It publishes original, peer-reviewed work covering both macro issues such as larger urbanisation processes, and economic shifts and qualitative research work focused on micro studies (either comparative or ethnographic based). Both individual authored and edited books are considered within the series with the possibility of identifying emerging topics for handbooks.
