Abstract

Purpose
The　apparent　onset　of　an　era　of　anti-globalization　creates　significant　challenges　for　international　business　practice,　research　and　education.　This　paper　discusses　the　implication　of　these　challenges　for　international　business　scholarship.

Design/methodology/approach
Essay　with　critical　assessment　of　the　literature

Findings
I　identify　and　analyze　two　sets　of　concerns　of　the　anti-globalization　movement:　the　unequal　distribution　of　the　benefits　of　globalization　and　emergent　constraints　on　national　sovereignty.　On　that　basis　offer　suggestions　how　international　business　scholars　may　contribute　to　addressing　these　challenges　through　research,　teaching　and　public　engagement.

Practical　implications
Businesses　need　to　understand　the　economic　and　institutional　arguments　motivating　the　anti-globalization　movement,　and　to　address　them　within　their　scope　of　activity.

Originality/value
This　paper　offers　a　pathway　for　international　business　scholars　to　contribute　to　discourses　on　globalization　and　anti-globalization.
