The Routledge Handbook of the Gig Economy

The Routledge Handbook of the Gig Economy

Research on the growth of the precarious economy is of signifi cant interest as the economy increasingly becomes dependent on gig work. However as platform and automated service work has grown there remains a chasm in understanding the key aspects of digital labour. This handbook presents comprehensive theoretical empirical and historical accounts of the political economy of informal work from the late 20th century to the present. It examines the rich and varied analysis and critique of the informalisation of work focusing on its most signifi cant theories intellectual traditions and authors. It highlights the political social cultural and developmental impact of the deterioration of employment in the Global North and Global South as well as the extreme threat posed to the planet by the growth of contingent work poverty and enduring and increasing inequalities produced and reproduced by the reformation of capitalism in the contemporary age of neoliberal capitalism. The period from the 1980s to the present is marked by the expanded extraction of surplus value from workers through the creation of non-standard jobs and the restructuring of work. A central component of the restructuring of work is the extension of gig employment through the development of algorithmic platforms which direct labourers to perform discrete tasks. This is a definitive collection representing the primary reference work contributing to our understanding of the subject. The book is written and presented in a clear manner accessible to scholars and researchers of international political economy labour economics and sociology who are eager for new research examining this phenomenon as well as specialists in the field of labour relations.

The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Handbook introduces contextualises critiques and discusses a range of perspectives associated with the concept of the circular economy. These perspectives span an array of subjects including economics environmental policymaking sociology environmental science environmental and industrial engineering management international development and human geography. A fundamental underpinning of the Handbook is that it takes account of a wide range of sectors as well as geographical perspectives that incorporate both a Global North and Global South world context. This approach is crucial because it is only within such a holistic perspective that the circular economy concept can truly be examined. In addition these issues are examined both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective using real-world case studies for illustration. Given its wide subject sectoral and geographical areas of focus the Handbook should be of value not only for those undertaking research in the field of circular economy but also stakeholders involved in policymaking as well as decision-making on the front line. | The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology

This second edition covers recent developments around the world with contributors from 33 different countries. It widens the handbook’s scope by including ecological design; consideration of cultural dimensions of the use and conservation of urban nature; the roles of government and civil society; and the continuing issues of equity and fairness in access to urban greenspaces. New features include an emphasis on the biophilic design of homes and workplaces demonstrating the value of nature in order to counter the still prevalent attitude among many developers that nature is a constraint rather than a value. The volume explores great practical achievements that have occurred since the first edition with many governments increasingly recognizing and legislating on urban nature and green infrastructure matters since cities play a major role in adapting to change particularly to climate crisis. New topics such as the ecological role of light at night and human microbiota in the urban ecosystem are introduced. Additional attention is given to food production in cities particularly the multiple roles of urban agriculture and household gardens in different contexts from wealthy communities to the poorest informal settlements in deprived communities. The emphasis is on demonstrating what can be achieved and what is already being done. The book aims to help scholars and graduate students by providing an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current urban ecological thinking across the range of disciplines such as geography ecology environmental science/studies planning and urban studies that converge in the study of towns and cities and urban design and living. It will also assist practitioners and civil society members in discovering the ways diff erent specialists and thinkers approach urban nature. | The Routledge Handbook of Urban Ecology
