Acknowledgements
While writing this book, I have benefited from dozens of conversations with colleagues and friends. My special thanks go to, in no particular order: Andrew Crane, David Blight, Tim Bartley, Janie Chuang, Luc Fransen, Jennifer Clapp, Daniel Mügge, Claire Cutler, Jane Lister, Ben Cashore, Elena Shih, Nicola Phillips, Vivek Soundararajan, Laura Spence, V. Spike Peterson, Jamie Peck, Michael Bloomfield, Peter Dauvergne, Mark Anner, John Hobson, Scott Nova and Brian Burgoon. Extra special thanks go to J. J. Rosenbaum for her detailed and incisive suggestions on a draft of Chapter 4, and Penelope Kyritsis and Tom Hunt for their excellent insights on a draft of the full manuscript. I am also grateful to two anonymous Polity reviewers for their helpful feedback.
My colleagues and friends at the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI), especially fellow members of our Corporations Reading Group, have made writing this book exciting and a less lonely task than it would have been otherwise. They helped me to sharpen ideas and tackle parts of the global economy that I wouldn’t otherwise have been bold enough to write about. Thanks especially to Andrew Gamble, Colin Hay, Andreas Rühmkorf, Michael Jacobs, Scott Lavery, Jon Gamu, Liam Stanley, Andrew Hindmoor, Tony Payne, Owen Parker, Natalie Langford, Ellie Gore, Remi Edwards, Ed Pemberton, Patrick Kaczmarczyk and Charline Sempéré. I feel lucky to have such wonderful colleagues who reciprocate my enthusiasm for researching labour and corporations.
I’m hugely grateful for all of the support I’ve been given over the years by the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Sheffield. My heads of department, Nicola Phillips and Andrew Hindmoor, and colleagues have been a profound source of encouragement since I joined the department in 2013. In the last few years, I have been especially lucky to be mentored by fellow women professors Ruth Blakeley, Rosaleen Duffy and Charlie Burns. The department has made this book possible in myriad ways, from research assistant funding to encouraging big-picture thinking and pluralism with respect to theory and methods.
For funding the research that underpins and informs this book, I am grateful to: the United Kingdom Economic and Social Research Council, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, СКАЧАТЬ
