Abstract: In their assessment of research published in three international 
business journals, Thomas, Shenkar, and Clarke (1994) described a body of 
work characterized by low levels of internationalization We extend their 
research by reviewing 1439 articles published from 2000 to 2008 in four core 
international business journals Although we find that the shadow of US 
dominance continues to lie over the field, we also find evidence of increasing 
research and authorship diversity Although the representation of nations is 
uneven and cultural diversity levels remain low, we conclude that international 
business research has entered a new era of research internationalism. (C) 2010
