E-book Housing the Poor : The Right to the City and Policy Arrangements in Ur…

What is so interesting about housing policies? I have been asked this question many times over the last years, ever since I became interested in the topic of housing. I used to respond in a simple way, disregarding the complexity of the topic: ‘We cannot allow the existence of one billion people living in slums!’, ‘We live in the 21st century; there must be a way to improve the living con…

E-book Freezing Fertility : Oocyte Cryopreservation and the Gender Politics o…

When I imagine my eggs, I think of them as grey and shiny, like slippery helium balloons clustering in the thousands within organs lit up and awake. I think of eggs enfleshed in follicular cavities, folding again and again into a sponge of cells and yellow bodies, pulsing patiently with only an occasional burst: membrane breaking at the touch of engorged fimbrae, fallopian fingers brushing the …

E-book The Rise of State Capital : Transforming Markets and International Pol…

E-book Entrepreneurial Theorizing : An Approach to Research

Entrepreneurship scholars have paid significant attention to the role of theory in their research. Indeed, publishing in most top entrepreneur-ship and management journals requires a paper to contribute to theory (Hambrick, 2007; Shepherd, 2010). Although some scholars question this dominant role of theory (Hambrick, 2007;Pfeffer, 2014), few disagree about…

One of the main trends in labour relations across Europe – started already in the 1980s – is “decentralisation” in collective bargaining at the company level. This involves a shift from multi-employer bargaining to single-employer bargaining with trade unions or other workers representatives (Marginson, 2015; oecd, 2018; Traxler, 1995; Visser, 2016).
