Our analysis shows that rather than examining two seemingly different issues (predatory publishing vs. established publishers) as conflictual dualism, it is more productive to conceive them in associative and mutually constitutive fashion. It moves beyond a micro-level explanation by (the lack of) individual morality as well as a structural explanatory framework preoccuped with publishing infrastructure and culturalist approach based on ready-made dichotomies of West/North vs South/East. Instead, our analysis provides an account that engages both with morality and geopolitics whilst tackling them as dynamic processes in making.
