Frances Pinter CV

Over the years the company's works made a substantial contribution to shaping and reshaping academic disciplines as they are today, providing more relevant and rigorous methodologies and breaking the mold with new interdisciplinary approaches.

The first field in which the company became an acknowledged leader was International Relations. But already in 1979 it led the pack by introducing a whole genre of books examining the social and economic impacts of new technologies. It also had strong lists in development, human rights and linguistics.
