Its thematic structure facilitates a focused analysis of key issues. Each chapter is written by acknowledged experts in the area, and the work is underpinned by original, independent and up to date research evidence augmented by incisive analysis and commentary. The overall work is therefore a great blend of theory, contextual understanding and original and independent research.
