The Cambridge Elements on Global Development Studies publishes ground-breaking, novel works that move beyond existing theories and methodologies of development in order to consider social change in real times and real spaces.
The series is essentially inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary in nature as reflected in the theories, methodologies, and empirical studies it employs by examining processes of socio-political, environmental, economic, and cultural change. Geographically speaking, the series is global in scope and ambition, welcoming studies on developing societies, emerging economies, and ex-socialist countries in Asia, the Americas, Africa, Europe, and the Pacific.
The series appeals to academics, policy-makers and pracademics through: (1) cutting-edge and comprehensive scientific reviews; (2) thought-provoking essays setting future directions for research, theory, and methodology; and (3) theoretically rich and empirically grounded studies.
