Notes

  1. 1.

    The decision to rank countries based on numbers of U.S. based MNC “parent organizations” is also useful because in three out of the five country cases examined (i.e., India, Brazil, and Thailand), the 2019 Uniworld rankings of subsidiaries (and their numbers) closely corresponded to the rankings for “parent organizations”.

  2. 2.

    The neoliberal institutionalist approach puts emphasis on non-state actor efforts, with focus on inter-governmental organizations in particular, to promote cooperation between states.

  3. 3.

    Morgan, Patrick. [40] “Safeguarding Security Studies” Arms Control, 13(3):466–479)

  4. 4.

    This concept draws on Jervis’ notion of “subjective security demands,” where leaders have various security sensitivities.

  5. 5.

    This example suggests the role of culture as one of the determinants to security conceptualization.

  6. 6.

    Risk, as conceptualized, parallels notions of power as conceptualized by Robert A. Dahl, Anatol Rapoport, and Morton Deutsch.

  7. 7.

    There was insufficient information in the GTD data and supplemental data available to make accurate determinations about whether or not terrorist group chieftains qualified as charismatic leaders.
