed as a force for good or ill in women’s lives, in their various roles as workers, managers, entrepreneurs, mothers, carers, and increasingly breadwinners. The aim of this special issue is provide a focused forum for furthering and extending ongoing debate on women’s experiences under globalisation. An ancillary aim is to pull together and distil the more important conceptual and empirical work being undertaken on this topical theme. This is with a view to providing a consolidated reference point for scholars, practitioners, policy makers, and other stakeholders with abiding interest in understanding the gains and the pains of the globalisation phenomenon in relation to women in the 21st century.

The guest editors are keen to receive rigorous and thoughtful conceptual papers, literature reviews, and empirical studies on a range of pertinent topics, which might include (though not limited to) the following:
