In preparation for our joint Special Issue in the Journal of International Business Policy (www.jibp.net), my co-editors and I will organize a small conference at WU Vienna and University of Innsbruck in January 2022. We will follow-up on the discussion we had in our panel at the 41st SMS conference, and discuss research on the interface of IB and political science. There is an outstanding panel of senior researchers from around the world who will share their views, and a call for papers (available here) invites scholars to submit their research on the topic matter. We look forward to many submissions, and an exciting conference!
