| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Research into what has been alternatively identified as (transnational) communities, elites, or networks has a long history in social sciences.1 This scholarship offers various entry points emphasising economic, political, as well as sociocultural analytical dimensions, not to mention historical and spatial ones. Therefore, when investigating the dynamics of formation, maintenance, and decline of social aggregates (e.g. business associations, policy-planning groups, or epistemic communities), the question of how to move beyond disciplinary divides and build a post/interdisciplinary analytical framework inevitably arises. Yet, bridging these various dimensions in a ‘socio-political economy of the globe’ (see the ‘Introduction’ of this forum) is not without major theoretical and methodological challenges when it comes to business associations. |
