Emerald - Established in 1967, Emerald Group Publishing Limited publishes over 700 titles comprising 200 journals, nearly 300 books and more than 200 books series as well as an extensive range of online products and services. Our strongly-held philosophy is that research should be both rigorous and relevant to connect the academic world to the world of practice. Sociology is a recent addition to Emerald's portfolio, but now marks one of our fastest-growing areas of coverage. As a discipline which touches and influences many, the breadth of content within the portfolio is significant, befitting the increasing complexity faced by researchers studying the social world. Theoretical, empirical and methodological approaches are offered which provide context to current social, political and cultural debates. As well as covering many core and developing areas within this multifaceted discipline, Emerald is privileged to publish in areas which many consider deserve better representation across the genre. This growing portfolio is truly international with core strengths in the area of work, economy and organisations, as well as the globally relevant field of politics and social change.
