Handbooks
Our authoritative handbooks comprise specially commissioned, peer reviewed, original chapters offering comprehensive analyses of each topic. Our handbooks are unique in their research focus and, in many cases, the cross disciplinary nature of the topics. We publish handbooks in established fields and in emerging areas that outline current research and set out new research agendas for the future. A good mix of senior and emerging scholars allows for a lively debate between chapters and encourages aspirations to pave the way for future research.
