3 Advanced Introduction to Creative Industries John Hartley, Curtin University, Australia and London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ‘20 years ago, John Hartley was at least partly responsible for establishing the creative industries as an academic field; his ongoing project to understand them deeply, and advocate for them passionately, finds new expression here. This characteristically ambitious, wide-ranging and, above all, lively book is - much like the creative industries themselves – bubbling with unruly ideas, unlikely connections, and hope for the future.’ – Jean Burgess, Queensland University of Technology, Australia January 2021 208 pp Hardback 978 1 83910 893 8 £85.00 / $120.00 January 2021 Paperback 978 1 83910 895 2 £16.95 / $26.95 Elgar Advanced Introductions series TEXTBOOK - PRE-ORDER YOUR EXAM COPY Advanced Introduction to Global Production Networks Neil M.

Its sophisticated analysis of fascinating and wide-ranging examples demonstrates that far from being a passive platform, territory is an active and contested element in so many of the dramas of our age. We forget this at our peril.’ – Nick Megoran, Newcastle University, UK 2020 224 pp Hardback 978 1 78811 280 2 £85.00 / $130.00 eBook • Elgaronline Elgar Research Agendas Advanced Introduction to Cities Peter J.
