It incorporates, and contributes to, key debates in a wide array of disciplines, including history, environmental studies, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, political science, geography, economics, law, and labor and gender studies. Moving beyond the restrictions imposed by Eurocentric time frames and national and regional studies analyses, this fundamentally interdisciplinary series is committed to exploring new paradigms with which to interpret past events, particularly those that are influenced by human-environment interaction. In this way, it provides readers with compelling new insights into areas from labor relations and migration to diplomacy and trade.
