CAREER DEVELOPMENT SERIES Connecting Theory and Practice Volume 7 Series Editor Wendy Patton, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Editorial Board Audrey Collin, DeMontfort University, Leicester, UK Kobus Maree, University of Pretoria, South Africa Peter McIlveen, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Vladimir Skorikov, University of Hawaii, USA Raoul van Esbroeck, Vrije Universiteit, Brussels, Belgium

Scope Recent developments in the literature on career have begun to reflect a greater global reach and acknowledgement of an international/ global understanding of career. These developments have demanded a more inclusive understanding of career as it is experienced by individuals around the world. Related issues within the career literature include the relationships within the career theory literature, or theory integration and convergence, and between theory and practice. The influence of constructivism is another influence which is receiving sustained attention within the field. The series will be cutting edge in focusing on each of these areas, and will be truly global in its authorship and application. The primary focus of the series is the theory-practice nexus.
