What's New
LMD No. 11 is now almost complete. This is the Special Edition on Coastal Management in China and Australia with Guest Editors Associate Professor Stuart Pearson, Dr Xiao Hua Wang (School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, University of New South Wales Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy) and Professor Guifang Xue (Institute for the Law of the Sea, Ocean University of China).
The Edition has been a joint project with the Sino-Australian Research Centre for Coastal Management (SARCCM) hosted by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Ocean University of China (OUC). The papers and authors were initially selected from three workshops conducted in Australia and China during 2009-2010. Selected authors were invited to contribute and through their careful preparation and then further development through: pre-review by Guest Editors; initial revision by authors; second submission; English editing by a language editor; penultimate revision by the authors; further English editing if required; final submission online; a full peer review process; final revisions; copy editing and final submission before the Guest Editors and Chief Editor’s decision about the publication.
This is LMD’s second Special Edition – the previous one being LMD No. 9 on Indonesian Labour since Suharto: Perspectives from the Region with Guest Editors Dr Michele Ford of the University of Sydney, and Professor Kosuke Mizuno of Kyoto University. Both Special Editions involved a lengthy processes of reading and re-writing as authors who has not previously published widely, or at all, internationally worked to bring their articles within them range of international scholarly standards. For LMD these editions have been significant achievements. They have both expanded the range of scholarship and commentary available to international readers and given authors who might not otherwise have been able to publish in this way the opportunity to do so.
LMD No. 12 is a more traditional edition with articles on a variety of issues confronting management and labour in situations of accelerated economic growth and social development. Contributions by scholars from China, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh are currently being edited and re-written for publication in this edition. These articles will be put up as they are completed during the remainder of 2012. The edition remains open for further contributions.
