Critical Perspectives on Accounting aims to provide a forum for the growing number of accounting researchers and practitioners who realize that conventional theory and practice is ill-suited to the challenges of the modern environment, and that accounting practices and corporate behavior are inextricably connected with many allocative, distributive, social, and ecological problems of our era. From such concerns, a new literature is emerging that seeks to reformulate corporate, social, and political activity, and the theoretical and practical means by which we apprehend and affect that activity.Research Areas Include:• Studies involving the political economy of accounting, critical accounting, radical accounting, and accounting's implication in the exercise of power• Financial accounting's role in the processes of international capital formation, including its impact on stock market stability and international banking activities• Management accounting's role in organizing the labor process• The relationship between accounting and the state in various social formations• Studies of accounting's historical role, as a means of "remembering" the subject's social and conflictual character• The role of accounting in establishing "real" democracy at work and other domains of life• Accounting's adjudicative function in international exchanges, such as that of the Third World debt• Antagonisms between the social and private character of accounting, such as conflicts of interest in the audit process• The identification of new constituencies for radical and critical accounting information• Accounting's involvement in gender and class conflicts in the workplace• The interplay between accounting, social conflict, industrialization, bureaucracy, and technocracy• Reappraisals of the role of accounting as a science and technology• Critical reviews of "useful" scientific knowledge about organizationsBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

New IISS-Routledge website! Search IISS Publications in one place: visit - www.iiss-routledgepublications.com The Military Balance is the annual assessment of the military capabilities and defence economics of 170 countries world-wide, produced annually by the IISS since 1959. It is an essential resource for those involved in security policymaking, analysis and research. Comprehensive tables detail major military training activities, UN and non-UN deployments, and give data on key equipment holdings and defence economics, as well as defence-expenditure trends over a ten-year period. The Military Balance 2010 also contains an essay on the defence industry in India. It also includes an updated Chart of Conflict, a wallchart showing current conflicts around the world, with selected supporting tables. This year's Military Balance examines key issues including the conflict in Afghanistan; the development of Iraq's security forces; the debate over NATO's strategic concept and operations in Afghanistan; an update on EU military operations; the progress of reforms in the Russian armed forces; military developments in Africa, including conflicts and the progress of the African Standby Force initiative; and developments in China's People's Liberation Army. The book also examines wider defence developments in East Asia and Australasia; South and Central Asia; Latin America and the Caribbean; Europe; the Middle East and North Africa; and North America. 'The Military Balance is the unique and vital resource on which informed public debate of the world's armed forces is founded. Up-to-date figures and information on defence budgets, procurement totals, equipment holdings, and military deployments are presented clearly and succinctly. In the area of defense information, where nationally produced fictions often masquerade as facts, The Military Balance is the internationally recognized source of record.' William S. Cohen, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Key features of The Military Balance include: * Region-by-region analysis: major military issues affecting each region; developments in defence economics, procurements and inventories. * Comprehensive tables: key data on military equipment and defence economics, such as selected tables of air capability and comparisons of international defence expenditure and military manpower. * Features: specialist essays focusing on defence industries in Asia and United Nations peacekeeping. * Wallchart: comprehensive world map showing armed conflicts and trends in conflict, with explanatory tables. The Military Balance provides, in a portable volume, the high-quality, reliable information that is needed to keep abreast of the complex contemporary international security environment.

Research in International Business and Finance (RIBAF) aims to publish empirical and applied research on issues relating to International Business and International Finance. The editors encourage the submission of high quality, insightful, well-written papers that explore current and new issues in International Business, International Finance, and the common grounds between these discipline areas.Papers that use new and or novel empirical methodologies to examine topical issues using extensive international data sets are particularly welcome.Country-level replication studies of key themes in International Business, International Finance, and in Finance are also welcome. In order to qualify as a replication study, the submitted paper must clearly state what is being replicated, why it is important to replicate it, why the particular replication is of interest to international business and finance scholars, and how the replication analysis contributes to the process of validating, negating, clarifying, or refining existing theory and/or evidence.For all submissions, high quality, well-written papers are essential. In order to respect the time constraints of RIBAF's committed reviewers, submissions that do not meet these high standards will be returned to the authors without seeking peer review.The scope of topics that are most interesting to RIBAF readers include the following:International financial integration and regulation;Culture in international business and finance;Economic geography in international business and finance;Ethics in international business and finance;Behavioral aspects in finance;International business and financial history;Critical perspectives on international business and finance;Methodology in international business and finance;International corporate governance, standards, and organisations;

The European Journal of Information Systems provides a distinctive European perspective on the theory and practice of information systems for a global audience.

We provide a critical view on technology, development, implementation, strategy, management and policy.

Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies requires close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing, and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design, and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor, and process levels.

To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems was founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize the novel system integration aspects of microelectronic systems, including interactions among system design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and system level qualification. Thus, the coverage of this Transactions focuses on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic system integration.

Topics of special interest include, but are not strictly limited to, the following: • System Specification, Design and Partitioning, • System-level Test, • Reliable VLSI/ULSI Systems, • High Performance Computing and Communication Systems, • Wafer Scale Integration and Multichip Modules (MCMs), • High-Speed Interconnects in Microelectronic Systems, • VLSI/ULSI Neural Networks and Their Applications, • Adaptive Computing Systems with FPGA components, • Mixed Analog/Digital Systems, • Cost, Performance Tradeoffs of VLSI/ULSI Systems, • Adaptive Computing Using Reconfigurable Components (FPGAs)
