Call for Book Chapter Proposals: Intergenerational Responsibility in the 21st Century
Vernon Press invites chapter proposals for a forthcoming collected volume on ‘Intergenerational Responsibility in the 21st Century’ edited by Julia M. Puaschunder (Harvard University and The New School Department of Economics).
The
main theme is intergenerational equity – the fairness to provide an at
least as favorable standard of living as experienced today – and contemporary
trends in intergenerational responsibility in the public and private sectors. We
welcome contributions to the study of intergenerational equity from across the
social sciences, including behavioral sciences, cultural studies, economics, humanities,
science and technology, and international development. Contributions offering
novel perspectives on intergenerational leadership, documenting alternative approaches
and methods for advanced studies or of direct relevance to contemporary debates
and implications for public policy are particularly encouraged.
Sample topics
- Aging population; Climate change; Complex intertemporal networks;
- Corporate Social Responsibility; Leadership management;
- Intergenerational equity; Intergenerational leadership; Intergenerational network design; Intergenerational relations; Intertemporal discounting;
- Migration; Overindebtedness; Overlapping generations; Pension reform;
- Policy implications of intergenerational fairness; Social glue; Social network theory / analysis
Chapter proposal guidelines
• The book chapter should be the product of original research and scholarship. It may reflect an original idea or the application of an existing theory to a new setting.
• The
contribution should be in an area in which writers are experts in courtesy of
extensive study, research and/or professional experience. The chapter should be
of a sufficiently high academic standard to stand the test of peer review.
•
The chapter should strive to make a contribution
to the field, add upon existing research, or fill a market niche. In all cases,
it should be of interest to a sufficiently large community of researchers and
practitioners to justify publication. Submissions must be original
contributions and not under consideration for publication at another outlet at
the same time.
Submission procedure
Please send a short book chapter proposal (5 pages maximum) or extended abstract to submissions@vernonpress.com by May 31, 2016 – preferably including a list of references planned to be covered. After initial assessment, authors will be invited to submit a 5,000-8,000 words chapter by December 15, 2016 for double blind review without containing any reference to the author(s) and in compliance with Vernon Press submission guidelines (download guidelines here).
