The Routledge Handbook of Events

The Routledge Handbook of Events explores and critically evaluates the debates and controversies associated with the rapidly expanding domain of Event Studies. It brings together leading specialists from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to provide a state-of-the-art review on the evolution of the subject. The first edition was a landmark study which examined how event research had evolved and developed from a range of different social science subject areas and disciplines. The Handbook was the first critique of the extent to which the subject had developed into a major area of social science inquiry. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect crucial developments in the field and includes brand new sections on ever-important aspects of Event Studies such as: anthropology hospitality seasonality knowledge management accessibility diversity and human rights as well as new studies on ‘the eventful city’ and the benefits of events in older life. The book is divided into four inter-related sections. Section 1 introduces and evaluates the concept of events. Section 2 critically reviews the relationship between events and other disciplines such as the contribution of economics psychology and geography to the critical discourse of Event Studies. Section 3 focuses on the business operational and strategic management of events while the final section crucially focuses on critical events as a new paradigm within the burgeoning literature on Events. It offers the reader a comprehensive and critical synthesis of this field conveying the latest thinking associated with events research edited by two of the leading scholars in the field. The text will provide an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in Events Studies encouraging dialogue that will span across disciplinary boundaries and other areas of study.

Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa

Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa

The Routledge Handbook of Francophone Africa brings together a multidisciplinary team of international experts to reflect on the history politics societies and cultures of French-speaking parts of Africa. Consisting of approximately 35% of Africa’s territory Francophone Africa is a shifting concept with its roots in French and Belgian colonial rule. This handbook develops and problematizes the term with thematic sections covering: Colonial and post-colonial ties between France and sub-Saharan Africa Belgium Belgian colonialism and Africa The Maghreb African Francophones in France Francophone African literature and film ‘Francophone’ and ‘Anglophone’ Africa Beyond national boundaries and ‘colonial partners’ The chapters demonstrate the evolution of Francophone Africa into a multi-dimensional construct with both a material and an imagined reality. Materially it defines a regional territorial space that coexists with other conceptualisations of African space and borders. Conceptually Francophone Africa constitutes a shared linguistic and cultural space within which collective memories are shared not least through their connection to the French imperial imagination. Overall the Handbook demonstrates that as global power structures and relations evolve African agency is increasingly assertive in shaping French-African relations. Bringing this important debate together into a single volume this Handbook will be an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Francophone Africa.

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development

This bold and ambitious handbook is the first systematic overview of the history of development ideas themes and actors in the twentieth century. Taking stock of the field the book reflects on blind spots points out avenues for future research and brings together a greater plurality of regions actors and approaches than other publications on the subject. The book offers a critical reassessment of how historical experiences have shaped contemporary understandings of development demonstrating that the seemingly self-evident concept of development has been contingent on a combination of material conditions power structures and policy choices at different times and in different places. Using a world history approach the handbook highlights similarities in development challenges across time and space and it pays attention to the meanings of ideological cultural and economic divides in shaping different understandings and practices of development. Taking a thematic approach the book shows how different actors – governments non-governmental organizations individuals corporations and international organizations – have responded to concerns regarding the conditions in their own or other societies such as the provision of education health or food; approaches to infrastructure development and industrialization; the adjustment of social conditions; population policies and migration; and the maintenance of stability and security. Bringing together a range of voices from across the globe this book will be perfect for advanced students and researchers of international development history. | The Routledge Handbook on the History of Development
