Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. This Advanced Introduction provides a comprehensive guide to
the vibrant and expanding global production network (GPN) approach.
Neil M. Coe deftly explores the antecedents and theoretical
underpinnings of GPN analysis, as well as debates and controversies
surrounding the approach and its position in wider
interdisciplinary discussions. He argues overall that, during a
time of profound ongoing challenges within the global economic
system, the need for a GPN framework has never been more pressing.
Key features include: an up-to-date assessment of current debates
in the literature an integrated perspective on how GPN thinking can
aid understanding of capitalist uneven development a wide range of
sectoral and geographical examples a thorough discussion of
connections to cognate debates in the wider social sciences and
business and management studies identification of future research
challenges in the field. In short, Advanced Introduction to Global
Production Networks is an ideal introductory book for students at
both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in geography, economics
and business looking to understand the organization and dynamics of
the global economy.
Approved by the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales, and
Scotland, as the basis for the new Lectionary (2022) and all future
liturgical texts used by Catholics.
The ancient city of Angkor in Cambodia has fascinated scholars and
visitors alike since its rediscovery in the mid-19th century. A
great deal was already known about the history of Angkor and the
brilliant Khmer civilization that built it thanks to pioneering
work by archaeologists and scholars, but our knowledge has now been
completely revolutionized by cutting-edge technology. Airborne
laser scanning (LiDAR) has revealed entire cities that were
previously unknown and a complex urban landscape with highways and
waterways, profoundly transforming our interpretations of the
development and supposed decline of Angkor. In this comprehensively
updated edition of Angkor and the Khmer Civilization, respected
archaeologist Michael Coe is joined by Damian Evans, who led this
remarkable programme of scientific exploration, to present for the
first time in book form the results and implications of these
ground-breaking discoveries that are rewriting history.
This Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of current
developments, issues and good practices regarding assessment in
social science research. It pays particular attention to the
challenges in evaluation policies in the social sciences, as well
as to the specificities of publishing in the area. The Handbook
discusses the current societal challenges facing researchers, from
digital societies, to climate change and sustainability, to trust
in democratic societies. Chapters provide ways to strengthen
research assessment in the social sciences for the better, by
offering a diverse range of experiences and views of experts from
all continents. The Handbook also outlines major data sources that
can be used to assess social sciences research, as well as looking
at key dimensions of research quality in the social sciences
including journal peer review, the issue of identifying research
quality, and gender disparities in social science research. This
book will be an essential read for scholars interested in research
assessment in the social sciences. It will also be useful to policy
makers looking to understand the key position of the social
sciences in science and society and provide appropriate frameworks
for key societal challenges.
