Borderless free market governance frameworks are replacing the old nation-state-centered Keynesian policies.

The article shows the profound consequences it holds for the institutional environment of business and for the relations between business, government, and society. These developments have a direct impact on the field of business and society, suggesting the need for a more extensive consideration of geopolitical factors in its scholarship.
