Abstract Background: Genetic resources are important for the livelihood of the rural population in developing countries and have an economic potential that, through an efficient Access and Benefit Sharing regime, can support sustainable economic development. Considering the wealth of genetic resources in Mozambique, its eligibility for Access and Benefit Sharing projects has been explored. Methods: The socio-economic status of the Changana community of the Limpopo National Park area was studied through a 500 questionnaires socio-economic survey. Considering the livelihood role that plant genetic resources could play for the local rural population, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted, with the support of villagers knowledgeable of wild plant resources and their use. Results: Several criticalities in the living condition of local communities and a generalized lack of adequate economic incomes have emerged from the socio-economic analysis. A list of 101 plant species with important commercial possibilities, mainly related to medical, food and cosmetic sectors, was provided by the ethnobotanical survey. Around 95% of the plant studied which could have effective medical properties showed the greatest potential.Conclusion: A significant potential for Mozambique to be included in Access and Benefit Sharing initiatives was recognized. The present work can contribute to the identification of Access and Benefit Sharing pilot projects, toward the evaluation of the policy efficacy and implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the Country. The Limpopo National Park area can support Access and Benefit Sharing projects toward the economic development of the indigenous and local communities and the conservation of the Country’s biodiversity.

This research extends bribery research toward entrepreneurial theory and practice by examining how bribery impacts new venture disbanding in China. Existing research suggests that bribery may enhance firms’ competitive advantage; however, building off of resource-based view and taking into consideration the institutional context in China, the current study proposes that firm bribery activity hurts new ventures by increasing the hazard of venture disbanding. Further, guided by resource dependence theory, this study examines how local economic development and organizing activity moderate the relation between bribery and disbanding. In particular, it is proposed that when local economic development is suffering, or when firms are not engaging in appropriate organizing activities, bribery will lead to higher chance of new venture disbanding. Data from Chinese entrepreneurs support these hypotheses.

The XXI century has reached the end of its first 20 years. Along the years, it has posed complex challenges to economists and economic geographers. For example, the results of elections and consultations in different countries have shown a strong sympathy with political positions that question the benefits of free international flows of goods, services, labour and capital. By the same token, some academics argue that despite international economics theory clearly acknowledges that free trade causes winners and losers, the expected higher gains have not been effectively used to compensate the losers. This article explores the main challenges of international economic integration in sub-national territories in Switzerland and Mexico to better understand the importance of delivering relevant and competent public policies based on territorial specificity.
