The Handbook of Research on Artificial Intelligence, Innovation and
Entrepreneurship focuses on theories, policies, practices, and
politics of technology innovation and entrepreneurship based on
Artificial Intelligence (AI). It examines when, where, how, and why
AI triggers, catalyzes, and accelerates the development,
exploration, exploitation, and invention feeding into
entrepreneurial actions that result in innovation success.
Individual chapters explore the factors that shape and drive
innovation and entrepreneurship, including modalities (such as the
Internet of Things (IoT)), challenges (such as privacy and safety
concerns), and opportunities (such as augmenting the efficacy
frontier of technological solutions enabled by AI). This Handbook
provides comprehensive coverage of AI, technology, and innovation
and entrepreneurship for academics, policy makers, practitioners,
and students.

'The Handbook of Diverse Economies offers a rich, beautiful,
organic garden of ideas to nourish the project of ''doing economy''
differently. These sprouts and vines will, eventually, alter the
institutional structures we inhabit.' - Nancy Folbre, University of
Massachusetts Amherst, US 'Let us forget, just for a moment,
''capitalism'' and instead investigate the diversity of new forms
of economic activities that are flourishing everywhere: this is the
essential, energizing, message of J. K. Gibson-Graham, Kelly
Dombroski and her colleagues. This innovative book must be
absolutely put into all hands. It takes us on a long and rewarding
journey around the world to explore ongoing experiences that all
attempt to invent new ways of living together.' - Michel Callon,
Centre de Socologie de l'Innnovation, Mines ParisTech, France
Theorising and illustrating diverse, more-than-capitalist
economies, this broad-ranging Handbook presents ways in which it is
possible to imagine and enact other ways of being. It gathers
together empirical examples of diverse economic practices and
experiments from across the world, framed by in-depth discussions
of key theoretical concepts. Organised into thematic sections, the
Handbook moves from looking at diverse forms of enterprise, to
labour, transactions, property, and finance as well as decentred
subjectivity and diverse economies methodology. Chapters present a
wide diversity of economic practices that make up contemporary
economies, many of which are ignored or devalued by mainstream
economic theory. Pushing the boundaries of economic thinking to
include more than human labour and human/non-human interdependence,
it highlights the challenges of enacting ethical economies in the
face of dominant ways of thinking and being. Economic geography,
political economy and development studies scholars will greatly
appreciate the empirical examples of diverse economic practices
blended with theory throughout the Handbook. It will also benefit
policy-makers and practitioners working within diverse economies,
or looking to create more ethical ways of living.
Bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this
fascinating and timely Research Handbook provides diverse
perspectives on the law and practice of adoption. It examines how
adoption laws differ between countries and cultures, and the
ongoing effects of adoption on the child, the birth parent(s), and
the adoptive parent(s). This Research Handbook documents the
history of adoption legislation and offers comparative perspectives
on the implementation of full adoption in England and Wales, in
contrast to the use of simple adoption in other European countries.
Chapters examine the challenges facing adoption law; from adoption
without parental consent and anonymous birth, to transracial and
intercountry adoption, as well as discussing the human rights of
the child during and after the adoption process. Providing an
abundance of global research on all aspects of the topic of
adoption, Nigel Lowe and Claire Fenton-Glynn offer a comprehensive
guide to the past, present, and future of adoption law. The
Research Handbook of Adoption Law will be an indispensable resource
for students and researchers of family law and social work, as well
as human rights lawyers, legal practitioners in the field of
adoption, and social workers worldwide.
This Handbook brings together state-of-the-art contributions and
international insights outlining the key theoretical developments
and empirical findings related to sustainable development and
governance. Providing both an overview and deep dive into the
topic, it demonstrates how the concept of sustainable development
and governance has led to multiple responses in both the academic
and policy world from a theoretical, conceptual and operational
viewpoint. Drawing on a wide range of perspectives, leading
contributors examine global research on the governance of
sustainable development, spanning disciplines including politics,
public policy, international relations, environmental science and
human geography. Providing an in-depth examination of current
ongoing challenges such as climate change, trade and poverty, the
Handbook investigates both collaborative approaches for sustainable
development governance and policy innovation and integration.
Furthermore, chapters utilise global case studies in action,
exploring governance by international and non-government
organisations and illustrating their key findings. Providing an
interdisciplinary perspective, this Handbook will be a critical
resource for research students of sustainable development and
environmental governance as well as established researchers in the
field. Scholars of politics and public policy will find the case
studies informative and illuminating.
This Research Handbook is of great importance in an era where
torture, whilst universally condemned, remains endemic. It explores
the nature of the international prohibition of torture and the
various means and mechanisms which have been put in place by the
international community in an attempt to make that prohibition a
reality. Â Edited by Chairs of the UN Committee against
Torture and of the UN Subcommittee for Prevention of Torture, this
Research Handbook considers both the legal and medical dimensions
of torture, as well as societal and philosophical perspectives.
Contributions from experts with personal experience of working with
torture victims and survivors in medical, legal and political
settings survey practice within the UN and regional human rights
systems, international criminal and domestic legal settings, and in
medical and rehabilitative contexts. These expert perspectives
combine to offer a unique range of insights into the realities of
tackling torture in the contemporary world. Â Critical and
timely, the Research Handbook on Torture will prove compulsive
reading for students and scholars of human rights. Its practical
dimension will also engage practitioners in the field, as well as
legal and medical professionals working on torture-related issues.
