In this introductory article we explore the relationship between statehood and governance, examining in more detail how non-state actors like MNCs, international NGOs, and indigenous authorities, often under conditions of extreme economic scarcity, ethnic diversity, social inequality and violence, take part in the making of rules and the provision of collective goods. Conceptually, we focus on the literature on Areas of Limited Statehood and discuss its usefulness in exploring how business-society relations are governed in the global South, and beyond. Building on insights from this literature, among others, the four articles included in this special issue provide rich illustrations and critical reflections on the multiple, complex and often ambiguous roles of state and non-state actors operating in contemporary Syria, Nigeria, India and Palestine, with implications for conventional understandings of CSR, stakeholders, and related conceptualizations.

1. On 30 July 2004 the Court issued three new practice directions (X-XU). Practice Direction X calls for agents to attend meetings concerning procedural aspects of cases without delay; Practice Direction XI calls on parties to ensure that material presented during oral hearings on prov sional measures are strictly relevant to the criteria for their being awarded; Practice DirectionXB established procedures with regard to submissions made by international NGOs in connection with advisory proceedings. The Court also amended Practice Direction V, clarifying that the 4-month period in which a party may present observations and submissions on preliminary objections runs from the date on which the preliminary objections were filed.

Research on non-governmental organizations (NGOs, often international NGOs, or INGOs) has advanced over the last several decades from demonstrating that NGOs matter in shaping economic development and foreign aid to examining the potential for NGOs to advocate for new rights, set standards for environmental protections, and establish alternative economic arrangements in international relations. The study of NGOs as organizations has opened their potential as interest groups as well as economic actors in their own rights. Moving forward, new data and new theory is needed to fully develop International Political Economy (IPE) understandings of NGO motives, intentions, strategies, and power in global governance.
