Vol 1, No 3 (2024): Global Frameworks and Local Practices
Issue Description
This issue dedicated to exploring sustainable supply chains through an interdisciplinary lens, incorporating theories from International Relations (IR) to better understand the complexities of global logistics in an era marked by significant geopolitical shifts. As the demand for sustainable business practices grows, this issue highlights innovative research that integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations into supply chain management. The contribu‐ tions within this issue apply a mix of realist and liberalist IR perspectives to dissect the dynamics of global and local supply chain strategies, focusing on industries such as shipping and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in supply chain practices. By merging theoretical approaches from IR with practical supply chain issues, the articles offer novel insights into how businesses and poli‐ cymakers can navigate the challenges of sustainability amid global uncertainties. This issue not only advances academic discourse but also proposes actionable frameworks for practitioners aiming to implement robust and responsible supply chain strategies. The overarching message advocates for a concerted effort to align international cooperation with corporate governance to foster sustain‐ able and resilient supply chains worldwide.
