This article develops a framework that accounts for the links between legitimation and delegitimation strategies and how they regularly produce ‘legitimation struggles’. Drawing on the case of the African Union between 2015–2020, the study goes beyond existing research in three ways. First, legitimation struggles are not simply related to input and output legitimacy but are deeply related to the social purpose of the organization. Second, legitimation struggles do not only involve IO representatives and member-states but are strengthened by a range of other non-state agents. Third, while discursive strategies are essential, legitimation struggles are reinforced when they are combined with behavioural or institutional legitimation strategies. Future research would do well to go beyond the current Western-centric bias and draw on our findings to investigate legitimation struggles under different conditions around the world.","PeriodicalId":47695,"journal":{"name":"Globalizations","volume":"39 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135037036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we look at the role of institutional actors and their transnational connections on transnational entrepreneurship. Based on interviews with institutional actors in two IT hubs of the Californian Silicon Valley and the Maltese Silicon Valletta, we reveal how the transnational connectedness of entrepreneurial ecosystems emerges from the transnational connections of these institutional actors. We further map the connectedness between industry-specific entrepreneurial ecosystems, and we conceptualize these as intra- and cross-categorical transnational connections. This illustrates the mechanism of IT, industry-specific entrepreneurial ecosystems, differing from the logic of other industries, such as finance. This industry-specific perspective of entrepreneurial ecosystems reveals how they are transnationally connected and how transnational entrepreneurship ‘from below’, and its associated mobility contribute to the overall global economy.KEYWORDS: Migrant entrepreneurshipIT industrytransnational networksnetwork of entrepreneurial ecosystemscontextual entrepreneurship AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank Luis Karcher for his graphic support with the initial draft of visualizing the Maltese entrepreneurial ecosystem in Figure 4.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In fact, as Pattinson et al. (Citation2018) write ‘The ecosystem concept would seem to be of increasing importance in high-tech sectors where coopetition is conducted around digital platforms where direct relationships may not exist between key complementors’ (p. 26).2 Institutions in the sense of organization sociology, where actors are representatives of the governmental organizations, companies, and further support agencies (see also Table 2).3 Institutional actors are still individuals; however, acting on behalf of their organizations and not as private individuals.4 Further accounts in migrant entrepreneurship research are emphasizing the ‘mixed-embeddedness’ in social networks and institutional contexts (Bagwell, Citation2018; Solano, Citation2019).5 Influential actors, in the context of organizational sociology, are individuals in managerial roles and decision power in the organization. Consequently, normally the higher the position within the institutional, the more influential the actor comes. In the case of this study, these actors had a direct influence on the shaping of the shaping of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.6 Although institutional actors, especially in public support organizations, might not appear to have their own business interest, their aim and contents of activities and contributions to the entrepreneurial ecosystem are inherently economic. Thus, they are institutional actors by organizatio","PeriodicalId":47695,"journal":{"name":"Globalizations","volume":" 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135290675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
