The rise of social inequality in societies across the globe in recent decades has taken centre stage in social analysis and led to increased interest in issues related to class, race, and gender, with special attention to social movements that address these inequities to bring about social change and social transformation in the late 20th and early 21st century. These topics are now the mainstay of studies in sociology and the social sciences.
Growing interest in research and scholarship on wealth and income inequality, racial, ethnic, and gender oppression, and social movements that have emerged to struggle against these inequalities across the globe have become important areas of study in academia today. This series intends to bring this knowledge to both academic and lay audiences worldwide to promote discussion and debate on these important topics that impact societies around the world.
The series is currently calling for full book proposals. Reach out to the series editor or Commissioning Editor for a proposal form.

Emerald Studies in Class and Inequality examines class divisions and social inequality in the United States, Europe and globally. In addressing these issues the volumes in this series make an important contribution to an analysis and understanding of this urgent societal problem that we confront in the early twenty-first century.
During the course of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, there has been an enormous increase in wealth and income inequality.
Focusing on the United States, Europe and globally, the series interrogates the unequal distribution of wealth and income over the past several decades.
Providing an analysis of the widening gap in wealth and income arising from class, racial and gender inequalities that are the outcome of exploitative social relations, this series examines the class basis of inequality, in particular the exploitation of wage-labor by capital which prevails in contemporary capitalist society.
Focusing on the polarization of classes through the ever-widening gap in wealth and income the series explores the class dynamics of social inequality stemming from the disparity in income, and wealth which has led to an uneven and unequal distribution that has reached unprecedented levels in recent history.
We are passionate about working with researchers globally to deliver a fairer, more inclusive society. This perhaps has never been more important than in today’s divided world.
The study of politics and the state is central to an understanding of social relations in society, especially as related to the class nature of politics, political power, and the state. As the most powerful institution in society, the state plays a prominent role in decisions that affect many spheres of social life. However, political power is deeper and more pervasive when we explore the class basis of social relations and its impact on the state. Thus, control of the state by dominant classes in society affects the nature of society and social relations in a significant way.
This series aims to address the nature and extent of political power and the crucial role class plays in affecting the nature and policies enacted by the state. Thus, to understand the very basis of politics and the state’s actions in society, the series addresses the class nature of political power as manifested in politics and the state.
The series will take up these topics in comparative-historical perspective and include a variety of case studies on political power and the state around the world.
The series is currently calling for full book proposals. Reach out to the series editor or Commissioning Editor for a proposal form.

At a time of great political turmoil, the study of the relationship between politics, the state and society is essential as we move forward in the twenty-first century. This series makes an important contribution to the study of the class nature of the state and political power as they affect society and social relations on a global scale.
The books in this series aim to examine the nature and dynamics of the state and political institutions that serve particular class interests and are the leading forces that promote prevailing power relations and maintain the established social order.
Simultaneously investigating the social movements aimed at challenging state power that are increasingly taking the lead in confronting the powers of the state through various forms of resistance across the globe, this series provides an analysis of the relationship between the state and opposing class forces vying for power in attempting to understand the dynamics of politics and political power in contemporary capitalist society.

Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change generates new knowledge about central aspects of human life: why and how we organize into movements for political and social change, and why and how we engage social conflicts and build peace. It has helped define and advance scholarship in social movements for more than 40 years.
Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change (RSMCC) was established in 1977 by editor, Louis Kriesberg, the Maxwell Professor of Social Conflict Studies at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
Patrick G. Coy, who founded the School of Peace & Conflict Studies at Kent State University, edited the series from 2000 until 2018. Today the RSMCC series continues its leading role as an important outlet for quantitative and qualitative data-driven research, under the direction of its next editor, Lisa Leitz.
Many leading scholars have published their work in RSMCC, including Elise Boulding, John Burton, Donatella della Porta, Amitai Etzioni, Myra Marx Ferree, Jennifer Earl, John Foran, Johan Galtung, William Gamson, Andre Gunder Frank, Craig Jenkins, Lester Kurtz, Jane Mansbridge, Doug McAdam, John D. McCarthy, Alberto Melucci, David Meyer, Christopher Mitchell, Sharon Erickson Nepstad, Pamela Oliver, Karl Dieter Opp, Sarah Soule, Suzanne Staggenborg, Jackie Smith, David Snow, Verta Taylor, Charles Tilly, Simon Teune, Stellan Vinthagen, and Mayer Zald.
Social movement scholars use the RSMCC series to connect their research with theories of peacebuilding and nonviolence, while other scholars use the series to explore new frontiers in conflict resolution and patterns of violent non-state actors. The series is an important home for interdisciplinary and international scholarship at the forefront of research and theory development related to societies’ struggles over resources, power, and agency.
We are passionate about working with researchers globally to deliver a fairer, more inclusive society. This perhaps has never been more important than in today’s divided world.
