Toward a critical study of boundaries in and around organizations: Introduction to the Special Issue
这篇特刊导言聚焦组织内外边界的政治意涵，探讨边界划定如何导致边缘化与排斥，并指出未来研究可关注边界的矛盾效应、权力位置对边界协商的作用、边界的意识唤起及其与（国际）边界划定的关联。
This introduction to the Special Issue makes the political implications of boundaries in and around organizations the central locus of inquiry. It explores the experiences and interests of those who encounter marginalization and exclusion through processes of boundary drawing. Next to introducing the individual papers of the Special Issue and identifying overlapping themes across them, we highlight opportunities to inspire future research on the ambivalence of the enabling and constraining effects of boundaries, the role of different power positions for negotiating boundaries, how boundaries are brought in and out of consciousness and how boundaries are connected with (inter)national boundary drawing.
