Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics

While dating from post-Classical economists such as Thorstein Veblen and Joseph Schumpeter the inception of the modern field of evolutionary economics is usually dated to the early 1980s. Broadly speaking evolutionary economics sees the economy as undergoing continual evolutionary change. Evolutionary change indicates that these changes were not planned but rather were the result of innovations and selection processes. These often involved winners and losers but most importantly they resulted in actors learning what was and was not working. Evolutionary economics in contrast to mainstream economics emphasises the relevance of variables such as technology institutions decision rules routines or consumer preferences for explaining the complex evolutionary changes in the economy. In so doing evolutionary economics significantly broadens the scope of economic analysis and sheds new light on key concepts and issues of the discipline. This handbook draws on a stellar cast list of international contributors ranging from the founders of the field to the newest voices. The volume explores the current state of the art in the field of evolutionary economics at the levels of the micro (e. g. firms and households) meso (e. g. industries and institutions) and macro (e. g. economic policy structure and growth). Overall the Routledge Handbook of Evolutionary Economics provides an excellent overview of current trends and issues in this rapidly developing field.

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

Co-published with Colleges and universities are increasingly becoming significant sites for adult education scholarship—in large part due to demographic shifts. With fewer U. S. high school graduates on the horizon higher education institutions will need to attract “non-traditional” (i. e. older) adult learners to remain viable both financially and politically. There is a need to develop a better corpus of scholarship on topics as diverse as what learning theories are useful for understanding adult learning? How are higher education institutions changing in response to the surge of adult students? What academic programs are providing better learning and employment outcomes for adults in college? Adult education scholars can offer much to the policy debates taking place in higher education. A main premise of this handbook is that adult and continuing education should not simply respond to rapidly changing social economic technological and political environments across the globe but should lead the way in preparing adults to become informed globally-connected critical citizens who are knowledgeable skilled and open and adaptive to change and uncertainty. The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education provides rich information on the contemporary issues and trends that are of concern to adult and continuing education of the programs and resources available to adult learners and of opportunities to challenge and critique the structures embedded in the field that perpetuate inequity and social injustice. Adult education is a discipline that foresees a better tomorrow and The Handbook is designed to engage and inspire readers to assist the field to seek new paths in uncertain and complex times ask questions and to help the field flourish. The Handbook is divided into five sections. The first Foundations situates the field by describing the developments core debates perspectives and key principles that form the basis of the field. The second Understanding Adult Learning includes chapters on adult learning adult development motivation access participation and support of adult learners and mentoring. Teaching Practices and Administrative Leadership the third section offers chapters on organization and administration program planning assessment and evaluation teaching perspectives andragogy and pedagogy public pedagogy and digital technologies for teaching and learning. The fourth section is Formal and Informal Learning Contexts. Chapters cover adult basic GED and literacy education English-as-a-Second Language Programs family literacy prison education workforce development military education international development education health professions education continuing professional education higher education human resource development and workplace learning union and labor education religious and spiritual education cultural institutions environmental education social and political movements and peace and conflict education. The concluding Contemporary Issues section discusses decolonizing adult and continuing education adult education and welfare teaching social activism lesbian gay bisexual trans queer and straight allies gender and its multiple forms disability older adults and intergenerational identities race and ethnicity working class whiteness and privilege and migrants and migrant education.
