The Meritorious ‘Other’: The Interconnection of Merit and Race in EU Migration and Asylum Law
JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Adopting a law‐in‐context approach, this article suggests that merit‐based migrant selection in the European Union (EU) is implicitly shaped by racial dynamics. With a focus on EU law and more specifically on cases from the Netherlands and Germany, it argues that the growing emphasis on merit enables a limited number of ‘racialised others’ to ...

Palaces for a New Spain Nobility: Between Creole Identity and Academicism
Sociology Lens, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 75-86, March 2025.ABSTRACT Mexico City and Havana had a significant number of noble palaces during the eighteenth century. Until now, the dearth of historical documentation on their construction has hampered any approximation, requiring other methodologies. Here, it is intended to establish how a new visual code was defined, consistent both with their local style and ...

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract It is clear that contemporary management education (ME) needs to be transformed to tackle complex social‐ecological crises effectively. However, the concept of transformation is often ill‐defined in the context of ME; while there is also a lack of understanding about what concrete transformation trajectories (also called scaling pathways) are ...

When Great Powers Struggle: How Geopolitical Alignments of Small States Are Influenced by Their MNEs
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Comparing two distinct deglobalization periods, this study shows how Finnish multinational enterprises (MNEs) used corporate diplomatic activities (CDA) to influence Finland's alignment with a struggling great power. Drawing from hegemonic stability theory and new institutional economics, we argue that the power's collapsing global networks ...

Narcissism Is Associated With Blunted Error‐Related Brain Activity
Journal of Personality, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Narcissism is associated with self‐enhancement and social antagonism, yet its neural underpinnings, particularly in error processing, remain underexplored. Competing theoretical models, such as the mask model and the metacognitive model, offer conflicting hypotheses regarding how narcissism influences early neural responses to errors.
