By foregrounding empirical research and methodological diversity, this Special Issue reframes global development as an open and contested process.

The Hansen panel threshold model is employed to analyze data of 116 developing countries from 2000 to 2021, with complementary regional estimates. The reliability and validity of the findings are reinforced using panel-corrected standard errors and dynamic GMM estimators as robustness checks. The results establish non-linear poverty-reducing benefits of globalization, with more pronounced impacts under high global interconnectedness. Additionally, the study provides nuanced evidence of globalization’s diminishing marginal social welfare returns to poverty at higher thresholds of integration.

This study points to an expansive African scholarship cataloguing the epistemic violence of bibliometrics while also demonstrating how these structural constraints against the critique inhibit real institutional autonomy. Our analysis demonstrates how critical discourse becomes complicit with the systems it seeks to challenge, negotiating from within knowledge economies that ritualize such oppositions while constraining actual transformations. The findings show that top-down reform failures speak of coordination challenges, lack of resources, and path dependency created by a globally uniform academic system that neutralizes transformative potential through subordinate incorporation. We propose coordinated continental evaluation authorities and strong journal infrastructures and strategically position themselves to counter this co-optive logic and forcefully set the stage for moving global knowledge economies from asymmetry toward reciprocity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145977398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coastal communities are vital for food security, poverty alleviation, and cultural integrity, especially in coastal emerging nations such as Ghana. Nevertheless, these communities face increasing vulnerability to climate change, characterized by intensifying temperatures, varying rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events, all of which threaten their livelihoods. This study focuses on the trend analysis of climate variability in the Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly and the Shama District in Ghana, utilizing historical climate data. Secondary data (time series) was obtained from the Ghana Meteorological Agency on climate variables such as rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature, ranging from 1984 to 2023, and the Modified Mann-Kendall Test and Sen’s Slope were used to determine the trends of rainfall and temperature, which revealed that both have significantly increased over time. The Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly and the Shama District exhibited significant rainfall variability, with the Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly ranging from 419.4 mm to 973.8 mm and the Shama District from 701.8 mm to 1456.6 mm. The Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly recorded maximum temperatures ranging from 28.9°C to 31.5°C, with an annual mean of 30.1°C. In the Shama district, the maximum temperature ranged from 29.3°C to 30.8°C, with an annual average of 30.2°C. Meanwhile, the minimum temperature ranges from 22.3°C to 24.2°C.

Using country-level annual time series, the quantitative results indicate that FDI co-moves with long-run economic expansion across the cases, but the strength of the short-run FDI-growth relationship differs by country and is sensitive to shocks and model specification. Poland’s and Vietnam’s annual series show mixed correlations between FDI inflows and GDP growth, suggesting that short-run growth variation is shaped by additional macroeconomic and policy factors beyond investment volumes alone. Ukraine’s experience highlights how conflict conditions can destabilise the FDI-growth relationship, while also showing a positive association in non-outlier periods. Qualitative evidence suggests that institutional stability, sectoral composition of investment, and absorptive capacity influence whether FDI translates into productivity gains and sustained growth. Policy recommendations emphasise strengthening institutions, improving investment quality through sectoral diversification, and reducing regional disparities by supporting investment beyond major urban hubs, thereby promoting more inclusive and resilient economic growth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100337"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article develops a multi-level perspective that connects domestic politics, institutional capacity, leadership agency, and transnational forces within a single analytical frame. It argues that the effectiveness of industrial policy depends not on any one of these domains alone, but on how they interact and reinforce − or undermine − one another across scales of governance. Drawing on the experiences of South Korea (1961–1979) and Malaysia (1981–2003), the paper shows how similar developmental ambitions yielded varying degrees of success, reflecting differences in bureaucratic autonomy, coalition cohesion, and the ability to navigate global regimes and value-chain dynamics. The analysis suggests that successful industrial policy in a globalized world requires both embedded and autonomous institutions, adaptive and committed leadership, and the capacity to negotiate a viable policy space within transnational constraints. The framework thus contributes to a broader research agenda on global industrial policy, linking domestic governance to the evolving architecture of globalization that now shapes industrialization itself.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146173500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This productivity gain translates to a sustainable competitive advantage, as high-performance and engaged human resources consistently deliver superior outcomes and innovations. Therefore, this study proposes an innovative Big Data Analytics (BDA)-enabled Organizational Performance Optimization (OPO) framework for compensation and benefit management. Integrating two technological models–Big Data Enabled Decision Support Architecture (BD-DSA) for secure beneficiary verification, and Contextual Recurrent-Value Learning Unit Gated Recurring Unit (CR-VLU-GRU) for accurate pay-grade classification–this framework addresses critical gaps in Human Resource (HR) decision-making. To balance operational efficiency and employee trust, this study incorporates data privacy-preserving techniques and efficient structuring into the model. The findings of the study show significant improvements in the proposed model when compared with the existing models, with – 50 % faster data retrieval for employee queries, 70 % reduction in employee digital signature creation and verification time, and 99 % accuracy and fairness in compensation allocation based on pay-grade classifications. The study highlights how data-driven compensation and benefit management strategies directly contribute to employee performance, reducing employee turnover, and eventually boosting the productivity and performance of the organization. Limitations and future direction discussions indicate that the integration of corporate social responsibility dimensions and cross-sectoral validations would strengthen the proposed framework to broaden generalizability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145683685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
