Call for book chapters for an edited volume on Inequality (in EU, non-EU countries, the USA and beyond)
Inequality is widespread and seems to be an inevitable attribute of mankind development. Yet the poverty in the world is reduced, the forms of inequality developed. Our understanding of inequality has changed during last decades and the growing phenomenon of inequality became a matter for deep concern. To overcome current challenges of development means to avoid possible future economic, social and environmental catastrophes related to inequality problems. The book is expected to unite free thinkers, open-minded scholars and experienced practitioners in their efforts to focus on the sources, causalities and consequences of the different types of inequality.
We invite chapters that deal with any of the following sub-topics along the theme (the list is not exhaustive): gender inequality, social inequality, economic inequality, inequality in health and education, demographic research on wealth distribution at different levels, migration processes, minorities versus majorities group dynamics in different societies, international cooperation on sustainable development, innovations in a sphere of social justice and active citizenship towards solving the inequality problem. The case methodology is welcomed (EU, non-EU countries, the USA and beyond). The best practices from the different parts of the globe, that involve and explore the roles of civil societies, NGOs, national agencies, policy-makers, development agencies, UN Agencies, international organizations, (World Bank, IMF, Development Banks etc.) are considered as preferable, but not exclusively.
The aim is not to bring everyone into agreement regarding the inequality but to find new ways and perspectives to get a step forward to solve it.
Please submit one-page abstracts/proposals (500 words, that include Title, Abstract itself and a note on methods and sources) and a short biographical note (150 words max) to Associate Professor Hanna Shvindina, Sumy State University (shvindina@management.sumdu.edu.ua ) or Professor Medani Bhandari, International Program Director- Atlantic State Legal Foundation, USA, Director Equality Foundation, USA, Prof. Sustainability, Akamai University, (medani.bhandari@gmail.com)
