Women's Economic Writing in the Nineteenth Century is the first
comprehensive collection of women's economic writing in the long
nineteenth century. The four-volume anthology includes writing from
women around the world, showcases the wide variety and range of
economic writing by women in the period, and establishes a
tradition of women's economic writing; selections include didactic
tales, fictional illustrations, poetry, economic theory, social
theory, reports, letters, novels, speeches, dialogues, and
self-help books. The anthology is divided into eight themed
sections: political economy, feminist economics, domestic
economics, labor, philanthropy and poverty, consumerism, emigration
and empire, and self-help. Each section begins with an introduction
that tells a story about women writers' relationship to the section
theme and then provides an overview of the selections contained
therein. Women's Economic Writing in the Nineteenth Century
demonstrates just how common it was for women to write about
economics in the nineteenth century and establishes important
throughlines and trajectories within their body of work.

reflect critically on the relationship between tourism and rural
community development. It first orients the reader in the important
conceptual and epistemological foundations of the topic, before
moving to consider key concepts and the most significant and
salient theoretical and methodological developments in the field.
Chapters written by a range of well-established, leading and
emerging scholars in the field consider crucial issues facing
tourism development in rural communities across different
geographical settings. The Handbook represents a variety of
traditional and emerging forms of scholarly writing, including
theoretically driven chapters, empirical case studies and
first-person narratives, to offer a detailed study of the topic.
With a forward-looking angle, it studies tourism development in
rural areas, including working with rural communities, tourism
governance and ethical considerations. Chapters also consider new
directions in the field, examining food and tourism, degrowth,
landscapes, animals, social impacts and women social entrepreneurs.
This comprehensive and innovative Handbook offers a wealth of
empirical and theoretical knowledge on tourism and rural community
development, and as such will be a critical resource for tourism,
development studies and human geography scholars and students.

system strength, change, talent management and the role of line
managers in the HRM process. Providing an overview of the current
knowledge in the HR process research, the Handbook also discusses

and the social sciences. The chapters are split into insightful
sections dedicated to foundational background material, methods,
social science applications and the challenges on the horizon,
using state-of-the-art coverage of the traditional and novel
spatial methods. Leading scholars in the field use a range of
applications to illustrate the diverse ways in which spatial
analysis methods can inform research in the field of social
sciences. Furthermore, the Handbook discusses the key challenges to
that research including uncertainty, reproducibility and
replicability. This Handbook of Spatial Analysis in the Social
Sciences will be an excellent informative resource for scholars in
the fields of geography, social sciences and public health.
Established and early career researchers of the social sciences
alike will appreciate the detailed overview of the methods and

This four-volume collection presents a range of documents related
to aspects of the constitutional history of the United Kingdom
(UK), covering the ‘long’ nineteenth century. It examines
material dating from the period of the American and French
revolutions through to the advent of an equal franchise for men and
women. During the long nineteenth century, the country passed
through immense socio-economic changes. It underwent internal
strains involving its multinational composition. It became the
dominant global power, then saw that position become subject to
various challenges. These tendencies helped generate sustained and
wide-ranging controversy about how the country should govern
itself. They also helped produce a series of important changes in
the nature of the constitution. At the outset of the long
nineteenth century, only a tiny proportion of the population were
allowed to vote; and an hereditary monarch remained an active
political figure. By the end, democratic ideas and practices had
achieved ascendancy. Yet in other ways, the constitution retained
some long-established characteristics. The purpose of these volumes
is to support research into and understanding of these tendencies.
They will enable readers to approach concepts such as democracy and
constitutional change from a critical standpoint, evaluating
existing interpretations and encouraging the consideration of
possible different conclusions. The collection will encourage
consideration of matters such as paths that were not taken, what
resistance there was to change, how particular outcomes came about,
and the compromises involved. It will also facilitate comparison
between constitutional ideals and realities.

business plans, and address key topics such as visitor management
and overcrowding. Offering how-to tools and step-by-step guidance,

experience to outline the best practices for an array of tasks to
inform sustainable tourism planning, development and operation.
Incorporating concrete solutions employed in numerous contexts,

tourism and agencies commissioning sustainable tourism assignments
who are in need of innovative methods and up-to-date guidance in
the field. It will also benefit tourism scholars, particularly
those investigating practical methodologies for creating
sustainable tourism experiences.
This timely Research Handbook examines the dynamic and
interdependent relationship between law and diplomacy in the
contemporary international system. Through accounts of the actual
practice of international law and diplomacy, it provides insights
into how international law and relations operate and examines the
complex relationship. An impressive selection of contributors
provides analyses of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy in
international law making, interpretation, and adjudication. These
accounts include examinations of legal diplomacy, reforms within
international organisations, judicial diplomacy, and the role of
non-state actors - including NGOs and corporations - in the
international system. Chapters consist of case studies of treaty
negotiations, multilateral legal reform, and the resolution of
disputes under formal and informal international legal mechanisms.
This Handbook also assesses the relative roles of lawyers,
diplomats and lawyer-diplomats within the international system, and
the ethical framework for their professional conduct. This Handbook
will be helpful to advanced undergraduate, graduate, and law
students, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policy makers
interested in multilateralism, diplomacy, international law,
international organisations, civil society, and the ethics of law
and diplomacy.
