ATTENTION TRANSITION/DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS
As editor for Ashgate Publishing Limited, I am taking the liberty of
contacting you because I would like to introduce myself and my publishing
house.
Ashgate's dynamic development studies publishing has gained global
recognition for its quality and breadth of coverage. The list supports the
publication of original research from both emerging scholars and recognised
authorities. As acquisitions editor, I am responsible for the management of
this list and have been actively developing our development studies profile
for the last year in order to increase our reputation in this field. I
would like to continue to increase our profile and would therefore
appreciate the opportunity to discuss new and emerging themes in your area.
In line with the development of our development studies list, I am pleased
to announce a new interdisciplinary series on the transition economies. The
'Transition and Development Series', edited by Ken Morita of Hiroshima
University, aims to analyse the changes in both transition and developing
countries in order to greatly improve the explanations and theories in
social science.
In addition to this, 'The Chinese Economy Series', edited by Aimin Chen of
Indiana State University and Shunfeng Song of the University of Nevada,
Reno, concentrates on an examination of China's socio-economic transition.
Ashgate has a full-service web site at, www.ashgate.com that you may wish to
look at before deciding whether to contact me. From the home page you may
notice that Ashgate specialises predominately in research monographs. This
is a market niche that we have taken many years to cultivate and a niche
that not only distinguishes us from our competitors, but also enables us to
publish very good research with a specific market orientation. Therefore,
you may also like to discuss projects for which you may be seeking an
appropriate publisher.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With all good wishes and thanks for your time.
