CALL FOR PAPERS – International Marketing Review
Special issue on “International perspectives on nation branding – current trends and future directions”

Nation branding has emerged relatively recently as an important field in the domain of international marketing.  The objective of this special issue is to examine the nature of nation branding and its relevance to international marketing in the domains of export promotion and export marketing; tourism; and foreign direct investment (FDI). The field of nation branding is characterised by an increasingly large amount of real world activity, but relatively little rigorous theory-building. The domain of nation branding remains under-theorised. This special issue thus aims to contribute to advancing the field of nation branding through a mix of conceptual and empirical papers, advancing theory, understanding and knowledge.

All rigorous and thoughtful conceptual papers, literature reviews, case studies, empirical studies and practice papers using a wide range of methodologies are encouraged.

Submissions welcome from: 30th November 2008
Closing date for submission: 31st May 2009
Proposed publication date: Vol. 27, No 3 (June 2010)
The journal homepage is located at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/imr.htm.  Please read the author guidelines on this site before submitting your paper.
