The series has been established to focus on providing an outlet that can encourage debate for those with interest in financial markets and investment, while also providing a thoroughly researched outlet that can be used for academic and educational purposes. Specifically, The De Gruyter Studies in Finance series will be particularly useful for specialist audiences such as legal, accounting and financial practices, while also providing substantial benefits for upper master’s level and research students in the fields of economics, law, accounting, taxation, investment and portfolio management. The series aspires to contribute to a global perspective on the changing dynamics of financial markets, seeking authors with innovative approaches to analyse and examine key issues and developments, which can be taken from a multi-disciplinary perspective. We welcome the submission of both monographs and edited collections that share these aims. We are particularly interested in new book proposals, including: i) individual monographs; ii) edited volumes from multiple contributors across different organisations; and iii) technical publications covering specialist topics.
