Elgar Advanced Introductions series

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social science, business and law, expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars.

The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential principles of a particular field, and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking. By distilling the vast and often technical corpus of information on the subject into a concise and meaningful form, the books serve as accessible introductions for undergraduate and graduate students coming to the subject for the first time. Importantly, they also develop well-informed, nuanced critiques of the field that will challenge and extend the understanding of advanced students, scholars and policy-makers.

Readership

Elgar Advanced Introductions can be used in class with undergraduates, and will also appeal to graduate students, policy-makers and non-specialist academics. By crystallizing a field they also contribute to overall scholarly understanding.
