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 ...

Russia's Wartime Economy: Measuring Regional Inequalities From Outer Space

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study Russia's February 2022 full‐scale invasion of Ukraine as a natural experiment to determine how sudden disruptions to international market access reshape sub‐national economic inequalities. Using remotely‐sensed nighttime lights as a proxy for economic activity, we estimate the economic effects of the war at the national and regional ...

The consequences of partial clonality on the spatiotemporal genetic structure of the red alga Chondria tumulosa (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction partition genetic diversity, but the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. Chondria tumulosa is a red macroalga that has been documented at high abundance in the three northernmost atolls ...

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.
